No arrests have been made after a monument honoring the life of a North Central Iowa Boy Scout was vandalized over the weekend.

Law Enforcement officials in Wright County say vandals were responsible for spray-painting swastikas and various racial slurs on a monument honoring an Eagle Grove Boy Scout late Sunday night and early Monday morning.

Eagle Grove Police made the discovery while on patrol at a city park. The monument honors the memory of Aaron Eilerts, the scout who was killed in a tornado along with three others at the Little Sioux Scout Ranch in June of 2008.

The vandals also spray painted a portable toilet and a building at the park.
