This is the 32nd in an occasional series where I share Eagle Scout project before-and-after photos. See the complete collection here<\/a>\u00a0and submit your own here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

COVID-19 note: Most of these Eagle projects were completed before the pandemic, meaning the photos may not necessarily depict coronavirus-related health and safety protocols.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

The latest batch of 22 projects includes a wooden greenhouse, an information kiosk honoring fallen Marines and a $56,000 patio that took more than 1,700 volunteer hours to build.<\/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
