High School sophomore Evan Funk has chosen Wesley Forest as the site for his Eagle Scout project. “I will be building a stage area at Wesley Forest UM Camp big enough to hold all campers at camp.” said Evan, who has been active in scouting for ten years, as a member of Troop 180 in New Kingstown.
“Wesley Forest Camp is one of my favorite places in the world. I have so many memories and friendships that were formed and shaped there,” he said. His dad is Rev. Eric Funk, currently serving Central UMC, Honesdale, in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre District, and his mom has been a camp nurse for many years. Living in a pastor’s family means that they have moved to many places but Wesley Forest has been a special, constant place in Evan’s life. “My Eagle Project is to make Wesley Forest even better for future generations who will come to grow closer to God and to each other.”
Evan has now reached the stage of fundraising the $7,000 needed to complete the project. You can help! Your giving will support this Eagle Scout project and the United Methodist camping program as well. Check out this video for inspiration and an explanation of the project.
