EAGLE SCOUT PROPOSAL 31 32 Eric Peterson, resident of St. Anthony and member of Life Scout Troop 153, stated he is on the path to 33 making the Eagle Scout ranking. He needs to do a service project to attain that ranking. He proposed to 34 set up several routes for runners and walkers on existing pathways in Central Park. He said he would set 35 up a one -mile route, a half -mile route and an alternative route. He would also like to set up a section for 36 sprinters with 40, 50 and 100 yard marks. He noted the runners used to use the football track. In re - 37 seeding for the football season, the track was closed. Runners are running on the streets. If his plan is 38 approved, the runners will know how much they are running and have the measurement markers. He 39 said the Boy Scouts could use it as well. He said hopefully, everyone will be able to enjoy this project. 40 41 Mr. Peterson displayed his plan. The starting point would be the pavilion. The half mile route would 42 circle around the main area of the park. The alternate mile route would go around the entire park. A 43 section would be marked off for sprinters. Maps for these routes would be placed at entrances to the 44 park. A runner could enter in at any major entrance, and run in a loop. This plan would be in motion in 45 early spring. He stated that paint would be used similar to that used on the roads. l._ He concluded that by completing this project, he will show leadership to the troops. He said it would 48 hopefully be complete by summer.
