Scout Scores for Community

Local Anchorage teen James Barber has combined his passion for soccer with a community project designed to help him achieve Eagle Scout.  Recently dedicated Anglo American Field is one of eight fields at the new Kincaid Park soccer complex to receive informational kiosks built by Barber.

Barber coordinated the entire project and led his team of volunteers to complete and install the kiosks in time for the Alaska State Cup Soccer Tournament held in early August. Throughout the project, Barber worked with Land Design North, which oversees the improvement aspects of the Kincaid Project, www.kincaidproject.org. While the project was funded by the Kincaid Project Group, Barber negotiated prices with suppliers and also secured donations.
