Rain and Sun shelter canopy
Tube frame structure, covered with canvas tarp 10' by 10' or 10' by 20' adjacent to handicapped parking to shelter disables patients awaiting transportation in the sun or in the rain. Posts will need to be very securely anchored to the pavement and as yet unknown specifications may need to be met. They already have a larger, but similar structure in another location far from parking that meets the required specs, so I see no problem there. I am 75 years old and recently put one of these things up single handedly. crew with a bit of team-work can easily do a bang-up job of one. Suitable used frames are frequently available on craigslist.org and that is how I got mine and bolted it down to protect my tools long before finding this need for one. I can do the entire job myself, but want some scouts to get their feet wet, so to speak. (by the way, in the box below, "if" is misspelled as "it")

ADA complaint ramps
The Foundation for Senior Care provides many services to seniors and the disabled to help them live in their homes safely and to age in place with dignity . One of the requests we have is to build ramps so that a senior can get in and out safely from their home. We had a ministry of men who provided their time and expertise to building these ramps for our seniors, only charging for the cost of wood. If the senior did not have the income, which is usually about $350 - $450, for the ramp, the Foundation would try to obtain a benefactor. The builder who understands how to build the ramps to ADA code, is now a snow bird, but he would me more than happy to consult with anyone interested in building the ramps for our seniors.

New Dawn High School Garden & Turf Area Project
We would love assistance with our school Garden area. We are a Special Education/Social Emotional focused school where most of our students come from underprivilidged families and our students participate in maintaining the garden for therapy. We need help to prepare the garden and an area next to the garden. Our garden needs TLC. We already have planter boxes installed but the walkways inside the garden area are all mud and we would love assistance to get gravel and some pavers for stepping stones, possibly a large plastic shed to keep all of our supplies in. We already have a donation of used Astro Turf and we need to istall/lay it next to the garden area and need help with the work of installation and we would love to get some type of small gazebo/covering on the Astro Turf area so the students can sit and meditate or study or just have quite time in this area. My dad was a Scout Master in Clairemont and my brother was in Scouts and suggested that I contact your organization. We can assist with the underlayment cost for underneath the turf. We really appreciate your assistance with what ever you could help with. Thank you so much, and this would be such a blessing to these kids.

Clay Elementary Mobile Garden
With all the new regulations going into kids and school, we are hoping to extend our small school garden with 3-4 garden boxes that are on casters (wheels). These garden boxes will provide the opportunity to move to different parts of the campus during lunch time or outdoor events, can be reserved by different grade levels to use during science or special classroom activities, and can allow us to extend our garden space (which is very small and tucked in the back corner of our campus) to keep students at a safe distance apart while still being able to work outdoors in nature. Being a title 1 school, most of our students live in apartments and school is the only opportunity they have to grow their own food. We do not have funding for this project, but want it to happen so badly that we could try and help fund the project.

Refurbishment and decoration of an wooden card catalog to be used for a seed library. Our library is in the early stages of creating a seed library, modeled after the one at Ocean Beach Library. We have an old card catalog which, once refurbished, will house seeds from a seed company and also house seeds brought back to us by community gardeners. Patrons can come and "borrow" seeds and bring some back after the growing season. We will also have educational programs so community gardeners can learn and make the most of their backyard gardening endeavors.

Preschool projects
We have several projects that can be completed here at our Preschool. Primarily, we would like a couple of walkways/stairs on our grass field. When it rains, it gets extremely slippery and dangerous. A few people have fallen. The Eagle Scouts were kind enough to build us two bridges in the area, but now we need some stairs as well. Another project would be to build a mobile habitat/cage for our bearded dragon and or completing the habitat for our tortoise. The final and least pressing project would be to help design/ build a small natural play structure to put onto our playground. We would be so grateful for any of these projects to be undertaken by the Eagle Scouts.
