Legislator Leslie Kennedy with Skylar Fallon, Connor Fallon, Russell Fallon, Elias Velez-Maldonado, and Andrew Frey, Jr.June 25, 2016 – At a ceremony at Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle, Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R, Nesconset) congratulated several young members of the Royal Rangers Outpost #149 on attaining the Gold Medal of Achievement, the highest honor available in the organization. Skylar Fallon, Connor Fallon, Russell Fallon, Elias Velez-Maldonado, and Andrew Frey, Jr. were presented with the award, an honor that is only achieved by 1% of Royal Rangers worldwide.
A Christian youth organization similar to the Boy Scouts of America, the Royal Rangers promote the mental and spiritual growth of young Christian men. The Gold Medal of Achievement in particular requires a Royal Ranger to demonstrate his mental, social and spiritual development through a capstone project. “Today, many of us parents do everything to accelerate the educational and physical growth of our children for the sake of their futures,” Legislator Kennedy remarked after the ceremony, “but it is also true that we often neglect their social and spiritual growth. In receiving the Gold Medal of Achievement, these individuals have demonstrated themselves as faith men in our community.”
