St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School benefits through an alumni Eagle Scout quest.
 
St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School has benefitted from the aspirations of the Boy Scouts of America Troup 204.  You can find more information about them on their Facebook page “BSA Troop 204 -  The Woodlands Texas .  
 
Calum McIninch is an alum of St. Anthony’s.  He graduated from our 8^th grade last May.  Through his Eagle Scout project, he choose to support St. Anthony’s by painting a United States map in the back lot of our school where students will be able to utilize it in outside curriculum classes.  It is located beside our Garden of Peace and Love, the outdoor classroom which helps to service the church’s food pantry.  This project became a community-wide endeavor as Calum was able to enlist the service of The Woodlands business: Chick-fil-a, Ace Hardware and Fast Signs.  He met with Mrs. Renee’ B. Nunez, Principal, at the end of last year knowing he wanted to do something for the school and through their meeting chose the map project.
 
Below is a quick listing of Calum’s process in considering his Eagle Scout project.
