Kolby Minnich is a Boy Scout in the Pine Grove Troop 611. Kolby is currently working on his Eagle Scout Project to officially become the highest rank a scout can receive, which is Eagle Scout. Kolby is working on a pickle ball court at the Oak Grove Township park in Pine Grove.
“A bunch of people in our area want to play pickleball, but there is nowhere to play,” says Minnich.
Pickleball is a sport similar to tennis that has been on the uprise since 2020. The sport is played by all ages and is a good way to get exercise and have fun in the meantime. You can play pickleball as a solo or in a duo, either as same gender or opposite gender. Kolby wants to help every person to have the chance to enjoy pickleball by bringing it local.
Minnich joined Cub Scouts at a young age, and has worked his way into Boy Scouts. He has worked through all of his ranks to reach the ultimate goal of Eagle Scout.
“I wanted to achieve the Eagle Scout rank because it can go on my application and resume,” says Minnich.
