Boy Scouts from Troop 408 in Escanaba help place wheelchair accessible mats at the Gladstone beach recently. The mats were part of of Joey Gavlek’s Eagle Scout project, where he had to complete a community service project. As part of the project, Gavlek invited his fellow scouts to help him place the 150-foot-long, by 4-foot-wide mats at the beach. Gavlek, shown in front, has been in the Boy Scouts for six years.
