Supporting Eagle Scout Projects Through Safer Community Spaces

Over the years, SlipDoctors has proudly supported all kinds of projects across the United States, from home renovations to large commercial installations. But one type of request that always stands out comes from Eagle Scouts, young leaders taking on meaningful projects designed to benefit their communities.

Many Scouts have reached out to SlipDoctors for help sourcing non-slip paints and coatings to complete their service projects, often focused on improving playgrounds, sports courts, and local facilities. These projects not only make shared spaces safer but also bring people together through creativity, teamwork, and purpose.

Why Eagle Scout Projects Matter

To achieve the Eagle Scout rank, each Scout must plan, organize, and lead a project that benefits their community, a milestone that demonstrates leadership, initiative, and commitment to service.

These projects can take many forms: building outdoor seating, resurfacing recreational areas, painting sports courts, or restoring public spaces. Each one represents months of planning, fundraising, and collaboration.

For SlipDoctors, it’s inspiring to see how often these young leaders focus on safety and accessibility, two values that align closely with our mission. Whether they’re creating new play areas or repainting worn surfaces, Scouts consistently choose materials that make their spaces safer, stronger, and longer-lasting for everyone to enjoy.

How SlipDoctors Supports Scouts

To make the process easier for Scouts and troop leaders, SlipDoctors has created a dedicated Eagle Scout Project Request page, where applicants can request discounted or donated products to support their community initiatives.

We understand that each Eagle project is unique. Some require non-slip paint for athletics courts or walkways, while others focus on improving pool decks, entrances, or playground surfaces. That’s why we review every request individually to match each Scout with the most suitable product and application guidance.

In return, we ask participants to share photos or videos of their completed projects, allowing us to celebrate their achievements and inspire others who may be considering similar initiatives.

Through this simple process, we’re able to help Scouts across the country complete projects that make their communities safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable.

Real Projects, Real Impact

Each Eagle Scout project tells a story — of leadership, creativity, and commitment to making the community a better place. Below are just a few examples of how Scouts have used SlipDoctors products to bring their ideas to life.

Building a Pickleball Court for a Local School

When Surya Sriram, a 16-year-old Scout from Folsom, California, began planning his Eagle project, he wanted to combine his love for pickleball with his desire to give back to his school community. His goal: to install a brand-new pickleball court for the California Montessori Project.

During his research, Surya discovered SlipDoctors’ range of court coating and concrete resurfacing products and reached out for guidance. Our team helped him understand the surface preparation and coating process to ensure the court would be safe, durable, and long-lasting.

This project not only gave local students a new way to stay active but also turned an unused area into a vibrant community space.

Painting a Giant Chessboard at a Community Pool

In Beverly, Massachusetts, Scout Jason Cledes Jr. took on an equally creative challenge — painting a giant 10’x11’ chessboard on the pool deck at the Salem Recreation Center in Forest River Park.

After researching the best coating for safety and durability, Jason concluded that Tuff Grip Extreme was the ideal choice. With guidance from SlipDoctors, he planned his surface preparation, paint selection, and application method to ensure a professional, slip-resistant finish.

His project transformed an ordinary pool deck into a unique space that encourages families to spend time together while staying safe around wet surfaces.

Through projects like these, Scouts across the country are using SlipDoctors coatings not only to enhance safety but also to create spaces that inspire connection, learning, and play.

Join the Movement

SlipDoctors is proud to stand alongside Scouts who are making a lasting difference in their communities. Every project, big or small, represents leadership in action, transforming ordinary spaces into safer, more enjoyable environments.

Whether it’s painting courts, improving pool decks, or adding safety markings to walkways, we’re always excited to help the next generation of leaders bring their vision to life.
