William is continuing the tradition in the Poppe family, as he is a third generation Eagle Scout, his father David Poppe, and grandfather Paul Poppe are also Eagle Scouts. William’s great grandfather Odin Poppe earned the coveted Silver Beaver Award as an outstanding adult Scout Leader. William’s Eagle Project benefited Camp Twin Lakes. He built three C.H.O.A (Creative Hands On Activity) Carts, one for each medical lodge at each camp Rutledge East, Rutledge West, and Winder. At Twin Lakes several camps will host medically fragile children. The activity carts are heavy duty carts stocked with fun indoor activities to engage the kids when they are being cared for in the medical lodge instead of the camp activities such as zipline, rock wall, horseback riding or fishing. William is a 2026 honors graduate from Campbell High School. William has earned a significant leadership and academic scholarship and will be attending Hampden Sydney College in the Fall of 2026 as a Biology Pre-Med major. RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION:
