Congratulations to Eric Lim, 16, of Oakley Boy Scout Troop 152 on becoming an Eagle Scout. Eric joins brothers Brian, 25, and Kevin, 23, as the family’s third Eagle Scout. His cousin Mark Flannery is also an Eagle Scout.

Eric’s Eagle project involved painting distance markers every quarter mile along the Marsh Creek Trail between Oakley and Brentwood. Working with the East Bay Regional Park District and Friends of Marsh Creek, Eric coordinated his fellow scouts and other volunteers in marking the trail in both directions. One group started in Brentwood and walked to Oakley, the other group began in Oakley and finished in Brentwood.

Eric is a junior at Freedom High School and the son of Jeff and Kathy Lim, who are very proud of his accomplishment of earning scouting’s highest rank.
