Josh Brown
Josh Brown is the son of Tom and Sue Brown and the youngest of 7 children in his family; which may contribute to his competitive spirit. He loves to compete and he’s willing to put in time and effort to achieve his goals. Josh does well in school, he works hard on the job, and he loves to compete with his 4 older brothers in whatever the current competition happens to be. Josh’s greatest love is sports - especially basketball. Since he was 3 years old, he has competed in basketball, even if the opposing team was imaginary (Oddly, he would sometimes report that he had lost to those imaginary teams). This year will be Josh’s 3rd year playing Varsity football at Westwood High School and his 4th year on the Varsity basketball team. After High School graduation, Josh is looking forward to serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
For his Eagle project, Josh chose to work with “Save the Family” fixing up a house and making it move-in ready for a family in need. He planned a time, gathered supplies, and organized a work crew. Thanks to family, friends and his supportive fellow scouts in Troop 50, he was able to successfully complete his project.
Before his Grandpa’s death in 2000, Josh’s grandfather proudly displayed a plaque with the names engraved of each of his grandsons who had earned the rank of Eagle Scout. As Josh accepts this award tonight, he will be the 36th and last of Darl Andersen’s grandsons to earn an Eagle Award. This is a day that Josh’s Grandpa dreamed about - to have all his grandsons reach Eagle rank. Josh’s family is so proud that he’s continuing in the Eagle tradition, and they’re grateful that he’s a young man who demonstrates the high principles of scouting.
