Eagle Scout Launches Walking Tour in Dedham Square
Tim Lesinski has planned to unveil his Eagle Project on Saturday, December 2nd in Dedham Square. Tim's project was to design and implement a historic walk, ride and kid's tour from Dedham Square through the surrounding neighborhoods.

"I was inspired by the Dedham Square Circle's '101 Projects to Improve Dedham Square'," shared Tim, "The walking tour was the kind of community-based project I was hoping to find for my Eagle Scout project."



Tim and his troop mates helped create the The Dedham Square Walking Tour and crafted maps which will be eventually available to the general public. The tour is about a mile and a half, beginning and ending in Dedham Square. The Dedham Square Bike Tour is a separate map that will be available at the Dedham Bike & Leather Shop. Tim also helped design The Dedham Square Children's Tour featuring an "Eye Spy" around Dedham with pictures of sites to be found. Answers will be at the Blue Bunny.

Peter H. Reynolds, president of The Dedham Square Circle, said, "This is a wonderful project that is yet another huge step forward in celebrating our historic square. It is a special project to me as I also earned my Eagle Scout which helped me enormously in life. I hope Tim's excellent community service project will inspire more young people to join the scouting program. It's all about moving the community forward."

Tim and his fellow scouts will be launching the tour at 2:30 p.m. starting at the Dedham Historical Society. Adults and children are welcome to join the troop for the inaugeral walk.
