Eagle Scout
Prior to graduating high school, I organized and led a playground refurbishment/construction project for my church, St Francis of Assisi. The project took several months to complete and remained intact for an additional ten years until it was ultimately replaced. The project was my final task to attaining my Eagle Scout rank which is the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America.
A few notable Eagle Scouts from history would be: Neil Armstrong, Steven Spielberg, former US president Gerald Ford, just to name a few.
