Random Rippling - Joseph Ricks Achieves Rank of Eagle Scout
posted: May 13, 2016

Joseph Ricks, 17, has received Scouting's highest rank of Eagle Scout. Ricks, a member of Troop 174, is a junior at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School and has been involved in Scouting for five years. Ricks achieved the Eagle rank after demonstrating leadership as patrol leader, troop guide and den chief before completing his Eagle project.
Only 4 percent of Scouting's national membership attains the rank of Eagle.
For his Eagle Scout Service Project, Ricks built a split rail fence along a trail at Marott Park. The park, located at 7530 N. College Avenue, now has better safeguards for visitors as they walk along the park's ravine.
There were 52 volunteers who dedicated their service to assist Ricks in completing his service project between November and December of 2015.
