Eagle Scout Recognized by School Board! Members of the Clark-Pleasant School Board recognized WCHS student, Logan Bast, Tuesday, for his Eagle Scout Project which benefits the school district. Logan, recently completed his project working with CPCSC Operations Director, Sam Arnes, who introduced him at the board meeting. The project was completed in the 8-acre wooded area between Sawmill Woods and Break-O-Day Elementary. Logan's troop and volunteers helped clear the trails by cutting and moving fallen trees and clearing overgrowth to create wider paths. Signs were also made to help identify some of the tree species found in the nature area. The classroom environment consisted of constructing new picnic style tables and benches all built by Logan’s troop, BSA Troop #615.
