Andrew’s Eagle Project – Saturday , June 6th

Hi everyone.

As you all know I will be starting my Eagle Project this weekend. It will be at the American Legion Post 488 on Lakes Road.

Wear old clothes if you plan on coming. I will be starting at 8:00am and leaving by 4:00pm because they have the hall rented out at 5:00pm. If you want to bring paint brushes and rollers you can, we will be staining the exterior of the sun room. If anyone has an extension ladder to bring that would be great.

Hope to see you guys there, what ever time you can make it even if 1 hour would be a great help. Thanks!

Andrew

  • Wednesday, December 10th
  • Wednesday, January 14th
  • Wednesday, February 11th

After you have completed your Eagle workbooks, you should talk to me about asking Mr. Hickey if he wouldn’t mind giving you your Eagle Scoutmaster Conference. After the Scoutmaster Conference, you will then sit for the Troop’s Board of Review. Once these steps have been completed, you will coordinate with me and set up a date to sit in on one of these dates above with the Heritage District’s Eagle Board.

Here is the contact email to set this meeting up: chris.clark@scouting.org.

Eagle Scout Project (Brian Phelan)

Hey Everyone,

Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner, but at this point it looks like Joe Russell will not be available to work on replacing the fence tomorrow, Saturday.  There is a possibility that he may be available for a few hours on Sunday – he said he will confirm that and the time (if he’s available) tomorrow morning.  

If he’s not available, I plan to prime and paint the section of fence we already completed.  

I will send an email with details tomorrow morning as soon as I hear from Mr. Russell.

Thank you,

Brian

In the interim on Sunday at 8 am I am planning to prime and paint the section of fence that we completed last weekend.
