​Earning Eagle
To earn Eagle, one must climb 7 Scouting ranks, earn 21 merit badges, complete an Eagle Service Project, become a leader within their troop, and prepare their final Eagle Scout Binder.
​
The Eagle Project is the culminating large requirement for a scout on his way to earning his Eagle Rank. The purpose is to provide the opportunity for the scout to plan, develop, and give leadership to others.
​
Three scouts completed their Eagle Projects over the last several months. Each of these scouts have been working toward this requirement since they were tiger cubs. The troop is very proud of them for their dedication to this journey and were happy to volunteer toward their efforts.
Completed Eagle Project at Pleasant Hill High School
This project entailed building a GaGa Ball pit for Pleasant Hill High School. Gaga Ball is a game sort of like dodgeball where you are trying to hit people to get them out but you are trying to hit their legs instead of anywhere with only one ball. This scout was first introduced to GaGa Ball at Camp Harlow nearly nine years ago, and he has loved the game ever since. It is a great way to stay active, have fun, and make friends—and he wanted to give students at Pleasant Hill High the chance to experience that same joy.
Completed Eagle Project at Dorris Ranch
This project entailed rebuilding a small trail bridge at Dorris Ranch. The old bridge was torn out and new concrete footings were poured for the new bridge on the first day. The new bridge was built and ready for use by the community on the second day.
Completed Eagle Project at Wild Ones Youth Ranch
This project comprised rebuilding the horse corral at Wild Ones Youth Ranch, which was falling apart. Wild Ones is a non-profit, Christian organization that teaches kids of all ages how to ride horses.

Completed Eagle Project at Mt. Pisgah
This project consisted of multiple phases, including building a base, putting up the walls, setting on the roof, installing the doors, framing the overhang, painting and finishing touches, which resulted in a new tool locker at Mt. Pisgah's plant nursery. The final result came together with help from experienced builders as well as fellow scouts, who all volunteered their time to be of service to the community.
