Troop 110 and the Eagle Scout Project
Troop 110 began as the first Boy Scout unit in Perrysburg, Ohio, in 1921. The troop, in cooperation with multiple city officials and religious institutions, has maintained a high profile of public service throughout its history. Eagle Scout is the highest attainable rank within the Boy Scouts of America. A rigorous final requirement in the acquisition of Eagle Scout is leading a service project to benefit the community as a whole. The true beneficiary of this project, however, is the honor of the American Flag.
Sponsors
This project was managed by Alexander Klosterman, resident of Perrysburg and member of Troop 110. Special thanks are due to the business sponsors, volunteers, and City of Perrysburg officials who made this project possible.
