6 Eagle Scouts to be honored at Saturday ceremony

MAT-SU — The highest honor conferred by the Boy Scouts will be awarded to six Scouts from Troop 321 at a Court of Honor ceremony at 7 p.m., Oct. 15 at Mat-Su Career and Technical High School in Wasilla.

Troop 321 Scoutmaster Kathy Olson said her ties to this group stretch back to when she was their den leader when they started as Cub Scouts together in Pack 300.

“The Great Alaska Council, Bear Paw District, the Charter Organization Church on the Rock and the scoutmaster could not be more proud of these six Scouts from Troop 321,” Olson said.

The six Eagle Scouts are Nick Durbin, Brandon Olson, Tyler Olson, Kody Shaw, Marshall Watson III and Rob Lozanoff.

Durbin completed his Eagle Scout award Aug. 25, 2010. His father, Pat Durbin, and brother, Nathan Durbin, are also Eagle Scouts.

Brothers Brandon and Tyler Olson completed their Eagle Scout awards Aug. 9. Their grandfather, Leroy, and his brother, Dan Slanaker — their great uncle — became Eagle Scouts in Oregon 54 years ago in 1957.

Marshall Watson III completed his Eagle Scout award Aug. 9. His father, Marshall Watson II, is a Life Scout.

Shaw completed his Eagle Scout award Aug. 9 and Lozanoff completed his Eagle Scout award Sept. 22.
