Connor Knapp's Culminating EAGLE SCOUT Service Project was this natural outdoor amphitheatre for the Redmond Presbyterian Church. The land was donated by the church after review of Connor's proposal. The project was designed by Connor for compatibility with the forest, form and function. Not one tree was removed. Connor planned and organized the project from the beginning to the end. Under the mentorship of his father, Connor raised funds for the materials and recruited all the labor and then supervised the construction. The project's timeline was completion by Easter. They made it!

The church is very happy and blessed by Connor's project. The first use of the amphitheater was the Youth program's sponsored Easter "Sunrise Service". Boy Scouts from Connor's Troop 520 have held meetings here. Spaces within the church, including the amphitheatre, are open to the public, when available. For reservations, call 425-885-2811. The church is located on 166th Ave & NE 100th Street.

Connor's troop meets at the Redmond Presbyterian Church every Monday at 7pm, under the guidance of Dan Weinmeister, a Scoutmaster. Other Scout Troops on "the Hill" meet at Faith Lutheran, First Baptist, Redmond United Methodist, LDS, and Norman Rockwell.

CONGRATULATIONS, CONNOR!

Eagle Scout requirements - minimum of 21 Merit Badges - Connor has 26. Connor is the 5th Eagle scout to come out of Troop 520 (2.5 years old)
