Scout Constructs Collection Boxes As Service Project Nicholas Spangler, a member of Scout Troop 67, recently spearheaded the construction of three eyeglass collection boxes for his Eagle Project. The boxes are located at the Dover Borough Office Building on Butter Road, at Dover Fire Hall on East Canal Street, and at the Dover Township Building on West Canal Road. Nick chose this project with the help of a friend, knowing that the Dover Lions Club collects eyeglasses for reuse. Nick and his father started with lockable mailboxes, and Nick retrofitted them for his project, including fabricating the parts, sanding, painting, and applying decals. Dover Scout Troop 67 is chartered by Dover Lions Club, and the two organizations work together throughout the year. Nick is a 2018 Dover High School graduate and is slated to attend Elizabethtown College to study international business.
