Legislator Steven J.
Flotteron congratulated Scout Rob Gruskin from Boy Scout Troop 1 in Babylon, NY
on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Gruskin’s project was constructing four
Nursery Bat boxes which he installed in Southwards Pond in Babylon. The goal of
the boxes is to attract bats in an effort to reduce the chance of mosquito
borne illness that can occur in pond water.
Eagle Scout Gruskin is
a junior at Babylon High School. He is a member of the National Honor Society,
a Trumpet player in the school’s band and involved with Science Research. He is
interested in a career in Mechanical Engineering with applications in
Environmental Sciences.
