For his Eagle Scout service project, Clemmons built a GaGa pit at Westbrook Park. The project involved a total of 19 scout and non-scout volunteers in completing.

Westbrook Park was chosen for the location because there are over 300 kids participating in soccer programs there each spring and fall.
