On Saturday, Dante led scouts to build three wooden benches, construct a wooden coffee table, and paint three garden boxes for St. Roberts Elementary School. The finished projects were great!

The Mt Wittenberg trail, approximately 5 miles with 1300 feet of elevation gain, was a moderate hike that the scouts were able to partake in. They did great navigating where they needed to go with their maps and compasses!

This year's Scouting for Food drive was a huge success. Thank you so much to all the scouts who helped donate, pass out fliers, and pick up food!

Aaron led scouts in constructing planter boxes for Sunshine Gardens Elementary School for his Eagle project. The scouts cut, sanded, drilled, and stained the wood, completing two beautiful planters!

For his Eagle project, Jordan built a chain link fence on November 2nd and 3rd at John Muir. Scouts helped dig holes, install metal posts, attach wire mesh, and secure with top rails. The finished product looks amazing!
