Boy Scout Eagle or Girl Scout Gold Award Projects

The Friends of Jefferson Barracks has been a strong supporter of Boy Scout and Girl Scout Activities. Through the years numerous scouts have completed projects in the park that helped them meet the requirements for these awards.

Boy Scout Eagle and Girl Scout Gold Award Projects


 

The Friends of Jefferson Barracks and St. Louis County Parks are avid supporters of the Boy Scout Eagle and Girl Scout Gold Award projects in Jefferson Barracks Park. A project gives the Scout an opportunity to plan, develop, and provide leadership to others. All projects are evaluated as to how they benefit the organization being served, and, on the leadership provided by the candidate. If you have an idea for a scout project call the JB History office at 314-615-8800.
