I have officially earned the rank of Eagle Scout!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone and my Troop 874 that has helped me throughout my Scouting Career. I couldn’t have done this without your help and support. I appreciate everyone that has followed Operation Ice Eagle and helped me with accomplishing this goal.

Thank you again for everything.

Thank you to News Center Maine and Sam Olsen for coming out yesterday and doing a very well-put-together story on the ice fishing shelter. I really appreciate your help getting the word out to the veteran community that this resource is now available to them.

The shack is ADA-compliant and can fit up to five people total, with two spots accessible for wheelchairs.

This is the day we have all been waiting for! I am proud to say with the help from the community that we have officially completed the shelter.

This shelter will give many of Maine's veterans and first responders the chance to make memories with each other in the coming years.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me throughout my project. I couldn’t have done it without anyone of you!

We are en route for deployment! Tomorrow we present the project to the veterans of Maine. Nearly 3 years in the making, and we are finally done!

Huge, thank you to my Boy Scout Troop and my Dad for helping me with my build today. Then also staying later after the set time for the build to help me finish the railings!

My team and I were able to finish the detachable railings that connect to the platform. The railings being detachable will allow for easy storage for both the platform and railings.

I am super lucky to have such an amazing group of people supporting me throughout my project!

We just got snow! Hopefully, the water will freeze for ice fishing. Can’t wait to be out there with everyone!

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone from my troop and my family who helped me yesterday with my build!

We were able to finish a platform that will connect to the ramp. This will allow the doors of the ice fishing shelter to open and close without the railings being in the way. Thank you to Mom, Dad, and my Troop for helping me last night before the rain!

I am very lucky to have such an amazing team that is supporting me!

Today we picked up the shelter from Time4printing and we are happy to say the wrap looks amazing!

We have been working with Time4printing for some time now and they have been awesome to work with. In addition to designing installing this wrap, Time4Printing has graciously donated $2,000 towards the completion of the project!

Thank you again to Time4printing and Ms. Hamaty for all the help they have given us! This donation will allow us to come closer to the end of the project.
