Ryan Rouse, a junior at Wetumpka High School and a member of Wetumpka Boy Scout Troop 13, has achieved Eagle rank.

For his Eagle project, Rouse and members of his troop planted four juvenile Chinese pistache trees in a strip of land adjacent to the Wetumpka Depot. Family members, friends and Wetumpka Depot supporters generously contributed funding, while area landscaper John Carter donated his time and expertise to advise and operate the heavy machinery required for this project. Â
