A Rank, and Skills, to
Last a Lifetime
By J.D. O’Gara
Only four percent of Boy
Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle
Scout, but in the Arego family
of Medway, 100% of Boy
Scouts achieved this rank, as
of last year. Ryan, 24, Tim, 18,
and Nick Arego, 16, of Medway
Troop 367, all put in years of
work to earn 21 merit badges,
demonstrated that they lived by
the principles of Scout Oath and
Scout Law, showed leadership in
Scouting and their community,
and completed an Eagle Scout
service project.
“My sons got involved and got
invited to other court of honors
and saw how great it was, and
they helped their peers get to
Eagle rank,” says Frank Arego,
who helped serve as a Cub Scout
and Boy Scout leader, who points
out that the Medway troop has
turned out a good number of
Eagle Scouts. “It’s a great community
and a great structure –
sportsmanship, and fitness and
good citizenship.” Arego says he
appreciates that his sons, who
also have a sister, learned to “do
good as a citizen, to work as a citizen
not only in the community
but in the nation as a whole.
“They see themselves as
something larger,” says Beth
Arego, of her three sons. She
describes scouting as a type of
family. “They learn at an early
age that in scouting, there are
goals you have to achieve to advance,
steps they have to take to
move ahead. They’re moving at
their own pace, and people give
them the tools to be successful,
and they feel that, but how they
choose to get from point A to B
is up to them. When they finally
reach Eagle, they realize how
rare that is, and the commitment
is really long working toward
that.” Arego says that each of
her sons is unique, and that there
was something in scouting for
each of them. “They also have
some great memories of scouting
adventures, and they can really
appreciate nature. The skills
will stay with them for a lifetime.”
Ryan Arego was the first of
the three brothers to attain Eagle.
These days, he works as a Legislative
Aide to Rep. Jeff Roy, but
back at 17, he focused his attention
at giving back to the American
Legion in town.
“We used to have Boy Scouts
at the American Legion on Cottage
Street,” says Ryan. “They
were always so good to us. Another
scout redid the tank they
had there and did landscaping,
and there was a side yard, parallel
to the building. I decided to
make a bocce court for the members
of the Legion or Boy Scouts
to use for activities.”
Ryan who joined Cub Scouts
in second grade, says that he enjoyed
some amazing trips and
experiences with the Scouts. “By
the time you get to Boy Scouts,
there are the older scouts you
look up to. They’re getting Eagle.
I loved scouting, I loved doing the
outdoor thing, so it made sense
to see it to the end. Everyone did
