EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT
WILL SCHRIEWER
TROOP 439
2014
"Local Boy Scouts want to help the Washington Parks Department.
"Four Scouts were granted permission from the Washington Parks Board to do their Eagle Scout projects in Washington parks. The projects were approved by the park board during the Feb. 6 meeting.
"The projects tackle a variety of issues in the parks department and members of the board said they were impressed the Scouts all came up with good, unique projects.
"“I am more than impressed,” Board President Debbie Toedebusch said. “You guys should be commended. That was phenomenal.”
"Will Schriewer presented his plan to landscape the area around the Owens Monuments in Krog Park. Schriewer said he hopes the landscaping would draw more attention to the park and make it a more desirable destination.
"Schriewer said he would like to plant three dogwood trees, two new hostas, seven Boxwood shrubs and 11 black-eyed Susans — Washington’s official flower. He said future Scouts would help in maintenance of the landscaping.
"After the board praised Schriewer’s project, it was Matthew Sinnott’s turn to present." ~ Washington Missourian, By Joe Barker, Missourian Staff Writer Feb 20, 2014
