IMPORTANT: The following ideas are provided by parks supervisors as ideas for Eagle scouts to consider and, if they choose, developed and carried out. In order to meet requirements for an Eagle Project the project must:
Not be related to maintenance
Improve or add to the parks in a way that is not a part of the daily work of the city employees
Encourage the scout to provide materials and develop new skills
Demonstrate community leadership in involving others in the work (direct service, fund raising, and/or planning).
Some project ideas may need to be combined with other projects or efforts designated or designed by the scout in order to meet full requirements. ** We ask that the volunteer provide as many of the tools/materials as they are able. We will then supplement their needs. Parks will always provide mulch. Please contact Park Maintenance at 852-6606 for more information or to sign up for any of the following projects.
* All projects must be completed to standards and will be inspected by City staff throughout the project.
