Foster children in Shawano and Oconto counties will benefit from the efforts of a young man in Oconto Falls working to earn his Eagle Scout designation.
Connor Pliss, who just turned 18, delivered over 250 backpacks to the two counties, as well as the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, in February. Pliss lived in northern Wisconsin, specifically Ashland County, most of his life but moved to Oconto Falls last year. He started gathering up the backpacks in October 2022 and filled them with essentials like notebooks, pencils, pens, hygiene products and even a stuffed animal.
