Jackson Wagner of Hicksville recently earned his Eagle Scout with a project involving Christ\u2019s Cupboard. Jackson started his scouting journey as a cub scout with Pack 28. Dawn Ish was his den leader throughout his cub scout ranks. He was a Tiger, Wolf, and Bear cub then he was a Webelo and crossed over earning his Arrow of Light award and crossed over to Boy Scouts, Troop 216 of Hicksville.  His first year as a Scout was 2018. This is when his Trail to Eagle officially began.  Scoutmasters that have helped him along the way have been Greg Brown, Randy Post, Tony Wilhelm, Randy Miller,  Kyle Wonderly, and Dawn Ish. All of these leaders have been involved since his cub days to present day. Greg Brown is the official Troop Scoutmaster for Hicksville Troop 216. Jackson is also part of the Hicksville Venture Crew, 6216. Jackson is also a member of the Order of the Arrow Brotherhood through Scouting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his scouting journey he has learned many things. He has gone on many camping and outdoor adventures, participated in many pinewood derbies, completed countless community service hours, and earned many Eagle required merit badges and regular merit badges. He has learned fire safety, knife safety, first aid, knot tying, rifle safety, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson has been Camp Staff at Camp Lakota in Defiance. His favorite area to serve at Lakota is the 40 foot climbing wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Eagle project was titled, Scout’s Hands-on Food Bank Upgrade. He worked closely with Reverend Robert Knapp of Christ Cupboard Ministries in Hicksville. To complete the project, Jackson, with help from his fellow scouts and family, painted the building front of Christ’s Cupboard including the windows and door. He also hung new street numbers, planted some flower pots and hand crafted a wooden sign to hang from the awning to show that the building is Christ’s Cupboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christ’s Cupboard location has some history to Hicksville, originally being a restaurant, Yoder’s. The sign that Jackson crafted was hung on the building’s original bracket. He had sanded the bracket down and refinished it to be able to use it to keep it a part of the building\u2019s history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson had spent a few months organizing, planning, purchasing, and working through this project. He had never used a hand held wood router before this project. He received some router training from his great-great-Uncle Donnie Shaffer and Pa, Jim Breininger. He had scouts and family help him prep the building and complete the work. His scouts friends who helped included: leaders Greg Brown, Dawn Ish, and Kyle Wonderly. Scout helpers were Noah Harmon, Logun Ish, Aiden Scott Campbell, and Preston Ferrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson plans to continue to stay active with Boy Scouts of America as an adult leader. He is the son of David Wagner II, and Staci Wagner; his sister is Alli Jo and brother Noah. He is a Senior with Hicksville High school and Four County this year. He will graduate in May of 2025. He is in the Computer Networking and Cybersecurity program at Four County and loves it! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
