East Bay Stand Down 2014
Eagle Scout Veterans History Project
Chris Behring and fellow scouts from Troop 805 are interviewing ESBD Veterans about their military experience. The Veteran History Project is in conjunction with the Library of Congress. The videotapes from this project will be stored at the
Smithsonian.
The Eagle Scouts participating in this project will learn organizational and leadership skills as they contact, research and facilitate the interviews, manage administrative and legal forms,
initiate the project and write and execute the plan. Prior to the
EBSD the entire project was written and mock interviews were
conducted.

The Eagle Scout Project also includes fund raising to support
EBSD. To date Chris Behring has presented EBSD $11,000 as
the result of his efforts.
