The Eagle Scout Rank is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scout program of the Boy Scouts of America. Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout requires years of dedication and hard work on the part of the Boy Scout. In addition to the 21 required merit badges they must earn, each Scout must complete an extensive service project the he plans, organizes, leads, and manages. The intent of this project is to demonstrate the Eagle candidate has developed substantial leadership skills over his Scouting career.
This Eagle Scout project involved the building of a small library. This Eagle Scout service project was completed in June of 2017 by a Boy Scout from Troop 559. For this project the Eagle Scout candidate led 31 volunteers in over 185 hours of service. The library was custom designed and modeled after the exterior of the Church. The Scout’s goal in building this library was to promote reading in the surrounding area and to provide access to books to those who need them.
This cache is part of a "Troop 559 Cache to Eagle" series highlighting service projects conducted by Eagle Scout candidates of Troop 559 in Woodbury, Minnesota. Service is one of the pillars of the Scouting movement. The Scout Oath includes the phrase “to help other people at all times,” which reminds Scouts to always be of service to others. Troop 559 has continually served the community since it was first chartered in 1970. Troop 559 is a member of the Great Rivers District of Northern Star Council, BSA.
