On September 20th, Heath got a crew together to help him complete his Eagle Project.  We carried all the tools and materials to the brook where the bridge was to be installed.  Part of the crew worked on assembling the bridge, while the other part went up and down the trail, cleaning it up and refurbishing it.  We all worked together for several hours to complete the project.  It came out very well.  Good job, Heath.

Heath's Eagle Project is to refurbish a walking trail that goes around Commins Pond and to build a 16' bridge over a stream that crosses that path about half way around the pond.  On 9/13/14 the troop started building the frame, with Heath directing the activities and helping finish it right.  He got everybody working together and we got the frame built in short time, and looking great.  We will meet next week to transport the frame, install the bridge and refurbish the trail, finishing the project.  It is coming along well and will be super when it's finished.

Patrick has been working on his Life rank and for that, he needs to do a service project.  He had approached the Warren Senior Center and asked them if he could do a project for them.  They told Patrick that their old, plastic flower boxes, in the front windows, were falling apart and they would like a nice, sturdy wooden flower box there.  Patrick took measurements, made plans and purchased the materials.  The troop helped Patrick measure and mark the wood, which Patrick cut to length.  They all took turns at drilling pilot holes and driving screws into the wood, to assemble the large, wooden flower box.  Later, they all sanded and painted it together.  Patrick installed it once it was completed and boy, it looks nice on the building.
