On March 24th, 2016, Alex Powers officially earned his rank of Eagle and became an Eagle Scout with Boy Scouts of America.  Alex has been in scouting since he was in 1st grade.  His goal was always to earn his Eagle Rank and he was able to do that by the age of 15.

Alex's Eagle Project included building a support structure for a soap stone sign that was donated to the Lansing Parks and Recreation some 15 years ago.  The sign has park rules etched into it for Ludlowville Park.  The sign was very heavy and required a sturdy structure to hold it.  The structure will be painted white (to match the gazebo and other sign) once the wood has cured. The Ludlowville Inn sign was also made more appealing by painting the existing sign, making an enhancement to the sign structure, adding matching post toppers, and painting the posts white.

The signs are in place just in time for some summer concerts at Ludlowville Park.

Alex will continue in Boy Scouts until the age of 18 and he will continue to be very active in Sea Scouts located at the Coast Guard near Boatyard Grill.
