Westview Student and Eagle Scout Gives Back to the Community

Posted on June 4, 2012

Jacob Zemper, a sophomore at Westview High School, performed the first and only Eagle Scout project carried out on board the USS Midway Museum.  As part of a community service project, Jacob organized and led 21 members of Boy Scout Troop 680 – Westview High School’s Navy JROTC and the Fleet Reserve Association – on a 267 man-hour expedition to restore the ship’s forward galley.  The group cleaned and painted the galley and the entry passageway, refurbished and sealed the floor and removed rust from appliances and fixtures.  The USS Midway museum showed gratitude by presenting Jacob with a plaque hanging in the newly-revamped galley.
