01 / THE PROJECT
Caring for those
who care for
the animals.
A shady spot. A muddy problem.
A practical way to help.
After rain, the rescue’s existing shaded area becomes muddy and difficult to use. My project will turn this approximately 30-by-30-foot space into a gravel rest area with a timber border and two picnic bench kits—a place for staff to enjoy lunch and train new workers and volunteers.

MEET THE SCOUT BEHIND THE PROJECT
It was always
going to be
about dogs.
Dog Care was my very first merit badge.
I have three dogs at home, and one more who will always have a place in my heart—in puppy heaven. Dogs have always been part of my life. When it came time to choose my Eagle Scout project, I knew I wanted to help them.
I’ve volunteered at other Eagle projects at Tri County Animal Rescue over the years. Now it’s my turn to lead a project that gives back to the rescue and the people who care for its animals.
⚜ Service⚜ Leadership⚜ Kindness
With guidance from my Eagle Scout coach, Kirk Milner, and the support of Troop 323, I’m turning a lifelong love of dogs into something lasting.
