Nathaniel Klamut of O'Hara Township earned Boy Scouting's highest rank when he successfully completed the Eagle Scout Board of Review on March 6, 2024. The son of Elizabeth and John Klamut, Nathaniel led a team of youth and adult volunteers in planning, organizing and installing a sandbox and raised garden bed at Fox Hill Preschool at Faith United Methodist Church in Fox Chapel. The existing structure was a garden bed that had fallen into severe disrepair over the years. Klamut and his team removed the old garden bed, cleared the land around the old garden and constructed a new raised garden bed and added a sandbox. Preschoolers at Fox Hill can now play in the sandbox and learn small gardening tasks in the new, safer and more attractive structure. His project will serve young people for years to come.
A junior at Fox Chapel Area High School, Klamut's activities outside of Scouting include Volleyball and Marching Band. He also takes a number of advanced math courses. He has his sights set on college with a focus on engineering and economics. His parents speak with pride of his desire to use his Eagle Scout Project to serve preschool students and encouraging them to enjoy outdoor fun. Klamut credits his time and leadership opportunities as a member of Troop 380 in the Japeechen District for his desire to serve others and encourage young people to enjoy the outdoors.
