ut Troop 10 recently completed a highly successful school supplies and materials drive for Adventures in Learning. Adventures is the outstanding after-school program that offers individual instruction and homework assistance to Great Neck and Manhasset students at the EOC Building on Community Drive in Spinney Hill.
Eagle Scout is the rank after Life Scout. The supplies drive was one of Toby Costello’s Life Scout’s community projects.
Toby developed this project after speaking with Adventures in Learning executive director Diana Holden, who indicated that the organization’s budget was running low on school supplies and other materials. Toby got to work, organizing Troop 10’s scouts. They reached out to their families, as well as friends and neighbors, all of whom gave generously and enthusiastically.
“Adventures in Learning was absolutely thrilled by the donations,” Holden said. “Toby’s efforts really demonstrate a terrific community spirit. Frankly, his achievement symbolizes what scouting truly is. We thank Toby Costello and all of the Boy Scouts of Troop 10 ever so much. And please know that we have put all of the supplies and materials to good use.”
Scoutmaster Dwight Rosenstein remarked that “with this project, Toby and his fellow troop members have exemplified the Scouting tradition of service to the community.” Ms. Holden said.
