Alex Clifton of Port O’Connor

Boy Scout Troop 361 Alex G Clifton has completed his Eagle Project at Boggy Nature Park. Alongside his Scoutmaster Ron Molina, and mentors Louis De La Garza and Rudy Garza, and with the generous assistance of Calhoun County Commissioner Kenny Finster, family and troop members he completed 2 covered picnic tables for public use at the park. He hopes the picnic tables will offer the public a place to enjoy a break for lunch or just to watch a sunset over Boggy.

Alex has been involved in Scouting since a very young age and credits scouting with many of the skills he has today. He has participated in many camp outs and summer camps on his progress toward ranks. He has served his troop as Patrol Leader and is currently a member of the Order of the Arrow. Alex successfully completed a mile swim for a Merit Badge that highlighted his ability as an excellent swimmer.

Alex enjoys cooking outdoors and developed his food service skills working as Camp Staff at Camp Karankawa assisting in serving meals to 200 plus scouts for 3 meals a day. He has been employed in the food service industry since the age of 16. Alex plans to finish school and go to college where he will pursue an career in the hospitality and guest services industry. Alex will be recognized with a Court of Honor Ceremony later this year where he will be surrounded by family and friends as he receive his Eagle Certification.
