A motion was made at the Franklin Township Supervisors meeting to approve Zachary Wilusz’ Eagle Scout Project.

The project will be to improve the seating and add a “Nature Viewing Area” at Phifer’s Ice Dam, Franklin Township.

Wilusz is a member of Lehighton Boy Scout Troop 187.

Scouting is in the Wilusz family. Zachary’s brother, Daniel, also became an Eagle Scout in July 2020.

His project was to build a lending library at Phifer’s Ice Dam.

Becoming an Eagle Scout is the highest honor in the Scouting program, involving a strong dedication to the organization and the completion of a service project to benefit the community.
