South Shores teachers learn to play Gaga Ball from Eagle Scout Scott Mullinix. Scott built the pit as his Eagle Scout project. Valerie Wells
DECATUR â A new gaga ball pit at South Shores School is dedicated to the memory of Ryan Mullinix, who died in 2016 at the age of 22.
Ryan was an Eagle Scout and his brother, Scott, built the gaga ball pit as his own Eagle Scout project. Because the Eagle Project must be a service to the community, Scott wanted to place it in a park or at a school for children to enjoy, and chose South Shores School because both Scott and Ryan attended there.
