Agenda Item

Hear presentation on and recognize Eagle Scout candidate Jeremy Matthews for his Eagle Scout project work on placement of trail markers along the Brushy Creek Regional Trail.

Background

Life Scout Jeremy Matthews approached the Parks and Recreation Department about an appropriate service project to meet the requirement for his Eagle Scout Rank. This agenda item provides an opportunity for the scout to relate his experience in working with Williamson County.

Requirement #5 for the rank of Eagle Scout states in part, "While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project should benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project plan must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and troop committee, and the council or district before you start."

As a demonstration of leadership, the Scout must plan the work, organize the personnel needed, and direct the project to its completion. More than a million Boy Scouts and half a million adult volunteers contribute 50 million service hours a year in projects across the United States.
