Eagle Scout Builds Display Case for Lake Zurich Village Hall

Ryan Peterson coordinated a scout project for a case that displays aerial maps of Lake Zurich.

The Lake Zurich village board recognized Ryan Peterson, at the July 2 meeting, with a certificate of appreciation. Peterson built a cabinet which houses aerial maps of Lake Zurich.  Peterson built the cabinet to make changing the maps easier.

He explained that an Eagle project is the last step in scouting and he thanked he village for the opportunity.

And they are displayed with panache thanks to 17-year-old James Daleske, a Lake Zurich High School senior. To attain the status of Eagle Scout, Daleske built a wooden and glass display case for the collection as his Eagle project. Daleske, a member of St. Francis de Sales Boy Scout Troop 309, said he was aided by fellow scouts and community members in the effort.
