For his Eagle project, Nils supported the Avon High School athletics department. His project digitized all photographs of sports teams and records compiling them into a slide show that can be updated by the school for no cost. In addition, he built three TV protection cases to house the TVs displaying the slideshows and he restored the photo boards and photo plaques that have historically been displayed in the school. Through this project, all teams can now have their photos displayed and records can be updated easily. This project will save the school and booster club nearly $4,000 on an annual basis to update photographs and records.

For his Eagle project, Jack helped the Avon Parks and Recreation department.
On a Fisher Meadows area trail, he repaired three bridges in poor condition.
The surrounding ground had eroded away around them and two had rotted from the passage of time and exposure to the elements. Therefore, he added ramps to the first bridge to help the elderly and disabled cross. Then, he removed the other two and replaced them with completely new bridges (ramps included). The greatest problem he encountered was experiencing the frequent flooding that caused the original bridges to erode. Luckily, pressured treated wood and cement support beams will make sure the new bridges stand the rest of time.

For lan's Eagle Project, he installed a flagpole and developed a brick walkway and sitting area in front of the Avon Police Department.

Liam's Eagle project produced a Mobile Lending Library for Gaffney Elementary School in New Britain. He collected over 1000 books through an internet based drive and sorted them by reading level and classroom usability. He then labeled them and put them on a book cart which he had painted blue. The books went in bins and on the bins went labels for the sake of easy location of different levels. Finally, he inventoried the books so the teacher can keep track of what is owed.

For his Eagle scout project Jacob worked with the VFW by creating a database documenting the West Avon Cemetery. This database was turned into a website that will help people navigate and find people inside of the cemetery. This project will also help the VFW honor military veterans by making it easier to find and locate deceased veterans in the cemetery with its map.

For his Eagle project Andrew supported the Avon Crew team which he was a part of throughout High School. The project was to build a Boardwalk for the crew team so the rowers could protect their feet before going onto the water. Batterson Park has considerable debris on the sand which could injure the rowers if stepped on. Another benefit the boardwalk provided was knocking the sand off of the rowers feet before getting in the boat. Sand in the boats can cause damage to them so by having a place for the rowers to wipe their feet kept the sand out and the boats clean.

Alex's Eagle project was in support of the Governor's First Horseguard in Avon. The scope of his project was to clear 75 lengths of fence from the dense brush that surrounded it, then paint those lengths of fence, as well as build two slab style benches for public viewing of Horse Guard activities.
