@kitties-with-sigs @imperfectlyperfect3 I think those are right My oldest is in need of an eagle scout project and what would be more perfect than helping out here since we have two SFDR doggos in our home What are you in most need of? Outside kennels, dog lots, etc…. There is some leeway here but essentially if the stars align, we are only 20-30 minutes south and can fundraise, get a crew on site and can build anything that you most need to help out without expense on SFDR part. Also, if uncomfortable with it we can look elsewhere but this came to mind for both me and my kid. Looking to do this sometime later this year |

Some of the youth look at the project as solely a “requirement”: They are missing the point by not finding something they are passionate about and doing something harder. Tell your son to go big! That means a lot more work but it’s well worth it. When he comes up with a project and a materials list it’s worth the time to solicit donations from the local lumber yards. We were provided free of charge most of the lumber and hardware by a local place and they were happy to play a part. I’ve heard Lowe's and Home Depot will often donate or substantially discount materials for Eagle projects as well. YIS Curmudgeon |

| If we could figure out a way to build some kennels , I would be able to save more dogs ! I am at my limit for inside my home ! Fencing and kennels would absolutely be amazing!! Also they could help at events and maybe help with fundraising for medical care ? There’s so much that k need help with |

If Spud has an active Troop I think you’ll be surprised how many people will step up. We had about 10 volunteers doing prep work for my son’s project and about 30 on the day of the install. Project that benefit animals are popular. And knowing the community here, I’m fairly sure the fund raising could be done in a few days solely on this website |

-Attached File He did three of these. Set in concrete with seepage pits. They get a lot of use as the shelter has dozens of dogs needed baths |
