10/7/2014

 

Eagle Project Help Needed – Saturday, October 11th  at 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm and Sunday, October 12th  at 11:30 pm - ? – Jack Moran is asking his fellow scouts for help with his Eagle Project. He would like to invite all scouts and parents to assist with his project, which is the outdoor classroom between the Robinson and the Jordan/Jackson Schools. The meeting time is 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm on Saturday in the back parking lot behind the Robinson School. He will be installing the new board and starting the build of the roof andcould use some  adult and "tall" scout help.

 

And Sunday, 11:30 am - ? (hopefully will be done before the Patriots kick off!) he will be working on completing the project, including the building of the roof, refurbishing old benches, and the final raking and clearing of the area. Please bring work gloves and bug repellent. As the roof is about 8' high, if anyone has a ladder that can be used that would be great. Water will be provided.

    Troop 17

    Troop 17 was chartered June 1, 1923.  The charter organization for Troop 17 is the Orthodox Congregational Church in Mansfield, MA.
