This Saturday, July 11, 2015, and perhaps Sunday, July 12, 2015, local Eagle Scout Dylan Stupak and Boy Scout members of Troop 1013 will be installing two benches and a picnic table at Rotary Park at the base of Casper Mountain.
The benches and picnic table were funded via a matching grant to the Rotary Club of Casper from Rotary District 5440.
What the Boy Scouts have done for Rotary Park is impressive. According to Bill Schilling, Rotary Park Committee Chair, “Dylan will be leading Rotary Park’s third Boy Scout Eagle Scout project. There was one in 2013 to dig holes and place support structures for nearly sixty posts leading from the new bridge up a new 800 yard trail. In 2014 an Eagle Scout project involved installing two benches—one on the east side and one on the west side of the Bridle Trail.”
The Rotary District Grant for the two benches and the picnic table compliments the comprehensive Rotary Park Master Plan, approved by both Natrona County and the Rotary Club of Casper in 2014. One bench will be placed at the base of “cardiac arrest” hill; the other bench with the picnic table will be placed alongside an open/flat area above Garden Creek Falls along the 800 yard trail leading to the Bridle Trail cut-off.
The Casper Rotary Club is one of 34,000 clubs with more than 1.2 million members worldwide.
