Eagle Project Beautifies Grace Lutheran Church

On May 31, 2008, under the leadership of Life Scout, Matt Anderson, Troop 626 performed an Eagle service project for Grace Lutheran Church, in Bellevue.

An overall turnout of 27 people, scouts, adults, and non-scout friends of mine. Together, we planted 5 trees, many shrubs, and over 300 groundcover plants. We put down groundcloth to prevent weeds from cropping up in the long term and put down top soil over the project area. Because the proposed project was completed over an hour early and the entire church (not just the corner we worked in) was undergoing landscaping work, though, the we also worked to plant 6 20 foot trees out in front of the church (with the help of a backhoe).

A note from Matt:
In every respect, the project was a complete success. I would like to say thank you to everyone who showed up to the project because, without you, the project could not have been completed. Having had only 6 volunteers a week ago, it was really remarkable how much support I got on the day of project. Again, I thank all of you who helped make this project happen.
