Evan Acker earned his Boy Scouts of America Eagle designation last summer. Evan’s Eagle project involved refreshing and planting new vegetation in the Victory Garden Veteran’s Plaza at Spring Canyon Park in Fort Collins. This project had special meaning for Evan, as he had participated in previous ceremonies in the Plaza as a Boy Scout, in particular the soils ceremony held on Memorial Day.
Evan reached out to the Veteran’s Plaza committee and got approval to refresh the victory garden which he did over a three-weekend span. In addition, Evan led two scout volunteer troops to escort veterans on Memorial Day and add soils from areas around the world where American soldiers have served. Great job, Evan.
