Eagle Project

Keno and Elder Bennett
An Eagle project for the Boy Scouts is a big thing. Young men can do an Eagle project once they are are a Star Scout. However, they usually do them between the ages of 14 and 18.  They have to have them done by the time they turn 18. It is must be something to benefit the community. There is an approval process from the Boy Scouts and then the work can begin. The project its self must be 40 man hours. That means the Scout plans it all out, and the day of the project they run it. If you have 20 people there and they work 2 hours, the 40 hours have been met.
My son Kameron had his project this past Saturday.
Aunt Cathy, Grandma Granger and Sharon 
He organized a day for people to come and make Pillow Cases for Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.
Each child receives a pillow for their stay. One lady who came said her daughter is at Mary Bridge and it really means a lot to the kids to get a pillow case. 
The pinning station

We were there from 10:00-3:30 and we made 168 pillow cases!
Many people are making them at home and they will be collected in a few days.
It was a great day! It was awesome that many people came and dedicated  their time for this great cause!
Thank you all!

Kameron thanks you, too!

  1. Kameron did a wonderful shop overseeing women sewing, men ironing and pinning, and kids running the pillowcases back and forth. We should have another 25 pillowcases for him by tomorrow afternoon. We had lots of fun!!
