JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – 14 year-old Zach Hanson can now add Eagle Scout service project to his list of accomplishments with Boy Scout Troop 163.

The project is one of the final pieces of accomplishing the highest honor in scouting. A scout must demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of their community.

Hanson says he approached the Two Rivers Activity Center (TRAC) to find a worthy project.

Now, the TRAC Learning Center has a small jungle gym of repurposed rubber tires as another option for outdoor activities.

Hanson says to get to the project, he first needed to rank up and complete a required about of merit badges, camping nights, and other challenges.

He says the project challenged him to find a project, organize the labor and manpower, collect materials needed, and execute the plan.

While the biggest part of the project may be complete, he says there are a few more steps before he attains the highest honor for a scout.

Hanson added he was grateful for his troop, leadership, and family for helping with the project. He thanked TRAC, some businesses and organizations for helping out too.
