Hi Everyone,

We, like many shelters across the country, get a number of requests from Scout troops monthly for tours and other exciting engagement opportunities! We also field a number of requests from older scouts who are looking to complete their Eagle Scout/ Gold Star project ideas and are hoping to do something meaningful and larger for the shelter! We have had them reorganize our disaster trailer, build a shed, create a pantry organization system, build shade covers, construct community cat shelters, make agility toys for the dog yard, add flower boxes for cat enrichment-just to name a few! (some photos below)

I am hoping to gain more ideas to have in mind for these amazing requests and would love to see what projects scouts have completed for your shelters! Would love if you can include photos as well!! I hope this will serve as a list we can all reference when we get these larger project ideas from scouts! 

Many thanks,

Jenn

I am a volunteer at our shelter and  have always thought the boy scouts and girl scouts were one of our best community resources--not only do you get engagement with the community but also the bonus of educating the next generation about the positive aspects of shelter pets, volunteerism,  etc.

If you have  you have a decent amount of grounds around your shelter a great project could be the construction of  trails for "sniff walks".  Constructed similarly to exercise par courses, one could have stations where they could  plant plants/bushes  or have various types of enrichment materials.

We had an Eagle Scout make a new Rainbow Bridge for our Memorial Garden. The one we had was decomposing. He did a fantastic job with his troop and it will last for years to come!

Michele, so interesting! Do you have a photo of your memorial garden you might be able to share?
