Eagle Scout Creates a Buzz at the Fairfield Museum and History Center Written by BS Troop 90
Fairfield, CT - BSA Troop 90 is pleased to announce its latest Eagle Scout, Adam Jehle!
For Adam’s Eagle Scout Project, he created a garden at the Fairfield Museum and History Center, along with support from Troop 90 and the Sasqua Garden Club. Inspired by the plight of endangered bee populations, Adam decided to plant a pollinator garden to help them out. “My project really helped me understand the declining bee population crisis and find effective ways to help the environment,” said Adam. “I’m glad I was able to complete this project with the Boy Scouts, since they are an organization who has taught me many things over the years.”
