TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Lee Dewell Griffin II will be honored as Boy Scout Troop 115’s 100th Eagle Scout on Oct. 12 in Tallahassee.

Griffin is the son of Ken and Laura Griffin of Tallahassee, the grandson of Anglin and Hilda Coursey of DeFuniak Springs, Fla., Maurice R. Blondin of Lewiston, Maine, and James and Patricia Hall of Westville, Fla., and great-grandson of Marie Blondin of Lewiston, Maine, Agnes Callahan of Westville, Fla., and Myrtle Davidson of Apalachicola, Fla.

Griffin has been involved in Scouting since the second grade, when he entered as a Tiger Cub. He has been involved in Pack 26, sponsored by Springwood Elementary School in Tallahassee, and advancing to Troop 115, sponsored by St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Tallahassee.

Griffin’s Eagle Project, which is the summit of a young man’s Scouting career, was an effort to reduce the spread of infectious diseases being carried by mosquitoes. He orchestrated the erection of 16 bat houses in the Tallahassee area in hopes to help control the mosquito population and combat the spread of the West Nile Virus, the Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus and the Dengue Virus.

The Eagle ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12, at St. Paul’s with a reception to follow in Sander’s Hall.
