Troop 159 recognized three new Eagle Scouts at a special Court of Honor held at Trinity Lutheran Church, in Lindstrom, December 29. As one of the requirements to earn an Eagle Award, each of these young men led a service project in the community. The three projects include.

  • Kaiden Beaupre completed his Eagle Project in May 2024, replacing a walking bridge in Anderson Peninsula. His project included removing the old bridge and  constructing the new one. Kaiden would like to thank his sponsors, Lindstrom Park Board, Chisago City and Lindstrom Fire Depts., Chisago Lakes Rotary, Chisago Lakes Lions Club, and Bill Mack for use of his trailer; his volunteers from Troop 159; and his friends and family.

 • Riley Solberg completed his Eagle Project in the Fall of 2023, renovating the garden at the Chisago Lakes Middle School. Riley's project included removing the old fence around the garden and then installing and staining a new one. He guided a team in removing overgrown plants and weeds, adding new mulch throughout the garden. Riley would like to thank his sponsors: Chisago Lakes Rotary, Lindstrom Hardware, Forest Lake Sherwin Williams, and The Haskell Company of St. Paul. A special thanks to Pat Collins for his mentorship.

 • Anden Solberg completed his Eagle Project in December of 2024, placing a box at the Chisago Lakes Library to collect tattered flags for proper retirement. The box will be monitored by the Chisago Lakes American Legion and is available to the public during regular library hours. Anden would like to thank the Chisago Lakes American Legion Post 272 for their support.
