Siemens receives grant for Eagle Scout project

Press release

Life Scout Jackson Siemens of ScoutsBSA Troop 1438 has received a grant from Hill County Community Foundation to help replace a sign at Rotary Park in Havre.

Late last year, the Hill County Community Foundation of the Montana Community Foundation announced the yearly grant awardees. One of those recipients is First Lutheran Church of Havre for ScoutsBSA Troop 1438. The $500 grant was written by Jackson to help fund his Eagle Scout Service project. The funds will be used to replace a broken sign at Rotary Park here in Havre.

To earn the Eagle rank, scouts are required to plan, develop, lead and complete a service project. Jackson has selected the project of replacing the current broken sign that is located on the northwest corner of the park. While this grant of $500 will not pay for the entire sign, it does help significantly. Jackson said the he was thankful and appreciative of the selection of his grant.

Jackson has been a member of Troop 1438 for the past six years. He has held multiple leadership positions in the troop including quartermaster, den chief, patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader and senior patrol leader.

Troop 1438 is chartered by First Lutheran Church and meets every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at First Lutheran.
