LOCAL SCOUTS COMPLETE COMMUNITY-MINDED PROJECTS IN VILLAGE
Over the past many years, our community has been the beneficiary of multiple projects completed by young men as part of their journey towards becoming an Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable as part of the Boy Scouts of America program. In order to earn this status, youth must earn multiple merit badges, and demonstrate good character, service, and leadership. Scouts must demonstrate these qualities through the planning, organization, leadership and management of a community service project.
Images in the August Village Newsletter (article available by clicking "View PDF" below) show four recent community service projects completed in Pleasant Prairie by young men working towards the rank of Eagle Scout. These young men collaborated with Pleasant Prairie’s Public Works Department in order to identify project ideas and to obtain necessary approvals and/or advice.
The top image shows a shelter constructed by Ben Borchardt along the Prairie Farms Trail (between Prairie Springs Park and County Highway C) during 2014. The second image at left shows a handicap accessible fishing pier constructed by Brian Newberry inside Ingram Park (the pond is filling naturally with storm water and will be stocked once it reaches an adequate depth). The third image shows a shelter constructed by Tim Nolder at Pleasant Prairie’s new dog park inside Ingram Park. The fourth image shows one of multiple benches constructed by Dominic Gemignani inside Ingram Park. The benches honor U.S. veterans from each branch of service.
The Village would like to thank these young men and congratulate them on the amount and the quality of work they put into these community-minded service projects. The Village also wishes to thank and congratulate all Eagle Scouts from prior years who have completed projects throughout the community.
Three additional young men are beginning work on Eagle Scout Projects in the Village. Zach Raetzman plans to build a shelter at the opposite end of the Prairie Farms Trail; Dante Bonaretti plans to build an additional shelter inside the dog park at Ingram Park; and Kevin Koesser plans to install mile marker signs and build trail head signage on the north side of the Prairie Farms Trail. The Village wishes these young men the best in their pursuits.
