school as a All-American Scholar. He plans to enter college in the fall. Rusty joined Cub Scout Pack 241 of North Liberty in 1986. After earning the Arrow of Light, he joined Boy Scout Troop 241 in 1989. As a Boy Scout, he completed the Brownsea Adventure Junior Leader Training, served as troop historian, scribe, patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader and was elected senior patrol leader for five years. He has earned 29 merit badges and is a Brotherhood member of the order of the Arrow. After several months of planning, Rusty’s Eagle Service Project took light. He directed others assisting him and aided in the removal of eight ton of rock, many shrubs, old cement, hedges and fencing from the main entrance of the North Liberty United Methodist Church. With the help of others, he newly landscaped this 2,350 square foot area with new dirt, grass, bushes, plants, mulch, trees, sidewalks, a new street lamp and bench. His project involved drawing up landscape plans, meetings with church advisors, price shopping for and purchasing of new materials, securing workers and donations, arranging schedules, hauling and delivering dirt, rock and mulch, ordering and pouring new concrete. The project took approximately 600 service hours. Boy Scout Troop 241 is sponsored by the North Liberty United Methodist Church and lead by Scout Master Alan DeGroff.
