Scout Completes Eagle Project
David Hassell of Troop 66 Norwell has recently completed his project requirements for Eagle Scout. David has built an outdoor prayer and reflection area dedicated to Pope John Paul II at St. Christines in Marshfield. The inspiration came from limited sitting space for reflection and prayer on the grounds of the church. The area is a circle with a radius of 14 feet and four walkways leading to a birdbath in the center. This idea was derived from the design of the Eucharist and the walkways resemble a cross. The walkways are crushed stone with stepping-stones to walk on and gardens grace the space in between them. There is also an angel that sits on the birdbath in the center and four benches are placed for sitting area on the outside of the circle. Each bench measures 4 feet long and is composed of pressure treated 2 x 4’s, cedar 2 x 4’s and composite decking on the top. Dave used mostly returnable cans and bottles that he collected from family, friends, neighbors and fellow scouts for the funds of this project. He is appreciative of the donation of wood for the benches by Boston Cedar and Millwork in Holbrook and the donation of stepping-stones from the Home Depot in Rockland. Also, Dave is very grateful to Old Oak Landscaping for their donations of mulch and crushed stones. He would also like to thank That Bloomin’ Place Too in Pembroke and St. Christines for a donation of flowers to the project. Lastly, the time and effort of his friends, family and fellow scouts in helping on the project were immensely esteemed.
