Eagle Scout Project Provides A Place To Kindle Friendships

Ethan Herr recently aged out of Reamstown Scout Troop 60, but not before he completed his Eagle Scout project marking the culmination of his time in scouting. Ethan has been involved in the Reamstown pack since fourth grade, and looks back fondly on lessons learned and friendships made over the years. Ethan spent a few months planning the project, designing and then completing a fire pit and seating area at his church, which is Stumptown Mennonite. He decided on this project because it will benefit young and old alike, providing a safe, warm gathering spot for youth groups and families to gather and enjoy a warm fire on chilly nights. Ethan decided on crosses and pine trees for the fire pit cutouts, and he bought and painted the seats surrounding it. The fire pit has a lava rock base and the ring is anchored to the ground for safety. The church and community are grateful for his efforts.
