Troop 224, which began in May 1953, is a boy-led Boy Scout Troop dedicated to the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America national organization. To achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, the candidate must earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, including 13 Eagle- required badges, demonstrate leadership and scout spirit, and successfully complete an Eagle service project that benefits the community.
Dylan Lane is a senior at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek. For his Eagle project, he worked with Principal Matt Campbell to design and landscape the main courtyard at Las Lomas High School.
Jason Cornell is a senior at Acalanes High School. For Jason's Eagle project, he chose to give back to the Lafayette Nursery where he attended as a young child. He led the design, coordination, and construction of a large portable water basin and carpentry table.
Adam Coate is a junior at Acalanes High School. Adam's Eagle service project consisted of building and installing 150 backpack hooks at Pleasant Hill Middle School.
