The coveted rank of Eagle Scout was obtained yesterday as Ryleigh Plovanic finished up his Eagle Scout project by rejuvenating the Dillon Beaver signs you see as you come into town.
Ryleigh placed signs on each entrance of town that have the Welcome to Dillon Home of the Beavers. The new signs include the years the Beavers have claimed state titles in sports and other activities.
Ryleigh raised the funds for these signs by hosting a bingo night and silent auction at the Elks lodge. Big Time Sportswear and Design helped contribute to the design of the sign and sold the materials at their cost. The Beaver Booster Club also contributed to the sign.
Another feature of the new signs is that they have space for future state titles, and as Ryleigh said it would be nice to place this year’s title on the sign for Beaver Football.
Ryleigh is a senior. He's a lineman on the football team, throws disc in track and is also the president of the Beaverhead FFA chapter. He works at Papa Ts and 2H outdoors outfitting. He was the youth course director of this year's National Youth Leadership Training course for scouts.
We are excited for Ryleigh and cannot wait to hear about his future endeavors.
