Grandson of Taylorville couple earns Eagle Scout rank

Last fall, Andrew Alberts earned the rank of Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America.

Andrew is the second oldest son of John and Kelly Alberts and the grandson of Gary and Mafalda Alberts of Taylorville.

Andrew has been involved in scouting since the first grade and is currently a senior at Mead High School in Longmont, Colo.

For his Eagle project, Andrew led a group of youth and adults who built new shelving units to store drum equipment for the marching band and the unified percussion squad at Mead High School.

Andrew will be attending Northern Colorado University in the fall to earn a BS in nursing.
