At a recent court of honor, Jack Shive of Barnegat Township earned the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve, as he received his Eagle badge during a ceremony at the township recreation center.

To earn this honor, the Barnegat High School student had to demonstrate his leadership ability by completing a project to benefit his community. The Boy Scout Troop 26 member set his sights on building two double-seater swinging gliders for and cleaning up Meadowedge Park in Barnegat on East Bay Avenue.
