Riverview presents Eagle Scout proclamation to Isabelle Alderman

Mayor Andrea M. Swift presented a formal city proclamation Tuesday recognizing Isabelle Alderman of Boy Scout Troop 172 for earning the rank of Eagle Scout and for leading a service project supporting chemotherapy patients.

"Scouts who make the rank of Eagle deserve recognition for their leadership, service, perseverance, and commitment," Mayor Andrea M. Swift said as she read the proclamation and presented it to Alderman and her family. The proclamation noted that Alderman planned and led assembly, decoration and distribution of care packages for patients at Karmanos Cancer Institute as her Eagle project.

Council members and family members gathered at the dais for the presentation. Council members congratulated Alderman; Mayor Swift said, "Congratulations, Isabelle." The council framed the proclamation as recognition of youth leadership and community service.

The council did not take separate formal action on the proclamation beyond the presentation. The meeting proceeded to routine business after the recognition.
