The Sturgeon Bay Common Council recognized its first area Eagle Scout in several years at Tuesday night’s meeting. The council didn’t have to look far to find a presenter fit to award the honor. Ezra Linnan, a Freshman at Sevastopol, was presented with an eagle scout award by Planning and Zoning Administrator, Christopher Sullivan-Robinson, an eagle scout himself. Sullivan-Robinson also happened to be the last scout to be recognized by the council. Linnan’s acceptance of the award was met with a standing ovation from the common council. He also offered words of encouragement.

For his Eagle Scout project, Linnan raised funds totaling $3600 and constructed a 100-foot segment of footbridge at the Crossroads at Big Creek. Linnan has been a scout since July of 2017. He is the Senior Patrol Leader of Boy Scouts of America Troop 1022 Bay Lakes Council.
