Troop 267 Honors another Eagle Scout
On August 21, 1917, Arthur R. Eldred
of Oceanside, New York became this nation’s
first to earn the Eagle Scout award,
the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve.
Like today’s Eagle Scouts, Arthur earned
21required merit badges including Civics,
Cooking, Cycling, Electricity, Firemanship,
First Aid to Animals, Gardening, Handicraft,
Horsemanship, Interpreting of French, Life
Saving, Painting, Pathfinding, Personal Health,
Poultry Farming, Public Health, Swimming,
Chemistry, Dairying, Business, and Plumbing.
El Segundo has had a number of scouts
earn the rank of Eagle. Thomas (Tommy)
Harrison Piibe became the 68th Boy Scout
from Troop 267 to earn the rank of Eagle.
Tommy earned a total of 37 merit badges
including the required 13 for Eagle. Tommy’s
achievement is something to be proud of
having earned Eagle required Citizenship
of the Community, Citizen of the Nation,
Citizen of the World, Camping, Cooking,
Environmental Science, First Aid, Lifesaving,
Personal Fitness, Personal Management and
Swimming merit badges.
When you think that only four percent of
any boy joining Boy Scouts achieve the rank
of Eagle you can appreciate the dedication that
Tommy took on. Congratulations Thomas H.
Piibe your future looks bright and remember,
“Once and Eagle always an Eagle.”

City Supports LAAFB Family Housing
The City of El Segundo and Los Angeles
Air Force Base (LAAFB) are developing a
campaign to increase awareness and to encourage
El Segundo property owners to offer
service members reasonable rental rates along
with other benefits such as waiving security
deposits and application fees, and offering
rates in line with military members’ basic
allowance for housing (BAH). Landlords also
would include language in rental agreements
allowing personnel to terminate leases early
if they are issued orders to deploy, separate
or relocate.
The rise in the housing costs in the Greater
Los Angeles area over recent years has made
it difficult for military members and their
families to find attainable housing and rental
options that meet their needs. This includes
finding housing that is within the military
member’s allotted BAH, as well as having
to cover security deposits. To empower and
enable the men and women of the LAAFB,
the City of El Segundo and LAAFB have
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU). It establishes the LAAFB Housing
Partnership Program that offers military
members transitioning to LAAFB a list
of participating apartment/housing leasing
managers who provide financial relief for
housing costs and fees to military members.
Those interested in participating in the
program may contact Micki Tagle at Mtagle@
elsegundo.org, or calling 310-524-2303.
