<"Sorry Scouting is about "People" not dogs.

Fixing a couple of freaking dog dishes doesn't even rate as a project for Eagle Scout, unless they have lowered the standards to the point where buying a homeless drunk a beer elevates us all to The Sainted Mother Theresa.

If I am wrong, so be it, at least I am Honest enough to tell you about it.">

It IS about people and the pets they love. I have two mini dachshund pups. I have no fenced yard and I walk them on a leash.

I took them for the first time to the dog park where they could run free with me. It was a highlight in my life to watch them race across the grass and love the freedom they never experienced in their little lives.

I was a den mother and had an Eagle Scout who faithfully worked with our boys each week. I commend this young man for choosing this as his project.

To bring up buying a homeless drunk a beer to compare what he is doing is beyond belief!! Clean water is a necessity in a dog park.

Either the city should not have the dog park or it should be properly maintained. The young man made the right choice in my opinion.

Please see my posts that follow and understand that "I" understand that an Eagle Scout is not a 10 year old.

Watering Dogs at the Park is fine for a Cub Scout, 4H or a Children's Church Bible Study Group.

His task (the water for dogs) is an improvement of a facility and worthy of comment, little else. I doubt it if there were 30 or 40 other prospective Eagle Scouts doing anything but ribbing him about it.
