Will Brownfield's Eagle Project - Help Me Build a Gaga Pit for a Great School!

Posted on Jun 19 2025 - 4:34pm
Hi! My name is Will Brownfield and I’m 17 years old (but only for a few more weeks) and I’m taking the final steps toward earning my Eagle Scout Award, the highest rank in Scouting.
 
For my Eagle Scout Service Project, I’ll be building a Gaga Ball Pit for The Winston School, a school that specializes in supporting students with learning differences. Gaga Ball is a fast-paced, inclusive, and wildly fun game (kind of like dodgeball’s cooler cousin that everyone can enjoy). And yes, the name makes it sound like Lady Gaga invented it. Sadly, she didn’t but I bet she would approve of the project. 
 
Why this project? Well, The Winston School emphasizes community, inclusion, and physical activity, just like Scouts. A Gaga Pit gives students of all abilities a fun way to get moving, laugh, and build friendships. Plus, it’s way more fun than just sitting around at recess.
 
To make this project happen, I need to raise $2,500 to cover materials, construction, and other costs. I’ll be leading the planning, organizing, and building of the pit with the help of fellow Scouts and volunteers. But I need your help to turn this vision into a reality.
 
Whether you donate $5 or $25 every bit helps. Thank you so much for supporting my project and helping me reach this important milestone in Scouting and in life!  Please donate here.

Hey Troop!

I’m excited to get started on my Eagle Project and I would really appreciate your help THIS WEEKEND!

I’m building a Gaga Ball Pit for The Winston School, a school that supports students with learning differences. This project will give them an awesome new place to play during recess, and let’s be honest, Gaga Ball is just plain fun!

Work Day 1: We’ll be preparing all the materials by measuring, drilling sanding, and getting everything ready to build. ( Full)

Work Day 2: This is when we’ll assemble and install the pit! (Spaces Available)

Snacks and drinks will be provided. No badges for best shovel skills, but you will earn my eternal gratitude……..and maybe some pizza.

Please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B044FA9A928A1F85-57298042-gaga

Thanks so much for helping me bring this project to life. Let’s make recess legendary!—

Drew Baker Eagle Project GoFundMe

Posted on Jun 16 2025 - 9:58pm

My name is Drew Baker, and I am raising funds for my Eagle Scout Service Project.

Please consider supporting my project and donate here. 

The goal of my project is to improve and expand the sitting and viewing area next to the sand volleyball court outside the youth building of Dallas Bible Church. The area is currently poorly sloped towards the wall and has broken benches. I will be constructing an elevated crushed granite base with a wooden retaining wall for new, longer lasting furniture to be permanently set into. My project will help Dallas Bible Church, specifically the members of the youth group, as it will transform the area surrounding the volleyball court into a more suitable area for youth to spend time outside and with friends during youth events and throughout the week. This will be especially important in the coming spring and summer months as kids are far more eager to spend time outside.
