Please see our Eagle Project Method page to see how a scout can initiate his project, ideas for projects and other information important to the process.
Some of our projects require you to logon before you can see them since the scout's parents wished the information to remain restricted to troop members only.
Wheelchair Ramps
I built two wheelchair ramps for a family home near the town of Gurley, Alabama, on Keel Mountain. The family in need have a five year old special needs daughter who is confined to a wheel chair. The wheelchair ramps were needed in the front and rear of the home to prevent her caretakers from having to carry her to and from the home to the family car.
The ramp in the front of the home was shorter and only required a 16 inch drop in elevation. The ramp in the rear of the home was quite a bit longer as it required a 52 inch drop in elevation. The longer ramp in the rear required a 180 degree change in direction to comply with slope requirements and building codes.
This was a very rewarding project for me and my troop as it helped a family in need and helped make a little girl's life better.
