Jack Rigoni Completes His Eagle Scout Project With Special Bike Station At Edwardsville Township Park
EDWARDSVILLE - Jack Rigoni, the son of Christin and Alex Rigoni of Edwardsville, recently delivered an Eagle Scout project to Edwardsville Township that will have a lasting impact. Jack constructed a concrete pad and built a bicycle repair station that is visible to bike riders. Jack’s idea came to him about four years ago when he was riding bikes at his grandparent's home in Staunton and saw a very similar project right next to the bike trail. “I thought this would be a good idea even to this day,” he said. “I finally got to the point where I wanted to do the project. The Township people and Eagle Scout Board Members were all very supportive.” The 15-year-old new Eagle Scout said he feels extremely honored to earn the new status in Scouts. “It is a huge accomplishment, and the good thing is it benefits the community," he said. At least 21 merit badges are required to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. Of those 21 badges, 14 must come from a list
