• Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming joined the family and friends of Brendan Snow at the Montauk Fire House on Sunday, January 10th to recognize his achievement of the highest scouting rank, the Eagle Award.

Snow earned 26 merit badges and served Troop 136 as Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, and Troop Guide.
