Boy Scout Sits in on Common Council Meeting

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or did your local soccer team take the championship? They may be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

Each week, Port Washington-Saukville Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments.

We want to hear about these amazing children and teens, and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid.  Submit your nomination in our comment box below or e-mail the information to Editor Lyssa Beyer.

This week's Whiz Kid is Seth Patterson.

Whiz Kid’s Name: Seth Patterson
Age: 13
School:  Thomas Jefferson Middle School
Accomplishments: As a boy scout, Seth has plenty of badges to earn, including the Citizen in the Community Merit Badge. To pursue the badge, Seth attended a recent Port Washington Common Council meeting, and stuck it out for the whole event. During the meeting, the scouts take notes about the discussion about the meeting; the goal is to teach the kids how to see what was going on in the city.
Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: Curiousity.
