On January 7, 2023 Emerson completed her Eagle Project which involved building shelters for feral cats at Paw Prints Animal Rescue in Garner, NC. Emerson completed her Eagle Board of Review on June 8, 2023 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
“My project will be building feral cat feeding stations. These are made for volunteers at Paw Prints Animal Resuce to be able to feed and watch over the feral cat community in Wake County. I am planning on building 2 feeding stations. This project will benefit Paw Prints because they are a non profit organization who rely on donations from the community in order to help animals. These feeding stations allows the cats to have a safe, dry place to hide and eat as well as being a central place for the volunteers to monitor their health and safety.” Emerson S.
On February 27, 2022 Elizabeth completed her Eagle Project which consisted of building raised planting beds for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. Elizabeth completed her Eagle Board of Review on September 14, 2022 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
“For my project I will be installing new raised beds in the Blue Garden at the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. This will involve: removing trellises from the existing garden, constructing and installing raised planter beds and filling them with dirt, adding bed signs, relocating several barrels containing apple trees, removing 3 inches of dirt from the paths, adding cardboard to the paths and covering the paths with mulch. My project will be helpful because raised beds increase the yield of a garden. The clear demarkation of beds will also make it easier for individuals to identify and tend to the plants. ” – Elizabeth G.
On Oct 4, 2022 Addisyn completed her Eagle Project, which included building raised planter beds for the Lawndale Manor Nursing Home. Addisyn completed her Eagle Board of Review on May 12, 2022 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
“My goal is to create a smile on the residents living at the assisted living facility by creating a rather boring backyard, into an accessible garden with many benefits. I will achieve this by adding an extra table and seating for outdoor enjoyment of the new garden area I will be building and installing. As well as building a smaller planter for the front enterance that will sit outside a front window for their viewing pleasure. I believe this will provide the residents with visual enjoyment in their years living there. This project will be helpful to the people who live at the assisted living center by bringing to life to the outdoor living area they frequently sit during nice weather. This assisted living facility does not have the resources to create a “homey” backyard. But they take great care of their residents and they all seem happy. Currently there is only one patio table, a bunch of chairs and zero flowers or color out there. By building this accessible flower garden, not only will the residents be able to sit and enjoy gazing at flowers, but they will be able to see life come into the back area with butterflies and birds. Making this raised garden wheelchair accessible will allow all to enjoy it, touch it, tend to it if they choose. I will be adding different textures of flowers, different colors and smells. Gardens have been shown to increase enjoyment in nursing home and asissted living facilities by giving the residents a purpose to tend the garden. Giving a daily task of tending a garden can help memory as well, also allows the residents to continue to be nurturing which is good if they have been nurturers all thier lives. ” – Addisyn S.

The total working time of the project was 12 hours, from 4 pm on Friday to 1 1 am on Sunday.” – Carrine K.

On Dec 6, 2020, Sydney completed her Eagle Project which involved rebuilding a garden fence for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. Sydney completed her Eagle Board of Review on February 8, 2021 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
“I am going to be removing the current fence around the West Garden and replacing it with an 8ft tall fence with 6ft of deer netting, 2ft of chicken wire as well as a decorative fence around the garden. The [old] fence has been in place for many years and has started to fail to keep out animals such as deer and rabbits because of the original design. The new fence will be much taller so that deer cannot reach over the fence and it will be much sturdier and less susceptible to storms.” – Sydney H.
