Westlake Eagle Scout honored for service

Kyle Jon Rhatigan

An Eagle Scout Court of Honor was held last month at St. Jude the Apostle Church in honor of Kyle Jon Rhatigan, 17, of Westlake Village.

Kyle, a 12th-grader at Crespi Carmelite High School, joined Troop 745 in 2000 and earned 12 Eagle required and 15 elective merit badges. He is a member of the Order of the Arrow.

For his service project, Kyle led a group of 24 volunteers in cleaning the grounds of the Holy Spirit Retreat Center in Encino. They built a retaining wall and benches, planted on a slope, cleared debris and put up a new volleyball net.
