Tim’s Eagle Project
One Hundred Scouts
Of the one hundred, rarely will one ever appear before a juvenile
court judge. Twelve of the one hundred will be from families that
belong to no church. Through Scouting, these twelve and many of
their families will be brought into contact with a church and will
continue to be active. Six of the one hundred will become pastors.
Each of the one hundred will learn something from Scouting.
Almost all will develop hobbies that will add interest throughout
the rest of their lives. Approximately one half will serve in the
military, and in varying degrees profit from their Scout training. At
least one will use it to save another person's life and many will
credit it with saving their own.
Only two of the one hundred will reach Eagle rank, and at least one
will later say that he valued his Eagle above his college degree.
Many will find their vocation through merit badge work and
Scouting contacts. Seventeen of the one hundred boys will later
become Scout leaders and will give leadership to thousands of
additional boys. Only one in four boys in America will become
Scouts, but it is interesting to note that of the leaders of this nation
in business, religion, and politics, three out of four were Scouts. Of
the 24 men to travel to the moon, 21 were scouts and the first man
on the Moon, Neal Armstrong, is an Eagle Scout. All the
astronauts on Apollo 13 – the mission known as the successful
failure - were all scouts.
This story will never end. Like the Golden Pebble of Service
dropped into the human sea, it will continue to radiate in everwidening circles, influencing the characters of men down through
unending time.
The original idea for my project stemmed from the need for a snack
shack on the San Ramon Valley High School pool deck. The 50 yearold pool recently had its existing building torn down along with the
school’s old gymnasium. As far as anyone knew, there would not be a
new structure for at least five years, if at all. Since the snack shack
brought in money for both the swim and water polo programs, both of
which I competed with. I decided that I would like to build a
temporary structure to serve the fundraising purpose of the
demolished snack shack.
By the time I had drawn up the plans and gained approval for my
project, however, the old pool had been condemned and San Ramon
was on its way to having a brand new pool. As we didn’t know if
there would be need for my project at the new pool, I instead decided
that it should benefit all school events and programs.
My project was to construct and deliver a portable display case with
shelves for the use of San Ramon Valley High School events. The
unit is eight feet long, two feet deep, and four feet tall with a
Plexiglas face, internal shelving, and thematic color scheme. It has
back facing shelves for display of sellable items. Spanning over three
days, the planning and construction took a combined effort of 318.5
scout and adult leader work hours, 105 of which I spent myself. The
case was later painted green and gold and it now serves as a portable
multi-purpose storage and display case with a counter used to sell
food and spirit wear to benefit school clubs and activities.
Kyle’s Scouting History

Advancement
I worked with Mr. Dowlern, the Director of Tech Arts Ministry at
Community Presbyterian Church in Danville, CA, to inventory all the
audio and visual equipment of the church. There are 1400 registered
members of the church and the Tech Arts /Music Ministry needed to
categorize its 7 rooms of audio-visual equipment inventory in an
electronic format. This would allow the church to document
ownership of the equipment, list the equipment’s replacement value
for insurance purposes, and have a working locator inventory list.

A numbered labeling system was created to identify the items. An
online inventory application that allows simultaneous multi-user
input was used. I was able to document the name, description,
location, make, model, and serial number of the inventory items.
Photos were taken of items with high value and spaces were left for
Mr. Dowlern to document the replacement cost.
As a member of the Tech Arts Ministry, I was eager to try my hand at
a new generation of Eagle projects procedure. My project required
no materials funding but had great value to the church. The scouts
and volunteers came with their computers, tablets and phones and
logged onto the online application website. The work crews logged
in 54 youth service hours in 3 days and inventoried 390 items.
My objective for this project was to create an easy to maintain
inventory system for the church that could be shared by the many
members of the Tech Arts and Music Ministry. It will serve as a
reference resource for the weekend service setup volunteers so that
they know where the tech and music items are stored and where they
are supposed to go after they are used, resulting in a faster and more
efficient setup time for events and services and less misplaced and/or
lost items.
