My Summer

     One interesting thing that I did this summer was I conducted my Eagle Scout project. The project was fun even though I had a hard time performing it. I learned many things from the project while I performed it.

     And Eagle Scout is a person that has devoted their life to scouting. It is the highest rank possible, and is the hardest rank to earn in scouting. Some of the tasks required to become an Eagle Scout are earning 21 merit badges, performing 12 months of leadership roles, conducting an Eagle Scout project, and being a long-term devoted member. I am proud to say that in a few days, I can call myself an Eagle Scout.

     The point of an Eagle Scout project is to teach a Boy Scout the points of leadership, management, fundraising, multi-tasking, responsibility, and many other important aspects. The Eagle Scout project is only conducted once in a scout's life, and the project teaches them some very important lessons. The project must be executed between when a scout earns the Life Rank, and his 18th birthday. An Eagle Scout project can be anything, although it must be helpful to the community in some way.

      My Eagle Scout project took place at Northwood Middle School, and contained many aspects that were performed and completed. Some of those aspects included repainting the walls, fixing broken instrument lockers, cleaning chalk and white boards, and a few other minor parts. I had 17 different helpers within the 12 days the project took place. In total, there were around 592 hours of service, with 129 of those hours conducted by me.
