Josh Johnston, elected 2016 chief of the Boy Scouts of America’s Order of the Arrow Wapashuwi Lodge 56, said he’s excited and looking forward to the year ahead.

Johnston, 17, of Southington, has been involved in scouting since 2004 and is working toward becoming an Eagle Scout. He has completed his Eagle Scout project, which was working to improve Maltby Cemetery, a family cemetery at County Line-Turnpike and Stroups-Hickox roads.

Interviewed during Saturday’s Wapashuwi Lodge 56 2016 annual winter banquet at Sorrento’s Banquet Hall here, Johnston, a senior at Chalker High School in Southington, said he’s humbled to have been chosen chief.

He and others were installed into office Saturday.
