“I love scouting because of all of the experiences I was able to have. Through scouting, I have been able to visit new places I have never thought of going to and most importantly I built bonds with scouts from across the world.  Camping, knotting, rappelling, leather work, rock wall climbing, swimming in a waterfall, completing a 20-mile hike and learning about our society from a smaller community scale to a larger global level are just some of my experiences.”

My Eagle Project:

I choose to build two benches along with a railing to provide additional protect for patrons that use the park. I worked with Cheesequake Superintendent John Luk who offered me to build the benches and railing. This would not only help the park, but it would also protect the protected wildlife around the area. Many people would jump into the marsh and destroy the land, so it was a great feeling to help both people and animals alike.

I hope everyone will enjoy the structure for many years to come as I will. 

Yours In Scouting
