Eagle Scout Project - Gaga Ball Pit

Donation protected
Hello,

My name is Ben Lewis (camp nickname is Skrunch) and I'm raising money for my Eagle Scout Project. I am the youngest of 5 boys (all of my older brothers are Eagle Scouts).

My project will benefit Roosevelt Elementary School in Zeeland, MI. I am building a Gaga Ball Pit for the students to use at recess or gym classes as well as the surrounding community that uses the playground on the weekends or during baseball or soccer games in the area.


I am raising money for the materials needed to build the pit as well as providing balls, a plaque with the rules of the game and a dedication plaque to place on the Gaga Ball pit for the school. My goal is to make this out of cedar to withstand time at the school and not rot or get bug infested in the wood. I am also planning colorful rails from the gaga ball pit company on the tops of the walls to protect the pit from weather and provide some color on the playground.  If I raise enough funds, it will also help to feed my workers and volunteers on the work days and possibly donuts and juice for the school students, faculty and staff on the dedication morning as a celebration for the elementary school. It will also cover any Go Fund Me fees. I am trying to reach my goal by July 15th so I can order supplies before my work days in August.

This is my old elementary school and I have always wanted to come back as a scout and build something fun for the kids as my Eagle Scout project.

Your support would mean the world to me! My brothers and I have all worked at the local scout camp: Gerber Scout Reservation for years during our summers as CITs, Den Chiefs, Area Directors, and Program Director (one brother worked 11 years there every summer). My parents were Cub Scout leaders for 18 and 19 years. 

I am really hoping I meet my goal so I can do this for the school and the kids. My scout troop, Troop 316, is monitoring the money for the project for me, so all donations that are checks should be made payable to Troop 316 – and in the memo Ben Lewis Eagle Scout project. Thank you so much for any support you can give my project, it is truly appreciated!! I am really grateful to everyone for reading this and for any support you can give me.

Thanks so much!!
