Jacob’s Mural

He finished his eagle project!  Jacob worked with the Colorado Police Depart and planned a mural along the Santa Fe Trail.  People are less likely to paint graffiti on walls that have murals.  They respect the mural.  SO he designed and painted a mural of scouts looking at an EAGLE.  :)

Jacob was able to get paint donations from Home Depot.  Friends came and painted over other walls by the mural and helped pick up trash along the trail.  Jacob arranged for pizza on the day everyone came.  Nathan was so good to help Jacob, hopefully he will help Nathan with his project.

Stephen was good to document the process on his cell phone.

The mural looks awesome!  Bikers and runners were always quick to comment on the painting.  It was a fun project for Jacob, and now he is DONE!  So proud of him!

What a great idea for an Eagle project. It's not easy to paint large scale like that... really impressive!
