Mr. Ware, left a legacy through the Scholarship Fund to benefit Scouts in the hopes of encouraging future Eagle Scouts to continue their involvement and leadership in the Scouting program and their community. These six Eagle Scouts completed Eagle Scout service projects for their community that attribute thousands of volunteer hours given to Scioto County. “We are confident that they will each continue to give back to their community and to Scouting what has been given to them,” said Josh Howard, chairman of the scholarship committee,
