COMMUNITY Siblings achieve Eagle Scout rank

Contributed Report

The Hanover County Board of Supervisors recently recognized a brother and sister for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.

Patricia Dombroski and William Dombroski of Ashland were awarded proclamations at the board’s March 8 meeting for achieving the high honor. The brother and sister are both members of Boy Scout Troop 542.

Patricia Dombroski attained the rank of Eagle Scout on Aug. 18, 2022. To achieve the honor of Eagle Scout, she led a project to make 40 brightly-colored lap blankets for residents of the Hunter Holmes McGuire Medical Center in Richmond to help them feel warm and secure and to cheer them up. To successfully complete the project Patricia spent 46 hours and selected a no-sew design. This allowed Cub Scouts in the Den in which she was a Den Chief to help as well as others in the troop.

William Dombroski attained the rank of Eagle

Scout on Oct. 20, 2022. To achieve the honor of Eagle Scout, William led a group of Scouts and Leaders of Troop 544 to clear a trail and repair six benches at Pearson’s Corner Elementary School. The trail had been used as a nature study and the benches had been used for classroom seating. The trail and benches were in disrepair and unusable. All materials needed were donated by Pearson’s Corner Elementary School. This project took William 49 hours to complete.
