"My name is Josh McMullens and I was a resident at Turning Winds Academic Institute from June 2010 to June 2011. I arrived at the school with several goals in mind, but one was to complete an Eagle Project for the Boys Scouts of America. In early October, after establishing a good amount of trust, I met with John Baisden Sr. and started planning my project. I decided to build five heavy- duty picnic tables and ten separate benches for the school. Throughout the following months, I would work to organize an adult supervisor and crew of boys from the school to go and do the work. A member of the community offered the use of the shop at his home to do the project. I completed my project in the first week of June. On September 21, 2011, I had my Eagle Board of Review and passed. I would like to thank my parents, friends at Turning Winds, and the staff (especially John Sr.) for all of their help and support. I am now an Eagle Scout!"
Many Thanks,
Josh McMullens
