Jacob B.
Wooster | Troop 4065

Devin C.
Wooster | Troop 4061
Project Beneficiary: Westminster Presbyterian Church
Devin's project was monarch butterfly pollinator garden. For this project, he landscaped the area, planting plants such as butterfly weed, lambs ear, and other flowers, building along with the garden (which will be constructing steps and a waterfall) and a chalkboard as requested by the pastor.
Michael E.
Wooster | Troop 4063
Project Beneficiary: Secrest Arboretum
For Michael's project he installed new laser-engraved display labels and signage that inform the visitors of the nature around them at the Secrest Arboretum visitation center. He and his fellow volunteers will use the Arboretum's database to identify a minimum of 50 plants and then laser-engrave the information on to signs and install them around the visitation center.
Samuel F.
Wooster | Troop 4063
Project Beneficiary: St Mary of the Immaculate Conception Church
Samuel created a meditation area for St Mary Church. It consists of one concrete or stone bench with various religious tiles attached, along with a grotto to house a St Dymphna Icon and a few signs printed with religious prayers and meditations. The focus of this meditation area is around St Dymphna who is the Patroness Saint of those suffering nervous and mental afflictions as well as victims of incest. Since Samuel obtained a diagnosis of Epilepsy on February 7th of 2020, mental and neurological suffering of mankind is very close to him. He wanted to create a place for anyone to go to escape, for a momentary time, what is bothering them or others.
Connor H.
Wooster | Troop 4061
Project Beneficiary: West Minster Presbyterian Church
Connor's project was painting the inner sanctuary of the West Minster Presbyterian Church in Wooster Ohio. This included the walls, doors, and pipes that weren't wood. A scissor lift was rented for the project and was fully paid for by Mr. David Noble. Most of the painting supplies were donated by Wooster Brush. The project was inspired by a vision that the sanctuary was an ugly color "Bright Yellow". The repainting brought new life to the the place in time for Spring. The project benefited both church members and others who are chartered by the Church.
Rebekah L.
Wooster | Troop 4068
Project Beneficiary: Wooster Church of the Cross
Rebekah's project named Phoenix Project was to rebuild an old amphitheater/chapel at Church of the Cross in Wooster Ohio. It was a 30 year old Eagle project that fell in disrepair. She had to demolish the old project including removing old rotten wooden 12' benches, removing tons of old debris and treating area for ants. There was several tons of pea gravel that was removed and repurposed in the pine tree area.
She met with a civil engineer and designed and constructed 10 12' composite benches and 2 8' composite benches with backs.
She had to re-dig brick pathway and extend it to 40 feet long and 40 wide. She recycled most of the old bricks and added 300 more to make a nice design. It is wheelchair friendly now. She also added a wheelchair pad in the back row. It was several tons of crushed limestone, several tons of sand and several bags of brick joint lock sand. She re-dug and leveled rows and dug 37 holes through roots and rocks to be able to drop concrete tubes to do the concrete footings correctly. She asked a tree expert to help prevent damage to the older tree. She had a pumper truck pump the concrete tubes and once cured she used Simpson metal footings to ensure the bench legs would not rot and be no maintenance.
She re-framed bench area and used over 6 tons of limestone and used mesh to prevent weeds to keep it low maintenance.
She added two 75 pound concrete gardening planters to help with landscaping as well. Lastly, she constructed a 6*6*12' cross and cemented behind podium to make it an official chapel. This project took over 1000 documented work hours and cost under $4400. It would of been almost $20,000 but a scout is thrifty and was able to get items at cost or donated. Rebekah would like to thank those who worked in rain, mud and into the night to accomplish this project. Those who donated their time, treasure and talent to accomplish this daunting task.
Glenn M.
Wooster | Troop 4063
Project Beneficiary: Wooster High School
Glenn created a digital map of the Wooster High School Arboretum that is accessible through a Google website. Prior to the website's creation, the school used a paper, hand drawn map created in 1997. Thanks to Glenn’s innovative project, the website provides a feature to search by donor name, type of tree, and coordinates to locate via a mobile phone.
Hayden M.
Wooster | Troop 4065
Project Beneficiary: Wooster Memorial Park
Hayden built and installed wooden walkways in Wooster Memorial park. The park consists of 320 acres of pristine woodlands for hiking. There are over six miles of primitive trails, scenic overlooks, the Rathburn Run, picnic pavilions and public restrooms. The walkways were placed above muddy sections of trails making them easier to use, improving accessibility and reducing erosion.
James P.
Shreve | Troop 4358
Project Beneficiary: Village of Millersburg
James built a small pavilion in the Deer Run Park near the skate park. This area will allow skaters to take a break and cool off under the shade.
Ethan R.
Wooster | Troop 4071
Project Beneficiary: Wooster Fire Department
In January 2020, Ethan experienced cardiac arrest in his home on a snowy day where the majority of Wooster was shut down due to the snow storm. If not for the combined help of Wooster City Services, ODOT District 3, and Station 2 Ethan most likely would not be here today. Ethan was shocked 4 times by EMTs at home before being transported to the ER. Due to the storm, Life Flight was grounded, so ODOT coordinated with the neighboring district to snow plow us to Akron Children's. Ethan wanted to give back to the people that saved his life. He made benches engraved with the words BE PREPARED on them, because had everyone not been prepared to go above and beyond he would not be here today.

Apple Creek | Troop 4922
Project Beneficiary: Apple Creek Historical Society
Jacob planted 10 trees and placed 5 poly board benches for trail near Apple Creek Historical Society.
Ian W.
Wooster | Troop 4063
Project Beneficiary: Wooster High School
Ian restored the Peggy Jo Carter Nature Trail located behind Wooster High School. The trail was in dire need of upkeep since its original construction in 1997. He added a layer of dirt to parts of the trail where large roots pose a tripping hazard. After that he added a layer of mulch on top of the dirt to provide stability and ultimately improve the aesthetics of the trail. In doing this, he trimmed overgrown vegetation revealing the original six feet wide trail and painted the two sign posts located at each end of the trail.
