Auburn has benefited over the years with many community improvements donated by young men in pursuit of Eagle rank. Some of the projects completed are the sign in front of the Auburn Volunteer Fire Department, the signs welcoming one to Auburn, the signs for the Town Hall, Museum and Administration Buildings. The Auburn Community Church benefited with the addition of a front porch on the parsonage, much needed drainage work to keep the lower level of the church dry, carpeting and a new outbuilding. Geauga Park District's Beartown got steps for their sledding hill and benches. There have been playgrounds constructed and trees planted. Evidence of Auburn’s Eagle Scouts generosity is ever present at Adam Hall, the township’s Community Center. There you can rest upon one of the 10 bench seats made by an Eagle Scout whose materials were donated by various township residents and businesses. The flag pole and flag along with the garden beds and the nature path (currently under construction) leading back to the lakes are all projects and donations from these fine young men. The Auburn Township Board of Trustees is very proud and support the Auburn Scouts!
