Justin had his Eagle Board of review on Thursday night and he was informed that he successfully completed his review. Justin is the son of Mark and Marianne Hall of Berlin. Justin is currently a Sophomore attending Berlin High School.

Justin’s Eagle Project was to build and locate benches along trails at Dyken Pond Nature Center. Justin has also earned over 125 hours of Community Service from the Veterans Scouts association.
