For Elijah’s Eagle Scout project, he constructed a pergola for the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) Rose garden area. The pergola adds aesthetic appeal to the area and provides visitors with a place to relax during a hot sunny day. An Eagle project requires the scout to completely plan, direct and supervise others, bringing the project to completion.
To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a Scout must be active in their troop, demonstrate leadership, earn 21 merit badges including the areas of citizenship, camping, communications, cooking and lifesaving or emergency preparedness as well as demonstrate that they live by the principles of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
