Eagle Project of the Year

We are excited to announce the Eagle Project of the Year! Ian McLain of Troop 330 and his project 'Remembering Our Heroes' has been selected as the 2023 Greater Los Angeles Scouting Eagle Project of the Year. Ian's Eagle Project was to raise awareness, remembrance, and honor our fallen service members. He went about this by raising funds to re-press 5,575 dog tags of all the fallen service members from the state of California who served in the Vietnam War. With those dog tags, Ian went to several events where he educated and shared the adopt-a-tag process so those fallen service members would never be forgotten. Through Ian's project, he worked with 340 volunteers both from Scouting and our veteran communities. With all their help and Ian's leadership, 1,199.5 hours of work was executed to complete this impactful project.

We are more than excited to nominate Ian for this award at the National level and provide him with a $500 scholarship.



Congratulations Ian! We can't wait to see what you accomplish next!
