New Eagle in Castro Valley

Joshua Mitchell completed his Eagle Project at the United Methodist Church in Castro Valley on Wisteria Street so community members would have a nice place to sit and enjoy. Recruiting his scouts from Troop 701 to assist with the project, they removed the dead grass and a 2-inch layer of dirt to replace it with weed cloth, added mulch, and installed hangout tables. With all the volunteers and Joshua's time, this service project totaled around 200 volunteer hours. Joshua received his Eagle Rank on May 21, 2024. Joshua is graduating from Castro Valley High School and attending the University of Reno, Nevada in the Fall to pursue a degree in Engineering.
