Joseph Porcu's Eagle Scout Project

Sailor's Snug Harbor Little League is near and dear to the hearts of those who have played ball there.  It is a place where friendships are made, good sportsmanship is developed and the love of the game of baseball is taught.  Players and families of Snug Harbor Little League develop strong bonds and lasting friendships.

My name is Joseph Porcu.  I am a proud alumni of Snug Harbor Little League, where I started playing baseball at age 4.  Through the years, I have made many friends through the Little League at Snug and I am truly grateful for all the life lessons I learned from my coaches and fellow baseball players at Snug.  I learned how to win and how to lose with dignity, I learned the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship and I learned what an important role Snug Harbor Little League plays in our community.  It is with this spirit in mind that I wanted to find a way to give back to this wonderful organization that played such a vital role in my childhood. 

As a prospective Eagle Scout, I wanted to develop a project for Snug Harbor Little League that demonstrates pride and love of my country and honors civil servants who lost their lives in the line of duty. 

My goal is to raise $4,000 in order to purchase and erect a 35 foot nautical flag pole for Sailor's Snug Harbor Little League.  This project includes beautification of the site,  purchase of all materials, assembly and erection of the flag pole.  This flag pole would serve to memorialize civil servants (such as firefighters, police officers and other peace officers, E.M.S., sanitation, etc.) who lost their lives in the line of duty.  As many Snug Harbor Little League families are employed as civil servants, this would be a fitting tribute to the sacrifices made by many members of our community.
