2008 winners
are Anastasia C. Markiw, of Pittsburgh, PA and the runner-up Samuel C. Ely 
of
Merrillville, IN. who received $1,000 and $500 respectively.

The eligibility requirements for these awards are: be a registered active 
member of a Boy
or Girl Scout unit, have earned the Eagle Scout Award for boys or the Gold 
Award for
girls, be an active member of an Eastern Orthodox Church, have earned the
