Reporter: Several weeks ago, one of our members of the Autism News Network, Rafal, received his Eagle Scout Award in a special ceremony. A large audience was there, including Rafal’s family and extended family. Rafal had to work extremely hard for many years in order to receive this amazing honor. Some of the tests included community service, camping in the outdoors for extended periods of time, and learning the standards of conduct for Scouts. Please join us in congratulating Rafal.
