Brendan Karolchyk the son of Scott and Sharon Karolchyk of Lake Hopatcong recently completed his Eagle Scout project. As a result, the K-9 Officers of the Union County Sheriff’s Office will have a new storage shed outfitted with K-9 bite suit dryers and storage areas for other K-9 equipment.
For his Eagle Scout service project, Brendan designed the shed himself and coordinated the efforts to make it a reality. Brendan organized the effort with the Union and Morris County Sheriff’s K-9 units, contractor Charlie Bautz, County Concrete of Ledgewood, Quality Fence of Ledgewood, and the help of his father Scott and his stepmom Sharon.
Brendan is a member of Boy Scout Troop 81 of Sparta, NJ. Brendan has now reached that rank of Eagle Scout and will celebrate the achievement in a ceremony in January.
