TROOP 323 · BOCA RATON, FLORIDA

A place to rest.
A way to
give back.

I’m Jack Cavanagh. I’m leading a team to build a shaded rest area for the people who give their time and hearts to Tri County Animal Rescue.

Led by a Scout.
Made possible by a community.

A little comfort for the people who care for animals every day.

01 / THE PROJECT

Caring for those
who care for
the animals.

A shady spot. A muddy problem.
A practical way to help.

After rain, the rescue’s existing shaded area becomes muddy and difficult to use. My project will turn this approximately 30-by-30-foot space into a gravel rest area with a timber border and two picnic bench kits—a place for staff to enjoy lunch and train new workers and volunteers.

It was always
going to be
about dogs.

Dog Care was my very first merit badge.

I have three dogs at home, and one more who will always have a place in my heart—in puppy heaven. Dogs have always been part of my life. When it came time to choose my Eagle Scout project, I knew I wanted to help them.

I’ve volunteered at other Eagle projects at Tri County Animal Rescue over the years. Now it’s my turn to lead a project that gives back to the rescue and the people who care for its animals.

ServiceLeadershipKindness

With guidance from my Eagle Scout coach, Kirk Milner, and the support of Troop 323, I’m turning a lifelong love of dogs into something lasting.

THE SPACE / THE POSSIBILITY

Same shade.
A fresh start.

A gravel surface, a defined border, and a welcoming place to take a break.
