Building community- an Eagle Scout project
Heather Brougham-Cook, Alivia Church, and Sophia Herbst
Caleb Davis, junior at Cross Schools recently completed his Eagle Scout project for the new cafeteria expansion on campus. He began the project in the summer of 2024 with the goal of completing it by his 18th birthday. The timing was perfect allowing him to hand the keys of two trophy cabinets to head of school, Mr. Almeida, on October 2nd to coincide with the official opening of the facility.One of many on-campus Eagle Scout and Heritage Girls projects housed on Cross Campus, the cabinets carry a small plaque honoring Caleb’s troop, Troop 222. Caleb led a team of 14 scouts engaged in building the trophy case, a project that took 314 hours to compete. Reflecting on the project, Caleb remarks that “despite all the planning and hard work on my part, absolutely nothing would have been accomplished without the generosity and selflessness of those who assisted in the journey.”
