Project will provide shelter for kids waiting on the bus
(AURORA, Ind.) – A local boy scout is hoping to complete his Eagle Scout Service Project at the YES Home.
Ryan Benz is a member of the Batesville Troop 634 and he is attempting to build a bus stop for the residents of the Aurora facility.
The YES Home is a residential group home for youths ages 12-20, providing a structured, nurturing environment for abused, neglected and abandoned children.
Benz created the project to protect the youth from harsh weather while waiting on the school bus.
“With this project, the kids riding the bus to school will no longer have to wait in bad conditions, and will be able to stay dry in the shelter while they wait,” Benz said.
Benz said he is only about $1,000 short from making this project a reality. The final pieces are the concrete pad and fill dirt.

I hope you consider donating to the YES Home to support the bus stop, even a small donation will help. Thank you for helping me improve the YES home, and earning the rank of Eagle Scout,” Benz added.
