Eagle Scout designs fire safety brochure

BANGOR – An Eagle Scout Court of Honor was held for Michael Giles of Bangor on Aug. 12 at Camp Roosevelt in Eddington. Family, friends and Scouts from Pack 301 and Troop 301 attended the ceremony. Since attaining the rank of Eagle Scout in March, he also received both a bronze and a gold Eagle pin.

Giles’ Eagle Scout project was working with the city code enforcement officer to research and design a brochure on fire danger and fire preparedness specific to owners of manufactured homes. He and fellow Scouts from Troop 301 distributed the brochures to six mobile home parks in the Bangor area.

Giles is the son of Tom and Kim Giles of Bangor, and the grandson of Tina Giles of Bangor and Ray and Joni Harper of Orono.

Giles had been a carrier for the Bangor Daily News for six years and is a senior at Bangor High School.
