Rocky Branch Park continues to grow thanks to the incredible dedication of our community’s young leaders! 🙌
A huge THANK YOU to Cooper Saas for his outstanding Eagle Scout project. Another wonderful addition to Rocky Branch Park that our whole community can enjoy for years to come.
Cooper joins a proud tradition of Eagle and Boy Scouts who have poured their time, talent, and hard work into making this park a better place for all of us. These projects don’t just improve the park, they reflect the character and commitment of the young people behind them.
We are so grateful, Cooper. Congratulations on a job well done! 🦅⚜️ if you have not donated, please check the link in bio to cover Coopers material costs and support future projects in the park.

Update from Cooper Saas on the Eagle Scout Project:

We’re a little over one month in and so far we’ve…

Transported and installed over 18,000 pounds of material

We have had more than 30 people volunteer more than 400 hours

We have raised over 3000$

We are hoping to have project close to being done after our last workday this Saturday

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already made amazing progress on this project. We’re still raising funds to fully complete it, and any additional support would go a long way in helping us finish strong and leave a lasting impact. Thank you!

Cooper Saas is a local Eagle Scout who spends a lot of time at Rocky Branch Park, whether it is hiking, walking, or biking. As his Eagle Scout project, he's chosen to give back to the community by improving the park for everyone to enjoy.

You may have already noticed construction underway near the Outpost trails. Cooper is building a new observation deck overlooking the trails, and he needs your support to fund the materials to make it happen.

Check out his video below, and please consider donating if you're able to!
