Eagle Court of Honor scheduled for Sunday
-----------------------------------------

The highest award from the Boy Scouts of America -- the rank of
Eagle Scout -- will be awarded Sunday to a Chippewa Falls boy.

Benjamin John Arneberg will receive the Eagle Award in a Court of
Honor ceremony at 2:00 p.m. Sunday at Chippewa Valley Bible
Church, 531 E. South Ave., Chippewa Falls. The public is invited.
This marks the first time any Scout from Troop 72 has earned this 
honor.

Arneberg, son of Tom and Beth Arneberg, is a Junior at Chi-Hi,
where he plays tennis and basketball, and is a trumpet player in
the Marching Cardinals. He is also involved in his church youth
group, and works part time at the Rutledge Home.

Ben has served in the positions of Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior
Patrol Leader, and is currently Senior Patrol Leader of the troop.
He has led the troop in six camping adventures since May, including 
two backpack trips, a canoe trip, and a bicycle trip.

For his Eagle project, Ben spearheaded a team of workers who
blazed a new one-mile section of the Ice Age Trail near Cornell in
May 2005, working under the direction of Richard Smith, Director
of the Ice Age Park and Trail foundation.
