Eagle Scout Project Houses Tortoises

Boy Scout Troop 2 member Lucas Soulby recently completed his Eagle Scout project to the benefit of his alma mater, Assumption Catholic School. The school has two tortoises, Shelly and Sheldon, who reside in its garden and were in need of a permanent shelter. Soulby met with science teacher Bill Hawthorn to design a plan that would meet the needs of the campus tortoises. He then designed, fundraised and constructed the shelter on campus, giving the tortoises a new home and a place for the students to interact with them.
