Press Release Body = Delphi Academy of Florida student Winston McDaniel, 13, of Clearwater, Florida earned his Life Scout advancement Monday, September 25th. Winston was honored along with his fellow scouts of Troop 313 in a ceremony at the Fort Harrison Hotel.
Winston takes an active leadership role as Troop 313's Senior Patrol Leader. He joined when he was 6 years old as a Cub Scout. He then moved on to become a Boy Scout at age 11. And he is now working towards achieving the next and highest rank of Eagle Scout.
In order to earn the rank of Life Scout, scouts have to be active in their troop for at least six months, demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath and Scout Law in their everyday lives, earn five more merit badges (for a total of 11), take part in a service project requiring at least six hours of work, actively serve in a position of leadership, take part in a Scoutmaster conference and complete a board of review.
Winston earned six merit badges over the summer: Reading, Citizenship in the Nation, Cinematography, Personal Management, Communication and Theater.
Winston is looking forward to achieving his Eagle Scout status within the next six months. To earn the Eagle Scout rank, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service and outdoor skills.
Delphi Academy of Florida is very proud of Winston and the other members of Troop 313 for their achievements. Troop 313 is hosted by Delphi Academy of Florida.
