Boy Scout Colin Dickens earns his Eagle Scout award, becoming the first to do so from Alfred Street Baptist Church’s Troop 133. Celebrating at the May 10 City Council meeting, he’s joined by (from left) Darren Dickens, Rhonda Dickens. Mayor Allison Silberberg, City Councilman John Chapman, family friend Johnny President, Collier Dickens, and Daryn Dickens. For his Eagle Scout project, Colin Dickens marked storm drains that led into waterways in an effort to encourage his neighbors to prevent pollution in the Chesapeake. “The boys that commit themselves to obtaining Eagle, it’s a high honor,” said Chapman. “It’s a testament to the effort that you put forth and to the support system that you have.”
