Legislator Steven J. Flotteron recognized Nathaniel Joseph Polk of Troop 43 in Bay Shore for earning his Eagle Scout Honors. Nathaniel demonstrated leadership with his Eagle Scout Project by planning, organizing and leading the Nicholas A. Smith Memorial Walk to raise awareness for Suicide Prevention and raising nearly $3,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He looked up to Nicholas as a mentor, and as the kind of person he wanted to become. This walk was his way of remembering Nicholas and all he meant to him as he went through the ranks of scouting.
