Posted on Mar 25 2024 - 7:07am

Troop Families,

Tonight: PLC at 6:30pm and 7:30pm Troop meeting


Thanks to all who showed up for Stanley's project.  It was a great turnout with 44 volunteers and 200 service hours recorded.  As with all Eagle Projects, things didn't turn out exactly as planned, and the team pivoted to make the best use of the resources at hand. In the end, a beautiful fence was constructed, and a mountain of dead honeysuckle was generated.
