Scouts in
The Courtyard





Life Scout
Matthew (Matt) Ryan
completed his Eagle Scout project
in the Adobe courtyard
in 2006
just before the
New Years holiday


An Eagle Scout project is designed to demonstrate leadership skills by planning and carrying out a community service project. Matt's two-part project consisted of building a new table for our school outreach program and refurbishing a peddler's cart we use at various events.



First, Matt, a member of Troop 103 in Ventura, approached us to asses our needs, then drew a plan. After the proposed plan was approved, Matt drew a materials list and rounded up a few friends to raise funds with a weekend car wash.

Next, he purchased materials and constructed the table in modules in his driveway. Then, he and his friends Michael Ray, Halen Buker, Weston Buker, Harrison Buker, Eric Dilley, Paul Linman, William Osman and brother, Mike Ryan, moved into the courtyard and went to work

They assembled the various modules of the table, painted it and set it in place

Then, on to phase two. The peddler's cart had to be completely disassembled and stripped of its rotted parts.

The Scouts sanded the usable parts - -

- - then replaced the rotted wood, reassembled the cart and painted it.

As the last step, Matt completed his written project plan and submitted it to the BSA for final approval

We are indebted to Matt, his friends and Scout leaders Bob Ryan and Steven Osman for their efforts in bringing this mutually beneficial project to fruition.
