My name is Alex Schott, and I’m a 17-year-old Life Scout and am part of Troop 15 in Shaker Heights. I live in Shaker Heights and go to University School where I run track and cross country.

I am currently working toward the rank of Eagle Scout. The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest rank in scouting and achieving it requires me to plan and lead a project. For my Eagle Scout Service Project, I am partnering with the Shaker Historical Society to build a brand-new garbage shed that will house their outdoor trash and recycling bins.

The Shaker Historical Society plays an important role in preserving the rich history of our community while also hosting events and programs that bring people together. Right now, their garbage bins are exposed and unsightly, creating both an eyesore and a potential mess. My project will provide a clean, secure, and more attractive storage solution that will benefit the Society, its visitors, and our neighborhood.

I’m asking for your support to help cover the cost of materials, tools, and supplies for construction. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference and brings me one step closer to completing this project and earning the rank of Eagle Scout.

Funds will be used for:

Lumber and building materials
Hardware and fasteners
Stain and protective sealants
Tools

Thank you again,

Alex Schott
