Achieving the highest rank of Eagle Scout is no small feat. This week we will be highlighting four dedicated scouts from Tenino High School who have taken their commitment to community service to the next level by choosing Eagle Scout projects that directly benefit their school community. Eagle Scout projects must benefit an organization other than the Boy Scouts and involve extensive planning, development, and execution. These four Eagle Scout projects are a testament to the character, leadership, and community spirit of these young men. They didn't just earn a prestigious rank; they invested their time and talent into improving their high school, leaving behind tangible improvements that will benefit students and athletes for years to come. Their actions serve as a powerful reminder that giving back to your community can take many forms, and even at a young age, you can make a significant and lasting difference. On behalf of the Tenino School District, we extend our deepest gratitude and heartfelt congratulations for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Your dedication, hard work, and leadership have made a significant lasting impact on our school community.
First up is....
Carson Schall, a senior who is a part of Tenino Troop 9014 and a dedicated Tenino track hurdler, noticed the current state of the shotput area was in poor condition. The often over-looked but crucial area with more weeds than sand, was making it difficult for his aspiring thrower teammates to practice and improve their skills. Recognizing the importance of having a safe and optimal surface for athletes to train and compete, Carson focused his efforts, meticulously planned and executed the renovation of the shotput area. He removed weeds, put down weed fabric and replaced the sand donated by Washington Rock Quarries (Orting). Carson also replaced part of the border with railroad ties donated by the Peterson’s Farm (Tenino). The most rewarding part of the project for Carson was completing the project and “watching the throwers use it to get better and perform well at state this year.”
