Suffield Community Aid (SCA) is a health service, social services and a "local safety net" that provides assistance to households in need. A Scout led a team to build a community garden for SCA. It boasts 8 raised garden beds filled with soil, a protective fence, and a gravel pathway. The SCA now grows vegetables and other plants in the garden

In 2021, the Suffield Land Conservancy purchased property adjacent to Suffield High School with the intent to create a Outdoor Education Center for the town and students. Over the last few years they have hosted school district events, built birdwatching towers, trails, bridges and shelters. However, a major component was the fact that there was no area or spot to show the property map, along with promotional information. My project fulfilled that need. I designed a custom kiosk and ordered it through a timber company, along with a recycled plastic picnic table. I then solicited help and lead a team comprised of nearly 20 Scouts, Scouters, students and family to clear out a 300 square foot area from brush, small trees and bushes. I then led the team to level the area, lay and stake fabric in the ground to prevent plant growth, and build the kiosk to be put in place. Then I solicited a former commercial painter to stain the kiosk to ensure it is protected from the elements. Gravel was then laid around the area. For decorative purposes, a small wall was placed in the back.
