Boy Scouts Help Ivy Hill

Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center would like to thank Lucas Rogers and Boy Scout Troop 67 of Hilltown for their recent facility service project. Lucas is working towards an Eagle Scout designation and part of the requirement is to run a service project. Lucas chose Ivy Hill because several of his friend’s use Ivy Hill’s services. He wanted to say thank you for the service Ivy Hill provides to the community and his friends.





His troop, with the help of over 30 volunteers, built a shed for wheel barrels, shovels and pitchforks, installed fencing to divide a large pasture and built a display case for awards and Ivy Hill’s Horse of the Year Blankets. They accomplished the project by raising money for materials as well as finding help to complete the projects.

Megan Strychowski, Program Manager stated “We are very happy with the projects Lucas, his troop & volunteers worked on at our facility. Everything was done with pride and we have had lots of compliments on the display case which can be seen as soon as you walk into the barn.” She says it is always wonderful when service organizations offer their time and talents to Ivy Hill. As a non-profit, there is always more work to be done than funds allow. Ivy Hill would like to wish Lucas the best of luck in becoming an Eagle Scout!
