Gavin's Eagle Project was to help the Greater Huntsville Humane Society earn food and supplies to service and feed the animals. He did a great job coordinating the efforts and had three weekends and two locations strategically on the Parkway in Huntsville; Hollywood Feed and Pet Supplies Plus. He coordinated with his troop to have Scouts at both locations in 2 hour shifts each weekend from 10am-2pm. It was in July in Alabama so super hot both days. He created a poster and had flyers made up with a QR code so people could donate online to a direct link for his Troop 361 to the Humane Society and had a list of products people could buy and directly donate. Any cash was used at the end of the weekend to purchase things on the Humane Society's list.
The first weekend he made $1000 which already exceeded the Humane Society's goal of $500 for the entire 3 weekends!
The second weekend he estimates at $1600. He had almost 200lbs of litter donated!
In total he earned more than $3500 worth of supplies for the Humane Society. This led him to get a job at Pet Supplies Plus which he started the weekend before his Senior year began.
