Westborough – Scott G. McCullough and Benjamin McMillen Huber, two Boy Scouts from Troop 4 of Westborough/Shrewsbury, were recently honored as Eagle Scouts.
McCullough earned 24 merit badges and held several leadership positions, including instructor, patrol leader and assistant senior patrol leader.
For his Eagle Scout Project, McCullough worked with The Bridge, a human service agency in Westborough, to construct two raised garden beds for the residents to grow fresh vegetables. McCullough and his team of 14 volunteers spent 113 hours removing wood and debris from the site, constructing the gardens and filling them with topsoil for the completion of the project. His project benefits The Bridge by making the gardens more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain, and providing the residents with the opportunity to grow and take care of the plants.
A senior at Westborough High School (WHS), McCullough looks forward to majoring in computer engineering in college. He is an accomplished musician on the piano and clarinet, a drum major for the WHS Marching Band, and a member of the WHS Festival Jazz Band, Repertoire Jazz Band, Jazz Combo, Symphonic Band and Pit Orchestra. He is also an active member of the WHS National Honor Society and Tri-M Music Honor Society. McCullough is the son of Gerry and Suzanne McCullough.
Huber earned 43 merit badges and held several leadership positions, including den chief, instructor, and assistant Scout master.
For his Eagle Scout Project, Huber worked with the Congregational Church in Westborough, which he
attends, to replace existing cabinets by constructing two new custom built cabinets for Sunday school art supplies. After designing the new cabinet, Huber and his team of volunteers spent 121 hours building a locking cabinet with a larger storing capacity.
Huber is a 2014 graduate of Westborough High School and attends the University of Maine at Orono. In addition to Scouting, Huber was in the Concert Band since fifth grade playing the oboe. In his junior and senior years at WHS, he joined and was co-president of the Board Game Club at school and treasurer of the Chess Club. Huber is interested in pursuing a career as a high school history teacher. He is the son of Megan and Joe Huber of Westborough.
To earn the Eagle Scout Rank, a Scout must earn 21 merit badges including 12 that are required. He must hold a position of responsibility within the troop and must lead an Eagle Scout Service Project which will benefit a church, school or the community.
