Brennan Chan Eagle Project

Message:

My name is Brennan Chan and I'm a Life Scout of Troop 918. One of the requirements to become an Eagle Scout is to show leadership by giving back to one's community.

I am currently in 12th grade and have attended Saddleback Church since 6th grade. The church has helped quite a few of the friends I've had, and it has inspired me to begin helping others. I'm incredibly passionate about the welfare of animals, as I am a proud owner of a Wheaten Terrier today. Ever since I got my dog, I have realized that there are pets that are less fortunate than Chewie. My Eagle Scout project just happened to be the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Specifically, I am organizing a supply drive for my local animal shelter, the Irvine Animal Care Center. They're in need of pet supplies and they have sent me a wishlist as well.

Message:

Scout age boys grow fast! They typically grow out of their uniforms before they are worn out. If you have a uniform that you have outgrown, consider donating it to the Troop Thrift so that someone else can benefit.
