Kyle Beautifies Aldo Leopold Center


On November 8, 2005 Kyle passed his Eagle Board of Review. Kyle led 27 Scouts/Parents in installing 6 Aldo Leopold benches and planting 4 trees (2 Ash and 2 Flowering Crab) in a local Dunkirk Township park. The park is located on the corner of Ash Lane and Lisa Lane in Dunkirk Township. A total of 130 hours were spent on his project. Kyle is the first to achieve Eagle Scout Rank of the 8 original Scouts who rechartered and began the new Troop 167 with Mr. Miller and Mr. Kretsch on May 1st, 2003. A generous donation was solicited from the Dunkirk Town Board as well as from members of the Dunkirk neighborhood where the park is located to finance the project. An engraved stone is located in the park with a listing of the donors and a memorial dedication to Kyle’s Grandparents. An Eagle Court of Honor was held on Sunday, August 6th, 2006 at the United Methodist Church in Stoughton in his honor to award Kyle his Eagle Scout Rank. Kyle hopes all of you will stop by the park and enjoy his project!
