Boy Scout Troop 31 in Rochester would like to congratulate Bryan Corriea, Iain McManus and Cole Gretton, all of Marion, for their recent acceptances into the Order of the Arrow.

The Order of the Arrow is a service fraternity associated with the Boy Scouts of America that promotes community and camping service projects in support of the Boy Scouts and the local community.

To become a member, candidates are first voted in by their peers. They then complete a weekend of service, reinforcing the values of the program based on the legend and lore of the Lenne Lenape, or Delaware Indians.

Corriea, McManus and Gretton spent the weekend improving the waterfront area at Camp Norse in Kingston. They are now eligible to move on to a further level of recognition known as Brotherhood, which was completed this same weekend by Cole's father, Kevin Gretton, a scout leader and mentor of Troop 31.

Corriea, McManus and Gretton are sophomores at Old Rochester Regional High School and are on track to reach the rank of Eagle Scout within the next two years.
