Taylor Groskopf of Wauwatosa recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

Taylor, 18, is a senior at Wauwatosa East High School. He is the son of Karen and Bill Groskopf.

For his Eagle Scout project, Taylor planned, organized and led a group of high school musicians in performing a jazz concert at the Lutheran Home, 7500 W.

About 65 residents and staff members attended the concert.

In addition to being a member of Boy Scout Troop 21, Taylor is on the Wauwatosa East High School varsity swim team, in the marching band and the wind ensemble.
