Hayden, a Skowhegan resident, was pleasantly surprised when he learned that his had been selected, according to a news release from Chuck Mahaleris, district chairman for the Kennebec Valley District of Scouting.
“It’s outdoorsy and very artistic in my way of drawing things,” Taylor said.
Taylor, who attends Skowhegan Area High School, plans to hang the plaque in his living room where his other Scouting awards are displayed.
