His project was the construction of a storage building at Animal Placement Agency of the Windsors (APAW) on South Post Road in West Windsor. With the help of fellow scouts, he built an exact replica of an existing storage shed.
“The project saved the shelter close to $1,”000,” said shelter manager Stephanie Brocksbank. “We desperately needed a new shed.”
