Eagle Scout Projects

Aidan Prostor 2026 Eagle Project
 

Thank you for clicking on the QR code below the American Flag
on the St. Aloysius Church campus in New Canaan, CT.

You are currently standing in front of a 30’ nautical-style Flagpole. My Eagle Scout Service Project involved raising money to pay for the flagpole, sourcing the flagpole, coordinating its installation, organizing and completing the landscaping around the pole, manufacturing the QR code sign, and designing this webpage.

With support from The National Flag Foundation (NFF) in Pittsburgh, PA, this webpage is dedicated to educating youth and families about the American Flag and honoring those who serve to protect its existence.
