His Eagle project was to stand a new goldfish for religious holidays biannual held in OCBC. As a member of the church since early childhood, he has always been a part of such festivals as both a volunteer and a participant.Seeing the state destroyed the cab of goldfish old, he decided it was time for a new one. He organized and coordinated a team of experienced scouts in building a new stand from scratch, doing everything from cutting wood, paint, to put it all together. Sollberger felt filled with the completion of his project as he loved the smiles of children who have played the game
