Oscar III Eagle Project

March 5, 2011

Oscar, aka Otown, aka Lil O, decided for his Eagle Project to make Child Identification Cards.  The cards would have a picture of the child, fingerprints, height, weight, hair and eye color, and a place for other pertinent information.  His goal was to have these made for parents to have on hand for 72 hour kits and in case of an emergency.  He worked hard to get the word out to all those family's in our stake, and he ended up having a good turnout. 

He is an example of one of the ways he got word out.  He made these and put them in the foyer on each side of the chapels in our stake.  He also connected via email all the Relief Society presidents and Elder's Quorum presidents to announce in their wards.

Here is Oscar with our friend Josh Tuft the night before the project.  Josh was so helpful with the technology side of things.  He got him set up with WebCams, a color printer, and he agreed to come help out the day of.  Here he is showing him how everything is going to work, THANK YOU JOSH!!!

 This is the morning of getting everything set up before everyone arrives *smile*

Oscar was able to get some local companies to donate to his Eagle Project and made a poster displaying those companies.  (Forsgren Associates, Legacy Lending, and Washington Trust Bank)

Here Oscar is showing some of the volunteers how to run the program set up to take the pictures of the children and enter the necessary information before printing.

Using the webcam to take their pictures.  This is our friend The Warrick's daughter, she did great!

Fingerprinting station....

Measuring station for height and weight.

 Here parents filled out the individual information about each of their children, like eye and hair color etc.

 Waiting to have picture taken and information entered into the computer.

 Fingerprinting....

 This is how Oscar had the baby's fingerprints taken, very messy, but effective *smile*

 More data entry..

 This is the laminating and cutting station.

 

He even had a place for the children to wait and watch a movie.

I was very pleased with the way he had things organized and how it all came together.  He did an AMAZING job!  His goal has always been to complete his Eagle Project while 13 years old.  He had his board of view April 6th the day before his 14th birthday!  He is now and Eagle Scout!  Great Job Oscar!  We are all so very proud of you! *smile*
