At a Court of Honor ceremony held Saturday, Pella Boy Scout Troop 373 awarded the rank of Eagle Scout to Benjamin Bartels, son of Beth and Brent Bartels.
Benjamin is a freshman at Pella High School. For his Eagle Scout project, Ben and his troop built a GaGa ball pit at Caldwell Park earlier this year.

Over the weekend, fellow scout Jacob Byers led a group of volunteers in placing posts along the trails at Big Rock Park. Byers says numerous Eagle Scout projects have been completed recently, with many of the scouts collaborating.
