Rocco Pasquarella, a 17-year-old Scout from Boca Troop 323 in Boca Raton, Florida, led a project to build an outdoor washing station at Tri-County Animal Rescue in Boca Raton.
This service project is part of his journey to earn Eagle Scout. Rocco and his troop spent about 400 hours preparing for the project. They completed it in two days and the wash station has been a significant help to the shelter.
The new station replaces an old wash tub and is now used frequently to clean rescued dogs. Rocco has also donated $500 in leftover project funds to the shelter.
