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
Today we highlight...
Tristan Von Bargen, a senior who is a part of Tenino Troop 9014, provided the Tenino High School’s track and field team much needed infrastructure. Tristan, a track athlete, recognized the need for storage of the track team’s equipment. According to Tristan, “The original storage place for all of our equipment was shared with football and tennis and it was getting pretty crammed in there.” He took on the challenge of constructing a 12 foot by 10 foot equipment shed with materials given to him at cost from Mountain Lumber & Hardware (Yelm) and donated supplies from Rochester Lumber. Cornerstone Community Church (Tenino) and Duncan Family Medicine (Olympia) also donated towards the cost of the project. This shed will ensure that the team's gear is organized, protected from the elements, and readily accessible, streamlining practices and competitions for years to come. When asked what the most rewarding part of his project was, he replied, "Being able to start something and watch it slowly be built from the ground to the top and watching it all come together.”
