Troop 227
June 2011 Newsletter
Introduction
Welcome to the ninetieth
edition of our Troop 227 Newsletter. To learn more about Boy Scouts, please
visit us at any troop activity, speak to a troop leader, or visit one of the
following websites.
Through much patience
and hard work, many scouts in Troop 227 have recently advanced rank!
Andrew, Benjamin, Curt,
Donovan, Hunter, and Nicholas successfully passed their Board of Review to
advance from First Class to Star Scout!
To achieve this rank, scouts must be active in
their troop for at least four months, earn six additional merit badges, volunteer
for community service projects, and demonstrate scout spirit.
Congratulation goes to
Jacob for advancing from Star to Life Scout!
Jacob achieved this rank by staying active in his troop for at least six
months, earn five additional merit badges beyond Star
Scout, participated in community service projects, while demonstrating scout
spirit.
Logan, Luke, and Paden
earned the highest rank, Eagle Scout! Generally,
only five percent of all scouts will achieve this rank. Scouts earned this rank by being active in
their troop for at least six months, earn a total of 21 merit badges, lived by
the principles of the scout oath and law, plus plan and conduct their Eagle
Scout project.
Logan’s Eagle project
involved building quality benches for a prominent historical mansion in
Nashville, which benefits visitors and local students. Luke built a covered playground bench for his
elementary school, so teachers could sit in the shade while watching students
during outdoor activities. Paden enhanced
his high school soccer field by clearing brush and removing hazardous tree
limbs near the team bench, plus installed a flag pole at the entrance of the
field.
Needless to say,
everyone is very proud of the hard work and dedication of these fine scouts!!!!
