Joseph Meluso of West Caldwell has earned the rank of Eagle Scout and the Bronze Eagle Palm. After passing his Eagle Scout Board of Review on Oct. 24, 2012, Meluso, a member of Boy Scout Troop 6, Caldwell, decided to work toward an additional award, an Eagle Palm, which he was awarded last week.

Caldwell got a little more beautiful this summer thanks to the work of one 16-year-old Eagle Scout candidate.

Boy Scout to landscape island in Provost Square.

Troop 6 Boy Scout Colin Corliss came before the mayor and council Tuesday to present his idea to spiff up the island outside the parking deck in Provost Square. The Caldwell Public Library's return boxes were recently moved to the island and Corliss said his plan to build a cement platform will make it easier for the public as well as librarians to access the boxes.
