many scout activities. Over the many years Kristopher has been involved 
with scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also

also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Kristopher built six large bat houses for Immacolata Manor in Liberty, 
Missouri, to control mosquitoes and other pests.
