My eagle project was building shelters for
feral cats, opossums. and raccoons at Tule Ponds. We built 4 shelters in
total, and I built them with scouts from my troop and family friends. My
eagle project consisted of first, planning how we will be building the
structures, then making sure everyone knows how to use the tools needed
to build the structures, and finally building and painting the
structure. The scouts from Troop 153 came on August 29th and August 30th
to help build the shelters, and my family friends helped build some of
the shelters before that in early August.

Some of the scouts that helped me
during my eagle project are Parthdwaj, Aaryan, Nikhil, Shatkratu,
Aamod, Rajorshi, Aarush, Aashrith, Yagnik, Himank, Pranav, and
Girish, who all are from Troop 153. Art, a supervisor at Tule Ponds,
also helped us by providing some paint and showing us where
different utilities are. Also, Dr. Blueford helped us during the
eagle project by providing a place to build the shelters, and
guiding me throughout the process of planning out the shelters and
deciding what would be necessary in the design of the shelter.
