Eagle Scout Project Justice Elementary School

Help Support My Eagle Scout Project: Planters for Justice Elementary School

Hello!

My name is Dylan Barnes, and I am currently working toward achieving the rank of Eagle Scout with Troop 126.

As part of this journey, I am leading a community service project—and I would love your support!

One of the lessons that I have learned through my journey from Cub Scout to Eagle Scout is that service to God, Country, and our community is the greatest gift we can give. I hope that you will join me in this endeavor to give back to my local community.

For my Eagle Scout project, I will be building custom planter boxes for Justice Elementary School, a school where I started my journey to Eagle as a Cub Scout. Justice is a local school that means a lot to our community, and my family as well. Both of my sisters have had the privilege of attending Justice, and my youngest sister is in the 3rd grade at Justice.

These planters will be used by students and teachers for hands-on learning about gardening, science, and environmental stewardship. They’ll also help beautify the school grounds and create a more welcoming outdoor space for everyone.

Why this project matters:

• Encourages students to engage with nature and learn how plants grow

• Provides a sustainable space for science and environmental lessons

• Enhances the school’s outdoor areas with a touch of green

• Brings the community together through service and education

In order to make this project a reality, I need to raise approximately $2,250 to cover the cost of materials such as planters, soil, plants, tools, and hardware. Every donation—no matter the size—brings us closer to making a lasting impact for the students and teachers at Justice Elementary School. Justice is the beneficiary of this fundraiser, and all funds will directly support this project and the school. If I am lucky enough to raise more than needed, the extra amount will be given to the school to be used for student enrichment and the future needs of the school.

How you can help:

1. Donate any amount you can—every dollar helps!

2. Share this fundraiser with friends, family, and community members.

3. Spread the word on social media or local groups who may want to support.

4. Come get your hands dirty and help me bring this project to life! We will be at Justice Elementary on April 26th and 27th making this project a reality- Thanks to generous gifts from Starbucks and Stonefire, your hard work and support will be rewarded with a boost of caffeine and a delicious lunch! I hope to see you all!

I am incredibly grateful for your support and encouragement as I work toward this important milestone in Scouting. The journey from Cub Scout to Eagle Scout has had a significant impact on my life. I am forever grateful for the life lessons, discipline, focus, experiences, and preparedness for life that I have received from my Troop and the Boy Scouts of America over the last 9 years. Together, we can make a difference in our school and community.

Thank you so much!

Yours in Scouting,

Dylan Barnes
