Scouting Alumni

Eagle Scout candidate Dakari Bryant wanted to create something welcoming and lasting at Cass Community Social Services.

On March 1, Dakari led Scouts, volunteers, and community supporters in redesigning the space into a calm and comfortable learning environment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The idea behind the project was straightforward: create a space where people feel respected, supported, and able to focus and grow.

“This project wasn’t just about painting a room,” Dakari shared. “It was about creating a place where people feel comfortable, respected, and able to learn.”

A lot of people stepped in to help make it happen. Home Depot and Ace Hardware donated materials, Scouts from Troop 194 worked together to prep and paint the room, and several Eagle Scouts from across the area volunteered their time and experience throughout the project.

Dakari’s Scouting journey began in Houston with Pack 242 and Troop 242 before his family relocated to Detroit, where he joined historic Troop 194 under Scoutmaster Damion Morse.

Now a senior at University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy, Dakari plans to attend Morehouse College to study aerospace engineering.
