The Continuing Eagle Project


I am so Proud of Anders!!!  He has picked a pretty in depth Eagle Project and it is coming along nicely!  I am so disappointed I don't have pictures of the bake sale.  You would not believe how many cookies and goodies we made!!  So to start at the beginning, Anders decided to make wood shape puzzles for a children's developmental center.  It requires quite a lot of money to buy the materials so he wanted to have a bake sale.  He passed out flyers to 100+ houses and emails to family.  He offered 6 options (Reese's peanut butter cup cookies, homemade kit kat bars, coffee cake, sour cream cookies with burnt butter frosting, outrageous brownies and yum yums).  45 orders and many, many hours later, Anders had all the money he needed for his project.  Bret and Anders bought  supplies and they are now cutting the shapes.  After the shapes are cut, scout and friends will get together to sand, paint, glue and spray finish them.  It is a pretty in depth and time consuming project, but I'm so proud of how hard he has worked and the skills he has learned.  He is communicating with adults better and has learned to better organize and manage his time.  He is proud of his work and there has been some time lost as he feels he needs to perfect the puzzles.  He wants to give the children a product that is high quality.  What a great kid he is!!!!  And what a wonderfully supportive father he has!!!
