Retired American Flag Program | Each Veterans Day, the 11th grade hosts a Veterans Day luncheon and a flag retirement ceremony. The community donates on average 60-70 flags in need of retirement. The number grows each year. We would love to have a receptacle to put donations in as they arrive. It would be nice if we can place it in the parking lot of a local business that is visible to the entire community. It would need to be secured to the concrete in some way as well as keep the flags protected from the weather and theft. Maybe some form of mailbox drop box we can access with a key with a drop bin for the donors. | N/A | ||

Amite River Wildlife Sanctuary | Additional Project: Build a 4x4' signboard on posts for our trailhead at the sanctuary. It should be constructed from treated wood and be painted to match our kiosk. This signboard will hold maps, rules and other pertinent information for visitors. The sanctuary is located at 45141 Manny Guitreau Rd. Prairieville, LA. | N/A | ||

Original Project: The most pressing need is to install bog bridges over wet areas on the trails so that visitors have access to the entire area. These bog bridges are fairly simple designs. Basically, for a 12-foot section, 3 pressure treated 6x6” posts are laid on the ground. They are held in place with 3’ pieces of rebar. Then pressure-treated 2x12” planks are laid across them and bolted into place. There are at least 4 places where we have an immediate need. We also need a couple of small bridges built but that may be a more serious undertaking. A scout could do one bridge or several as a part of their project. |
