Scouts to honor George Echentile with Citizen of the Year award
NORWICH – The Baden-Powell Council of the Boy Scouts of America has announced that George Echentile is this year’s recipient of the 2011 Distinguished Citizen of the Year award for Chenango County.
Echentile, of Norwich, will be honored at a dinner to be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 12, at the Canasawacta Country Club. Selection was made for the award by a committee which includes past recipients, and is co-chaired by Dave and Mary El Emerson. Last year’s recipient was Daryl Forsythe.
This is the 26th Annual Distinguished Citizen of the Year dinner benefiting the local Scouting program. Each year the Scouts recognize local community leaders for their outstanding contribution to the betterment of the community and service to their fellow citizens.
Echentile has been a prominent member of the community for over 60 years. He is most known for being influential in the creation of an active swimming program in the Norwich area. In recognition of his accomplishments, the City of Norwich School Board honored him by dedicating the High School Pool as the NHS Echentile Pool.
