Rodgers chose to repair and refinish the playground at St. James School. Rodgers wanted to
be able to give back to the Saint James Community, the school he attended until 5th grade, the
church he had grown up in and the place where he worked during the summer. The project was
proposed on August 27th, 2015 and with the help of Troop 27, he completed the project on
October 15, 2015. He passed his board of review on October 20, 2016. He becomes the 110th
Eagle Scout out of Troop 27.
Joe Rodgers graduated from Manchester High School in the spring of 2016 and is now a
freshmen at Central Connecticut State University majoring in mechanical engineering. He is
also a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
