For his Eagle project, Blaine organized, designed and planned an outdoor learning center at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and School on the nature trail that his brother, Eagle Scout Walker Shellhorn began for his Eagle project. Creating the outdoor classroom area involved clearing brush, stumps, rocks, and debris.  He leveled, mulched and placed five concrete picnic tables to the area.  He also cleared an area to the creek and used stones from the property to make steps into the creek for easier access.  The trail has been used for the cross-country team, science classes and many other activities at the school.  His project involved over 20 people and over 220 service hours including family, friends, fellow Scouts, church members and Sacred Heart Staff and volunteers.  Since the completion of Blaine’s Eagle Project, Sacred Heart Parishioners have made additions to the trail, which is now 2 miles long with signage and mapping for the entire course.  He attended Sacred Heart from 1st through 8th grades.
