Eagle Project
I heard a great story in church today about Coby’s eagle project. I wrote a blog post a while ago about his eagle project just in case you want to read more about what he did. In general, his project was organized to hand out a free copy of a web filter to anyone in our Stake. He burned 100 copies of this filter and handed them out at different wards in our stake. The filter is called K9 web filter.This all happened probably a year and a half ago.
K9 Web Filter
So, today my friend came up to me and told me that when he left from church after hearing about the free web filter, he picked up a copy. He wasn’t sure if he would ever use it but he took it home and he put in a drawer. Several months later he was surfing around the internet and came across a bad website which caused many other website to pop up on his screen. He was appalled. He remembered Coby’s Eagle project and dug through his drawer for the CD. He found the CD, installed it, and said that he hasn’t had a problem since.
What a great success story for an Eagle Project that finished over a year ago. Great Job Coby!

Even if the project only helped that one guy…….it was worth it.
Nice job.
“While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership
to others in a service project helpful to your religious institution”
Curious to know how this met the requirement of ‘give leadership to others’ when Cody was the only one involved in it? I assume there must have been more than burning and passing out a pile of CD’s?
Sounds like a great idea though!
Thanks for you comment. Yes, Coby was able to schedule a meeting with the leaders in our stake and gave a presentation to all of the bishops to see if they would like to be involved and how many CD’s they would like to have. He also organized his scout troop and several adult leaders and spent several hours having leaders and scouts burn CD’s. The scouts printed and cut out instruction manuals, and then distributed the cd’s to the people of the stake.
