Justin’s Eagle Project December 30

n Saturday, December 30th, many troop members, family, and friends worked on Justin's Eagle project at Angel Heart Horse Farm. We worked on making clearing a path for a new horse trail and gathering and chipping wood to create mulch for the trail. We worked from 8 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. Justin's project will help ill children ride horses in the woods on this farm for their therapy.

2007: A New Beginning

s we embark on another fun-filled year of Boy Scouting, I ask each Scout and each family to take stock of your current status within Scouting. Every young man deserves to have an excellent Scouting experience. This can only be achieved by the efforts of the Scout, the Scout’s parents or guardians, and the Troop leaders.

encourage everyone associated with our troop to rededicate yourself to the ideals of Boy Scouts and to help make 2007 the best year of Scouting yet!
