Ian Wilmoth will achieve the rank of Eagle Scout on August 29th.

Ian Wilmoth has been involved in Boy Scouts since he was a tiger Cub when he was 7 years old. He set a personal goal of being an Eagle Scout, following the tradition of his grandfather, who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout when he was 17 years old.
On August 29th, Ian, 16, of Boy Scout troop 119, will be roasted by friends and family at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor. The ceremony will take place at his church, Ventura Vineyard, in the morning.
Ian focused his service project on two trails north of Fillmore.
The Condor and Alder Creek Trails had been closed since 2005 due to flooding and the Day Fire. With the help of family, friends, fellow scouts, and rangers from the Ojai Ranger District, the public can now enjoy the only public-access trail in the Sespe Condor Sanctuary. The once-eroded trail has now been built back up and restored. The Cow Springs campground, a 3 1/2 mi. hike up the Alder Creek Trail, is also available to the public. Floods had completely buried the two-foot high fire-rings and growth had overtaken the rustic campsite. Backpackers now have a primitive site to enjoy; and it is particularly nice in the Spring when the water is running down the nearby creek and falls.
He has served as Scribe, Patrol Leader, and is currently serving as Senior Patrol Leader of his troop. Ian is a home schooled high school student and has taken classes at Ventura College for 4 semesters. He plays mandolin and violin in the youth worship band at his church. He hopes to major in Mechanical Engineering with a specialty in Astro-Physics, and with one more year of High School is currently searching universities.
