Juan Rodriguez, a member of Troop 221 in Parma, Ohio, joined Scouts BSA in the sixth grade without prior Cub Scouting experience. Juan quickly excelled, earning the Fishing merit badge on his first campout.
That kind of determination led Juan to pursue the path to Eagle Scout. He says he viewed it as an asset for his future goal of joining the Army as a mechanic. We’re happy to report that he made it. His Eagle Scout service project involved constructing an oversized chair promoting his troop at a local splash park.
After completing the chair, Juan received positive feedback from peers and teachers alike. In this story from the Parma Sun Post, Juan describes his Scouting journey as a rewarding and challenging experience, emphasizing the satisfaction of seeing his hard work pay off.
