Jacob Beautifies Vilas Zoo

On August 7, 2008 Jacob passed his Eagle Board of Review. Jacob led 14 Scouts/Parents for 2 days installing new landscaping at the Henry Villas Zoo, entrance # 9. They planted 6 trees and placed mulch around those trees. A total of 59.5 hours were spent working on this project. Jacob loves animals and is thinking about choosing that as his career. The Zoo has been updating many of the shelters for the animals over the last few years. Jacob’s project will further the updating to the entrance of the park. The Zoo has free admission and must rely on donations to operate. Jacob encourages you to visit the zoo if it has been some time since you went. An Eagle Ceremony was held at the United Methodist Church on October 12, 2008 where Jacob was awarded his Eagle Scout Rank.
