William’s Eagle Project

eagle1Sixteen acoustical soundboards  were refabricated and installed in Peninsula Catholic’s Gym. There was a total of 124 service hours completed on this project. The object of the project was to reduce echoing in the gym. The soundboards have had a huge effect in the gym and the school really appreciates the troop and what we did for them. The troop participation played a major factor and the hard work of the boys helped this project run smoothly. (-William)

Shelter in a Stable

There was unstable weather, so we camped in a stable.  When the weather cleared out, our SPL and ASPL lead us on a hike.  The road to Old Rag was flooded so we hiked the horse trails.  Try this calculation:  2,000 steps equals 1 mile. How many miles did we hike, if we took approximately 22,000 steps?Photo May 19, 10 04 39 PM

The SPL and ASPL, used the EDGE method to teach scouting skills including Firem’n Chip and Toten Chip.

A BIG thank you to William, our AWESOME SPL, for your patient leadership while everyone took a turn at cooking for rank advancement.
