Garrett's Eagle Project!

Garrett did his eagle project last week! With a lot of help from scouts and their dads, they poured a concrete picnic pad in the Theater in the Pines Campground (you know --just above Aspen Grove!!!!) It was way cool!! We'll all have to go check it out this summer and have a grand picnic. It was a 16x22' pad with a fire pit and grill. Garrett met with Geneva Rock who donated all the mud ($1300) and met with the Forest Service 5 or 6 times to get all the details right! Then he organized a Wed night activity with 10 scouts and 5 dads who drove up and moved a lot of bushes, rocks and dirt! Then for the Father and Son's Outing on Friday and Saturday they set up the forms and wheelbarrowed 6 1/2 yards of mud to the site. It was awesome. It was a real success with everyone working very hard! What could be better than dad's showing their boys how to play in mud!! Now with a couple of merit badges AND the dreaded final write up the family will have a 13 year old EAGLE! Way to go Gar!
