BOY SCOUTS Chase Tobey, left, and Scan Childers join Karl Oleson in a park-improvement project. Oleson's Eagle project enhances Potlatch park Potlatch State Park's entrance recently underwent a fhcelift. A brand-new sign greets guests, along with an American flag fly- ing from a new pole, surrounded by freshly landscaped foliage and trees. This replaces the old, faded, rotting sign from before. Karl Oleson of Hoodsport has enjoyed spending time at the park with friends and family for years, so he decided to supervise a proj- ect to improve the park's entrance in order to fulfill one of the crite- ria for a Boy Scout to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. "For years I've been going to Potlatch State Park with my fam- ily and I thought it would be a nice thing to do to give something back to the park," he explains. Karl, a 16-year-old going into his junior year at Shelton High School, has been a scout for about 11 years and belongs to Boy Scout Troop 110. Karl had been working on this project concept since 2005, but didn't break ground on it un- til the spring of 2007. Under his direction, his team of volunteers, consisting of fellow scouts, friends and family completed their project on May 27. Park rangers Darrela Standfill and Shuan Gerleman assisted. Even though the installation is officially done, Karl and his group are still providing maintenance and watering over the summer. Local organizations, including Skookum Rotary, the Shelton Nimrod Club and Sons of the American Legion, sponsored this project through donations. Working on this project taught Karl about leadership, including how to organize work parties and oversee assignments, he said. Scoutmaster Paul Stone leads Troop 110, which meets regu- larly at 7 p.m. on Tuesday nights at the United Methodist Church of Shelton. In the last five years, Karl has served as librarian, pa- trol leader, assistant senior pa- trol leader, senior patrol leader and bugler for his troop. So far, a date hasn't been set for Karl's Eagle ceremony. He is the son of' Alma and Dr. Brian Oleson of Hoodsport. Besides scouting, Karl also plays soccer and performs in band.
