Johnson earns Eagle award

Connor Johnson, son of Aaron and Helena Johnson of Colfax, passed a board of review for the Eagle Scout award last week. Connor started on the path to Eagle as a Tiger Cub in first grade and made it through Cub Scouts where he earned the Arrow of Light, the highest honor in Cubs. He then joined Colfax Scout Troop 595 under the leadership of Scoutmaster Mark Clinton. Connor appreciates all the time and efforts he received from his mentors Clinton, Peg Jones and Todd Scholz along his path to Eagle Scout.

“This program has taught me a great deal, from wilderness survival to the satisfaction of community service,” he said.

After graduating at Colfax this June, Connor will study mechanical engineering at Washington State University.
