On January 7, 2012, Boy Scouts of America Troop 303 of Orinda honored its three newest Eagle Scouts with an Eagle Court of Honor held at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Orinda.
For his Eagle project, Raj Bains built six Points of Interest signs to identify various landmarks throughout the Wagner Ranch Nature area in Orinda. Raj also built a Directory Kiosk at the entrance of the nature trail for visitors to obtain directions to navigate through the nature area. From the engineering drawings to permits, construction, and final implementation, the project took over 300 hours and 35 volunteers to complete.
Raj is a Freshman at University of Southern California.
Mikk Eerik Otsmaa's Eagle Project was to design, build and install a large garden arbor for the Orinda Senior Village. The redwood arbor is 12'x8'x8' and is stained with a clear finish. Located at the gated entrance of the Orinda Senior Village garden, the arbor provides beauty and shade.
The project required architectural plans along with approval and permits from Contra Costa County, the City of Orinda Planning Dept. and the Central Contra Costa Sanitation District. Over 350 planning and execution hours were spent on this project. Mikk is a Senior at Miramonte High School in Orinda.
Brandt Martin Sheets' Eagle project involved remodeling the playground at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church Preschool in Orinda. The project included replacing wood playground chips with recycled rubber chips, assembling a picnic table, and refurbishing four large doors for the church. The project took a total of 196 hours and 30 volunteers. Brandt is a senior at Miramonte High School in Orinda.
