Tim Harris from Troop 88 in Lexington has delivered a set of display cases to the museum. The cases designed by Harris and built by a group of local scouts fulfilled the service project requirement of Harris' Eagle Scout rank.

The two display cases and four display pedestals are a welcome addition to the museum. In the coming months they will be installed throughout the museum. The cases will be added to the upcoming "Age of the Mammoth" display featuring our resident mammoth "Big Al" and the pedestals will be used with other exhibits.

Eagle Scouts are the high rank possible through the Boys Scouts of America. It takes considerable time, determination, and effort to reach the Eagle. Only about two of every 100 boys entering the scouting program will go on to reach the Eagle. The service component of the Eagle rank requires the boy to plan and carry out a beneficial project utilizing the volunteer efforts and donations. It challenges the scouts to use critical thinking, planning, and leadership skills.

Everyone at the DCHS thanks Tim for his generous contribution and congratulates him on his upcoming Eagle Court of Honor.
