<h3>Cleveland Browns' Matt Stover to speak at Eagle Scout Recognition 
Ceremony</h3> CLEVELAND, OH -- On February 13, 1994, the Eagle Scout 
Association of Greater Cleveland and the NASA Lewis Research Center 
will join together in honoring the 99 young men from the Greater 
Cleveland area who earned their Eagle Scout Badges in 1993. The 
program will be held in the DEB Auditorium at NASA beginning at 2 
p.m.

Lewis, a long-time supporter of the Boy Scout program, presently 
sponsors Explorer Post 629 which focuses on space-related subjects.

This year's Recognition Ceremony speaker is Matt Stover who just 
completed his third year as place kicker for the Cleveland Browns. 
During his time with the Browns, he has led the Browns in scoring, 
has been a Special Teams player of the week and has been an integral 
part of the Browns' offense. Stover was named Humanitarian of the 
Year by the Cleveland Touchdown Club in 1992.

For each of the 99 young men, receiving the Eagle Scout Badge 
represents years of work. To become an Eagle Scout, a young man must 
progress through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, 
Star and Life before attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. He must earn 
at least 21 merit badges, 10 of which are required and cover such 
subjects as First Aid, Safety, Camping, Citizenship, Environmental 
Science, Emergency Preparedness for Lifesaving and responsibility in 
his troop.

Finally, he must plan, develop and give leadership to others in 
carrying out a service project helpful to his community, school or 
church. These requirements must be completed before his 18th 
birthday. Only about 2% of the boys in Scouting attain rank of Eagle 
Scout.
