A ceremony honoring three who made Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Scouting, took place July 5 at Albion Middle School to recognize Troop 446’s Matix Ward, Preston Roy and Nash Corson. All three are Albion residents.

Each of them had to lead a significant project to benefit the community. In March, Corson organized a blood drive for the American Red Cross and coupled it with a food drive to benefit the Albion Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry.

In January, Ward led volunteers in building a picnic table and hiking trail for Thurston Park. Roy, who completed his project in 2022, led a team to construct new side stairs for the Albion Public Library and revamped the wheelchair ramp as well.

Corson, 18, is the son of Alyssa and Michael Corson of Albion. In September will be going into his senior year at Lawrence High School and also his last year at Kennebec Valley Community College where he is working towards earning his Welding Certificate.

Roy, 17, is the son of Alissa and Chuck Roy of Albion. He is going into his senior year at Lawrence High School.

Ward, 19, is the son of Elizabeth and Matthew Ward of Albion. He is going to be a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire, where he is majoring in mechanical engineering. He is a graduate of Lawrence High School.
