Scout Hut

We have met with the New Leasers of the Community center. They have encouraged renovation of the Scout Hut. Already, adult leaders have cleaned the roof, power washed the entire building, cleaned shrubs from the back, removed unused light fixtures and poles, and work is proceeding on removing the grates and repairing the windows. Next comes painting and replacing the door. We also plan  to undate the electrical box and install ceiling fans. 

We have three scouts heading to Camp Rainey summer camp on Sunday June 28- Friday July 3. Ron Yeater and Warren Parsons will be adult leaders. Roman Rodriguez cannot attend because of family concerns.

Short Meeting Monday March 16- Troop 81 will meet Monday to discuss upcoming troop activities and meetings. We will decide on Pine Mountain Backpacking event scheduled for March 21-22 as well as whether to procede or suspend  regular meetings until the current viral outbreak has stablized. Scouts and leaders who are at risk or sick are not expected to attend. 

REMINDER! Daniel's Eagle Project Workday is Saturday, March 7

Please come out and help me with my Eagle Project on Saturday, March 7.  We will be laying stepping stones for a prayer walk at St. Anna's Catholic Church, 1401 Alcovy Street (corner of Criswell Road and Alcovy Street/Monroe-Jersey Road).  We will start at 10:00 AM and hopefully finish by 3:00 PM.

There will be plenty of snacks and drinks and we will have pizza for lunch.

Wear old clothes that can get dirty and bring work gloves and shovels if you have them. I still need a wheelbarrow if anyone can let me borrow one, let me know.

Please text your name to me at (770) 880-2504 and let me know if you are coming so I will have a count for lunch and so I can let you know if there are any changes to the plan due to weather.  Right now it looks like the weather is going to be perfect - high of about 60 degrees and sunny.  It will be cool in the morning, so bring a jacket.

Thanks for your help.  See you Saturday!

Daniel
