Woodrow Shattuck Becomes Eagle Scout

Woodrow Shattuck, a member of Berlin Boy Scout Troop 44, recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement in Boy Scouting. He is the son of Katharine Shaskus and Randall Shattuck.

As a Cub Scout in Pack 41, Woodrow earned the Arrow of Light. With Troop 44, he has held positions of Patrol Leader, Quartermaster, Senior Patrol Leader, and Junior Assistant Scoutmaster.  He received multiple scouting awards including the World Conservation Award and four 50-Miler badges. He also served as the Crew Leader for a 62-mile hike at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, often considered the epitome of the scouting experience.

His Eagle Scout leadership and service project was aimed at improving the appearance of the entranceway at Hungerford Park by improving unsightly hedges and replacing them with flowering plants.

Outside of scouting, Woodrow was involved in the Berlin FIRST Robotics team for six years, and was privileged to drive the team’s robot at competitions during the 2010 season and during the St. Louis Championships in 2011. He is a 2011 Berlin High School graduate, currently attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute majoring in chemical engineering.
