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.

I did read your post and I replied to it. If you read the entire article - it's pretty clear that water for dogs is not all that he's doing.

There is other renovation going on and things being repaired in that park as part of his project. The park will be a wonderful place for people and their pets when it is done. Even the city is helping with the funds that are needed.

Wish I could contact those 30 or 40 prospective Eagle Scouts and would bet you that they are not ribbing him about it. Especially any that have a pet.

What's with this focus on "dog's dishes"?
***Snyder plans to fill in the cracks in the dog park's concrete tables and then repaint the tables. He also wants to adorn the tables with painted paw prints and the names of dogs that regularly visit the park...Snyder said he came up with the idea for the leash holder when he noticed that people would hook their leashes into the fence and sometimes struggle to get them out.

Irwin said that if Snyder's idea for the leash holder works, the city may use it at other dog parks.***
Sounds like a most worthy Eagle project to me, the father of 2 Eagle Scouts.

I am with Lady J on this. The dog park we go to has a large number of elderly people that get to come exercise their dogs and socialize a little. This is a great project. On Sunday, a woman comes with a bag full of dog biscuits. It is a great social setting for her and she has a wonderful time giving treats to the dogs. Improving a dog park improves the community.

Lady J, we saw the cutest little mini daschund tonight at the dog park. Our female basset was quiet taken with him. Not much bigger than the basset's ear.
