Jimmy Boyle ‘22 wanted his Eagle Scout project to benefit Lancaster Catholic High School’s Athletic Department.
“An Eagle Scout project must be able to impact the community and show leadership,” said Boyle. “When I spoke with Mr. Hinnenkamp, he recommended that the trophy cases in the main lobby needed updating.”
Covered in layers of dust and grim, Crusader championship trophies dating back to the 1970s needed dusted and cleaned, while their display shelving was redesigned.
“My dad’s friend is a contractor,” said Boyle. “He was able to help us come up with a design for the trophies. The goal was to be able to fit as many trophies as we could onto the shelves.”
The trophy case was able to be transformed with the help of other Lancaster Catholic students.
“Over the summer, I was able to recruit a few of my friends to help me,” said Boyle. “ I was able to show them how to stain the new shelves and installing them.”
With a little under two months and hundreds of hours of work into the project, the renovated trophy case can be viewed, highlighting all of Lancaster Catholic’s victories over the years.
“I am very proud of what we were able to accomplish for the Athletic Department,” stated Boyle.
