Anthony Lusby with Troop 88 in Woodstock, Virginia, dedicated his Eagle Scout service project to Domestic Violence Awareness Month by creating a safe zone for online marketplace transactions and other in-person interactions.
After a year of planning, Anthony set up designated parking spots in the county sheriff’s office parking lot for buyers, sellers, child custody exchanges and others in the community. He collaborated with the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office, which supported the initiative and recognized its community importance.
The project aims to enhance safety for vulnerable individuals and promote youth leadership.
“I feel like this will give people the opportunity to have a safer place to meet up and prevent crimes [from] happening,” Anthony said.

Scout assembles van port for service project
Colton Debish with Troop 280 in Dripping Springs, Texas, recently completed his Eagle Scout project by constructing a two-stall van port for the Burke Center for Youth in Driftwood, Texas.
The Burke Center for Youth is a residential treatment center for boys who are unable to live in a family setting.
Over seven weeks, he led a team of Scouts and volunteers to build the 12-foot-high structure, which provides shelter for two passenger vans. The project required careful planning and safety precautions due to its height and the use of power tools.
Colton and his team dedicated 241 hours to the project, emphasizing the significance of teamwork and community support and the valuable leadership and life skills that Scouting imparts.
“I learned to make a plan, create the right team, and work through challenges together,” Colton said. “The support from adults and others is priceless.”
