Eagle Scout Project at my local Temple

My name is Ethan Adams, and I am a Scout from Troop 173 in Parsippany, New Jersey. I am 14 years old and going into my freshman year of high school.

I joined scouting in the first grade and earned my first rank as a Tiger Cub Scout. After I completed my AOL rank, I bridged to Troop 173. Since then, I have gone through six ranks: Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life. I am now working on becoming an Eagle Scout, the highest rank in scouting. I have been working since first grade to obtain this achievement.

During my journey to Eagle, I have completed requirements throughout the ranks such as camping, first aid, swimming, personal fitness, and leadership. I must now demonstrate leadership of others while completing a project that benefits my local community. I have chosen to complete my Eagle project at my local Jewish Temple in Rockaway, New Jersey.

While preparing for my project, I met with the Temple staff and designed my project to include items that were important to them and the congregation. My project includes the installation of a new railing that protects people at an emergency exit, power washing, sanding, and painting four railings at the side entrance. In addition to these important tasks, I will be restoring and painting two columns at the front entrance of the Temple and refurbishing an existing bench that was donated by a congregant several years ago and is currently in very bad shape.

My project will help the Temple tremendously as these areas look worn and neglected and are not welcoming to people coming in to worship.

In order to complete my project, I need to raise funds for materials and supplies. With your donation, my team and I can turn the Temple into a place where people feel welcomed to worship and hold community events.

Below are pictures that show the areas I will be working on during my project. Please help my local Temple and community by donating funds towards my Eagle project. Thank you for your consideration.
