An Update and Thank You from Ben Conway

Hi Everyone,
 
It’s Ben here with a blog post about my Eagle project, which I fully completed just this last week. The project involved making 80 kits of school supplies and donating them to kids in need through the Salem Boys and Girls Club. The final assembly was carried out by me and a team of scouts. In no particular order, I would like to recognize them. They are Colin Conway, Austin Hardwick, Leyang Zhang, Luke Donohoe, Cia Donohoe, Oliver Crowley, and Giuseppe Tra. I also would like to thank all of the parents and troop volunteers, particularly Dennis Lagace and Tyler Duda, for helping with the loads of planning and paperwork that went with this project. Finally, I would like to thank everyone at the Salem Boys and Girls Club, which is truly an efficient and effective charitable organization. This project was a group effort, and I could never have done it without all of the incredible support I have received.
 
If you are curious, I have attached some photos and videos regarding the project below.


First, here is a sped-up video of the assembly of the kits. Sorry for the lack of music; Youtube is crazy with copyright stuff.

Here is a photo of all of the kids with their kits. It was the most rewarding part of the project!

Finally, here's a larger gallery with all of the photos from the day!
