Boy Scout asks, ‘Tennis anyone?’

Last month, Boulder City’s Cameron Borg did something almost all Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts dream of, completing their Eagle Scout project.

Cameron, who is part of Troop 7 in Boulder City, completed his Eagle Project on Dec. 15. His project was to construct a new tennis backboard for the Boulder City High School tennis team and remove the aging backboards that were currently on the courts. The existing backboards on the courts were also too small for use by the players. The new backboard installed during the project is 20 feet wide and 8 feet tall.

Borg decided on this project when his dad, C.R. Borg, spoke with the boys high school tennis coach, Rachelle Huxford, about making new backboards for the tennis players to use and enjoy.

Cameron attended many of the home tennis matches to watch his brother, Logan, play the past two seasons and also has ambitions of playing on the team next year when he starts high school as a freshman. Once Cameron received approval from BCHS coach Rachelle Huxford, he immediately began working on a prototype idea with his dad.

Cameron logged more than 200 hours of planning and implementation for his Eagle Project and more than 20 volunteers helped him complete the job.

He received donations from the Boulder City High School tennis team, Graybar, family, and friends to fund the materials for his project.

Decrease in tourists could affect budget

Eagle-eyed followers of city government may have noticed multiple references by city officials over the past year to expect shortfalls in the Boulder City budget over the next few years. It is a fact of life for city staff, and the big decrease in tourism to the region is poised to make the situation even more dire.
