Eagle Scout project benefits CPS
T ru m an G abriel, a 15-
y ear-o ld m em b er o f Boy
S co u t T ro o p 728 o u t o f
Beaverton, has completed a
service project for Children’s
Protective Services o f Warm
Springs.
T he service project was
part o f Truman’s quest to be
com e an Eagle Scout, the
h ig h e st ra n k in th e Boy
Scouts o f America.
To achieve this aw ard,
Truman had to plan and com
plete a service project for a
non-profit organization. The
purpose o f this service project
was to showcase his abilities,
as a leader and also benefit the
chosen organization.
Truman, a sophomore at
Westview High School, pro
vided 50-plus care packages
and assorted items for chil
dren entering foster care.
H e gathered the contents
o f th e care packages, as
sembled the packages, and
delivered them to Children’s
Protective Services in Warm
Springs last month.
Trum an recruited family
members, neighbors, friends,
and fellow troop members to
help distribute fliers, collect
donated goods, and assemble
CPS for his project.”
Hager added, “T rum an’s
enthusiasm and desire to help
others is evident by his posi
tive attitude, and,his commit
m ent and follow through. He
delivered on his promise to
com plete this p ro ject in a
timely manner with the help
o f his family and friends.” I
Tribal Council last week
approved the construction
o f a new building to house
Warm Springs Protective
Services. The new build
ing will be located near the
clinic.
CPS and H ealth and
H u m an S ervices have
been planning this project
for some time. For the past
several years the depart
m en t has been p u ttin g
money aside with the goal
o f d ev eloping th e new
home.
Thenew building will be
o n 2.5 acres, allow ing
room for expansion some
day in the future.
Randy Scott, Land Ser
vices administrator, made
the presentation at Coun
cil last week.
T he project has been
advertised to the commu
nity, and the zoning is ap
propriate for the CPS use,
Scott said.
