Daniel Deane is a busy young man. As is the case with any 15-year-old, Deane works hard to balance school and extra curricular activities as well as his social and home life. But for the past year the Regis Jesuit High School sophomore in Denver has had something else that’s occupied a majority of his time: making a movie.
Deane, the son of Dan and Cathy Deane, is a member of Boy Scout Troop 361. The film he made was part of a project he undertook to receive his Eagle badge. Eagle Scout is the highest rank one can earn in the Boy Scouts of America program.
All Scouts have to come up with their own Eagle projects, generally something that will serve the community. Deane decided to create a training video to instruct new altar servers at his home parish of St. Mary’s in Littleton.
“I’ve been making movies since I was in the fifth grade,” he said. “So when I began to consider what I could do for my Eagle project, it seemed like a good idea.”
