Brook gradearns Eagle
Clear Brook High School graduate Seth Moore was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Boy Scouting.
His Eagle Scout Court of Honor and regalia was held on Sept. 12 at St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Clear Lake.
Moore is a member of Boy Scout Troop 595 which is also chartered by St. Bernadette Catholic Church. His scoutmaster is Bernard Groce.
Moore began his scouting experience later than most other scouts. He was 13 years old and became a member of Troop 595 in the summer before entering Clear Brook High School as a freshman. He had only 4 1/2 years to obtain the rank of Eagle.
Seth now attends University of Houston and is a member of the Air Force ROTC where his goal is to become a pilot and officer.
