Five years ago, I joined the Boy Scouts of America. I was such a little kid, full of hopes and dreams about one day becoming an Eagle Scout. Fast forward 4 years to August 2016.

On March 5, My volunteers and I started my project. Our goal was simple: rip up all of the old boards and replace them with new ones and do the same with the railing. I separated the deck in half because the members of the church still had to go to the Sunday service and needed to get in the church. The church had double doors so I could extend caution tape to one door and the other would still be free. On that first day, I had the most volunteers I would have for the rest of my project. We ripped off half of the old railing and took out the lampposts that lit up the deck at night. Then my volunteers and I started to rip up the old boards. This task looked easy, but it wasn’t. The job took twice as long as I had planned because of difficulties with the old nails. But nonetheless by lunch we had a lot of the deck ripped up and had already started putting new boards down. By 3 o'clock that day we had extended the new deck to the beginning of the stairs. We were about ⅖ done the decking boards. We repeated the same process the next Sunday and throughout March.

All with the help of only a handful of volunteers and strictly financed through donations. Reverend Neyman says besides hiring a crew to lay down the basement floor and put shingles on the roof, all the labor had been done by 12-15 volunteers. He says one of the big blessings the project has seen was when a stranger mailed in a $25,000 check. " Every gift whether big or small, whether it's $25,000 or $25 it just shows that people love you and shows that people care about what you're doing here," says Reverend Nayman.

I’ve been asked what it means to be an Eagle scout, but I can’t properly tell you what an Eagle scout is without explaining how it feels, and how to get there.

You realize that every scout master, every senior patrol leader, every teacher, every pastor, and especially your parents, have influenced you to become an Eagle.

In Boy Scouts, when a scout is attempting to earn the Eagle Scout rank, he must organize and carryout a community service project. Our Savior Lutheran Church, in Valentine, Nebraska, had a badly sloped lawn which directed rainwater and sprinkler water into the church basement, thus making it unusable. For my Eagle Scout project, I decided to help the church correct this problem by changing the gradient on the east side of the church to redirect water away from the basement to the road and move irrigation sprinkler heads to improve water flow. This project helped me to learn how to plan a project, solve problems, coordinate and direct people and activities, and employ basic engineering skills to achieve a successful outcome.
