From learning about citizenship as a Tiger #CubScout, to tackling a service project that will help firefighters throughout his community, Jacob D. has had quite the #Scouting adventure.
 
A member of Troop 600 in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, Jacob created two freestanding dryers for firefighter gear for his #EagleScout Service Project. The two machines dry the expensive firefighter gear quickly, efficiently and without damage. That’s not all – Jacob’s project will impact ALL firefighters across the Greensboro, North Carolina, community.
 
“[Jacob’s] going to give us the plans for [the freestanding dryers], and we can make some of these for ourself – and we’ve got 27 fire stations across the city,” explains Deputy Chief Dwayne Church of the Greensboro Fire Department. “That would be a huge impact – all across the city of Greensboro.”
 
As we congratulate Jacob – and thank everyone who helped him complete his project – we simultaneously honor all his years in #Scouting (this reel shows a glimpse!). From day one, he has learned about the #ScoutOath and #ScoutLaw and living out both. He’s gained skills, grown in character and visited incredible places like Florida Sea Base (seabaseha) – and the future is bright!
 
“Being a part of Scouts since first grade has taught me how to be more independent and self-reliant,” Jacob says. “It has shown me how to teach and lead others. The memories I have made from all of my adventures in Scouts will forever stay with me!”
