Landon Stuart’s Eagle Project

At the Hermann Park Conservancy, there is a generously sized community garden that holds many crops that the people working there tend. They grow these plants so they can donate the harvestable produce to people who are in need of food and that may not be able to get fresh fruits or vegetables elsewhere.

My project is to restore the physical garden beds which have been slowly aging and decomposing over the years. I am looking to fix three of the planter boxes. The cost for each planter box is $1200 and the total amount I am looking to raise is $3600. I need this money to be able to afford the restorations. Please donate to help a friend in scouting give back to the community that taught him to do so.

Troop 266 prides itself on supporting the community and helping those who are in need.

Whether it is assisting folks who were hit hard by Harvey, preparing and serving Thanksgiving meals to West University Seniors, building shiny new bikes for children without one or working on a slew of EAGLE PROJECTS for schools, charities and churches, the scouts and members of Troop 266 are readily available to offer their service.

Going forward we will be populating this page with the stories and photos of those Troop 266 members and friends who donate their time, money and sweat to making a noticeable difference in the community and neighborhoods that serve and support us.
