Eagle Scout Service Project #64

Jacob Abrams Completes His WOW ESSP!!!

It’s not very often that we see a young man tackle his Eagle Scout Service Project (ESSP) at the age of twelve years old. Jacob Abrams completed his requirements with the WOW program for his ESSP in less than 30 days from contacting me…WOW!!! Go Jacob….Go Troop 750!!!

Jacob has committed to doing a little write up, explaining the details of this service project; We will then post this story, along with some pictures and a short YouTube video.

Hats off to this young man and his supporters for contributing twelve boxes to the Wild Over Wood (WOW) Duck Nesting Program.

Cheers,

Carl B Taylor

I’m an assistant professor at Utah State University and have been an avid waterfowl hunter throughout my life. In a nutshell, my research program is focused on the factors that affect how many ducks and geese are produced, and fly south each year. Students and I are currently involved in collaborative projects studying snow geese, bluebills, redheads, pintails, and wood ducks in Cache Valley.
