To fully understand\u00a0the impact Eagle Scout projects have on communities, you need to\u00a0see to\u00a0believe.\u00a0That\u2019s why I asked to see\u00a0Eagle Scout project before-and-after photos<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the same photos\u00a0prospective Eagles are asked to\u00a0include with their post-project report.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s batch of 15 projects includes a memorial friendship garden, a goat playpen and a chimney swift tower for the gray-brown birds that dwell in vertical structures.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s great is that you can multiply each individual act of stupendous service by more than 50,000. That\u2019s how many Eagle Scout projects get completed every single year.<\/p>\n
