MEDINA – Three scouts in Troop 35 in Medina are doing service projects as part of their quest to earn scouting’s highest rank of Eagle.

Colton Smith, a Lyndonville senior, is shown with his project as part of being an Eagle Scout. The project included removing a rotted out shed and building new scoring shed for Lyndonville varsity baseball field.

Lyndonville Central School is the community sponsor for the project.

Jimmy Dieter, a senior at Medina, construct a batting cage area for local youth baseball at Butts Park in Medina. The Village Of Medina and Medina LOYAL Baseball served as community sponsor for the project.

Maddox Smith, a Lyndonville freshman, is shown with picnic tables that are available for community use at Lyndonville Central School. The school district served as the community sponsor for the project.

Each one of these scouts had to complete a leadership-based Eagle Scout service project.  The process involved selecting a project that would benefit their local community, said John Dieter, scoutmaster for Troop 35.

They need backing from their Troop leadership, community organization, and their local scout council.

While they still have some remaining items to do towards their Eagle rank, they are close to the finish line, Dieter said.

Colton Smith has his Eagle Board of Review on Sept. 11 at Great Falls Council.  Jimmy Dieter will most likely have his Eagle Board of Review by November 2025, and Maddox Smith will have his sometime in 2026.
