Some of you might remember Rex Anderson. Rex will be a Senior this year so that means he left us in 2013. Since Rex left SMS, he has kept active in the Boy Scouts and has been working his way up to Eagle Scout. One of the criteria to become an Eagle Scout is to complete an Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project. Rex came to us last year and asked if we would consider letting him come up with a service project that would benefit the staff and students of Sparta Middle School. We jumped at the opportunity and were excited to see what he would come up with.
The Eagle Scout Service Project, or more simply the Eagle Scout Project, is the opportunity for a Boy Scout, Varsity Scout or qualified Venturer in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of his community.

The guidelines for this project are very specific and structured. If you would like to read more about the scouts or the leadership project here are a couple of informative links.
