Eagle Scout Project at Miller Park in Shrewsbury, PA

Thanks to the efforts of Life Scout, Daniel Snyder, Miller Park now has parking spaces clearly identified.  Daniel is a 17-year old Life Scout in Boy Scout Troop 24, which is sponsored by the New Freedom Lions Club.  Currently he is finishing up the requirements for the Eagle Scout rank while studying in a homeschool program, working at Freedom Armory, and playing soccer for Susquehannock High School.  Having 4 younger siblings who play sports for local youth sports organizations, Daniel has been to Miller Park on numerous occasions and noticed that parking lines would help maximize the number of vehicles able to park in the lot.  Seeing this as a way to help the community, he decided to paint lines on the parking lot as part of his Eagle Scout project.   He also painted parking lines and built an information signs at a park in New Freedom Borough.  With the help of the Scouts from his troop and his family, he was able to paint the Miller Park lot over two days.  Daniel stated, "This project helped me to appreciate the many steps involved in bringing a community project to completion.  I am very grateful for the assistance of Shrewsbury Township.  It has been a great experience!"
