Dante Di Turi Eagle Scout Project
With about 18 months of planning, and a month to complete his project, Dante Di Turi, a boy scout from Chatham Twp. Boy Scout Troop 121, recently completed his BSA Service Project, which is the last step to becoming an Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout is the highest achievement or rank attainable in the Scouts BSA program of the Boy Scouts of America.
For his service project Dante renovated and refurbished the old snack shed and bathrooms at Nash Field in Chatham. The space has been renamed the Nash Field Clubhouse.
A large part of a BSA Service Project is raising funds and recruiting volunteers and leading them through the project.
The local Ace Hardware and Dreyer Lumber were very helpful with materials and supplies, especially Ace Hardware.
Dante had help Chatham Twp. Boy Scout Troops 121 and Troop 8, and Madison’s troop 7. He also recruited Key Club members from Chatham High School and some adult volunteers as well.
