I have been in scouting for 11 years. I started as a Wolf in Cub Scouts. Scouting has given me so much. Scouting has taught me so much such as respecting each other,self motivation,Team work, honor, self-confidence, and leadership. I've logged hundreds of hours serving my community while in scouting. From miles of roadside cleanup,laying wreaths at Fort Snelling cemetery. Collecting toys for the children's hospital, building butterfly houses for a community park, Serving pancakes at the lions club and much more.

I am now working on the rank of Eagle, the highest rank in scouting. A rank only 6% of scouts achieve.

For my Eagle project, I will be building raised garden beds at the local elementary school. The students will be using these beds not only to grow vegetables but also to study pollinators like butterflies.

These raised beds will be made from cedar wood and filled with quality garden soil.

I have calculated that the cost of this project will be around $1500. 100% of all the funds collected will go into this project.

Thank you for your donation. Your generosity will make a real difference.

Yours in Scouting,

Joey Cruz
