Eagle Scout Creates a Buzz at the Fairfield Museum and History Center

Fairfield, CT - BSA Troop 90 is pleased to announce its latest Eagle Scout, Adam Jehle!

For Adam’s Eagle Scout Project, he created a garden at the Fairfield Museum and History Center, along with support from Troop 90 and the Sasqua Garden Club.

Inspired by the plight of endangered bee populations, Adam decided to plant a pollinator garden to help them out. “My project really helped me understand the declining bee population crisis and find effective ways to help the environment,” said Adam. “I’m glad I was able to complete this project with the Boy Scouts, since they are an organization who has taught me many things over the years.”

With planning help from the Fairfield Museum, funding from the Sasqua Garden Club, discounts on the pollinator plants from Native Nursery of Fairfield, and the Fairfield Department of Public Works supplying Adam with tools and resources, he was able to help establish a garden that will help future bee colonies flourish.

“Adam is a valuable member of our troop and has worked very hard towards this goal, not only within our troop but through a lot of service to our community,” said Troop 90’s committee chair, Daniela Rhoades. “His Eagle scout project turned out to be a beautiful addition to an important organization in Fairfield. Congratulations to Adam and the Jehle family on this amazing accomplishment!”

The Fairfield Museum and History Center is a vibrant nexus of community life offering dynamic family programs and exhibitions, sparking dialogue and deliberating the challenges of the future. Central to their community-focused mission is a desire to provide important historical context to pressing issues of our time, and to offer a safe, trustworthy environment where multiple perspectives can be heard, and collective solutions explored.
