Aedan Kelly achieves the rank of Eagle Scout
On August 29, 2020 at a small ceremony held at the Clark American Legion Pavilion, Aedan Louis Kelly was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout which is the Boy Scouts of America’s highest honor. Aedan is a member of BSA Troop 145. He lives in Clark, NJ and is a recent graduate of Arthur L. Johnson High School. For his Eagle Service Project, Aedan solicited donations and installed a granite memorial honoring all fallen Union County Firefighters. The monument was placed in front of Kenilworth Fire Headquarters.

Bush, Senator Robert Menendez, NASA Astronaut Commander Scott Kelly, New Jersey State FMBA, US Marine Corps, US Air Force Blue Angels, US Navy SEALS, and the American Legion.
