An aspiring Eagle Scout, Quentin Bloome leads a community project to help parents safeguard their children. He’s creating safety packets filled with essential details like fingerprints and birthmarks, vital for swift action in case a child goes missing. The initiative aims to streamline police investigations by providing crucial information quickly. Available for children up to 18 years old, the project fulfills part of Quentin’s Eagle Scout requirements and is also a personal mission to raise awareness about child safety. Quentin urges parents to seek assistance, even beyond his Scout duties. Quentin is part of Troop 180 in Kewanee, and his Troop Leader, Adam Sovanski, has been a huge help in getting his initiative off the ground so quickly. Quentin intends to use his 10 years in the Boy Scouts when he enlists with the Marines after he graduates from Kewanee High School. Attaining the Eagle Scout rank will allow Quentin to be an E-3 (three stripes) after basic training. Quentin has until April 23, 2025, to complete his project. Listen to Quentin Bloome on air on Tuesday, April 15th, during the 8:25 AM interview segment on 102.1 FM and 1450 AM. Quentin held an event on Saturday at the Kewanee United Methodist Church and helped 12 families complete missing child packets. Quentin hopes to raise awareness of the importance of these packets to aid the police should your child go missing.
