My name is Ben Jacob, I am currently a Senior at Plano Senior High School. I’ve been a member of Boy Scout Troop 1001 in Richardson, Texas since 2017 and I’m very excited to be starting my Eagle Scout Service Project. This project will be serving the Adaptive Training Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to empower the human athlete, restore hope through movement, and redefine the limits of individuals with disabilities. This non-profit has truly made a life changing difference in many different people’s lives including my own and I am beyond excited to have an opportunity to give back to this organization. This non-profit offers customized adaptive training and mental health support to veterans and civilians with life-altering injuries. 

A little bit about the project: The project will be building customized storage lockers for a therapy room for the gym. The "ReCharge Room" is the therapy room inside the gym where the class of athletes sits together and are taken through mindfulness, breathing work, and meditation before and after each workout. The storage lockers being built for this project will be a much needed piece of furniture for the ReCharge Room that will include storage cubbies for each of the athletes as well as space for the A/V equipment to be mounted in a safe way and allow safe movement throughout the room. 

Not only will this project benefit the athletes and staff of the Adaptive Training Foundation, but it will allow the Scouts involved in building the project to fulfill part of the Scout Oath which challenges them to ‘do my best to do my duty to God and my country’. The majority of the athletes served at ATF are veterans, so this project provides an incredible opportunity to give back to those who sacrificed so much to ensure our country’s freedom.

Please consider donating and/or volunteering on this project as it would go a long way to helping ATF further their impact and growing the character of the young men and women working on this.
