Agenda Item

Hear presentation from and recognize Eagle Scout candidate Sam Ferrero for his Eagle Scout project work on informational kiosks for the Williamson County Southwest Regional Park.

Background

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

Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). A Scout who attains this rank is called an Eagle Scout or Eagle. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than 2 million young men. The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle".

Eagle Scout requirements include an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads, and manages. For his project Sam designed and installed informational kiosks at the Southwest Regional Park. These kiosks provide places for Parks staff to post information on events, activities, sports, trails, reservation as well as endangered species information for the preserve areas.
