0041‐2015 February 9, 2015 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Government House Communication Contacts: Kimberly Jones, Director ‐ 340‐332‐9282 Samuel Topp, Deputy Director – 340‐693‐4308 (Please do not publish phone numbers. Thank you.) GOVERNOR MAPP ATTENDS EAGLE SCOUT CEREMONY FOR VIRGIN ISLANDER PHILLIP EDWARDS (February 10, 2015‐St. Croix, US Virgin Islands) Governor Kenneth E Mapp was proud to be amongst the friends, family members and fellow scouts of troop 7227 as they gathered to honor and celebrate Phillip Edwards as he achieved his Eagle Scout status on Saturday evening. The Governor was touched by the support from the community and the drive of this young Virgin Islander to create a better community through his achievements as a Scout. Governor Mapp reflected upon his scouting career and his own achieve‐ ment as a Life Scout, as he related to the struggles and persistence necessary to rise to the level of an Eagle Scout. The governor then vowed to do his part in en‐ hancing scouting throughout the territory, engaging government in a “Career Day” where Scouts will have the opportunity to work in places of authority for the day, just as he did at their age. Governor Mapp congratulated the leadership of Troop 7227 on their fostering of now sixteen Eagle Scouts from St. Croix. “I am very proud of all of your achieve‐ ments, and I am humbled by the love and support that is evident here in this room tonight. I can see great things for you in your future, as you have already set the bar at your young age, Phillip Edwards, congratulations on your acquiring the cov‐ eted status of Eagle Scout.” The Governor then presented Mr. Edwards with a sig‐ nature Virgin Islands watch inscribed from the people of the Virgin Islands. # # #
