earn special award

Gorham Boy Scouts from Troop 73 have been recognized for their volunteerism on trails at Acadia National Park.

The scouts earning the Boy Scouts of America historic trails award are Matt Southard, Jesse Southard, Kyle Grass, Mark McShane III, Dan Bahun, Adam Harrington and Parker Lane.

Adult Troop 73 leaders are Scott Nystrom, Shawn Harrington, Mark McShane II and Tom Bahun.

As part of a community service project this year with Friends of Acadia and other scouting groups, the members of Troop 73 cleared brush and leaves from the park’s historic carriage roads, a 45-mile network of roads donated by philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr.

The Gorham Scouts spent a weekend camping, hiking and working in the park.
