Nick Clayton - Eagle Scout Service Project Saturday, 11/14 at 9:00AM

 

Hello All,

This Saturday, 11/14, Nick Clayton will be working on his Eagle Scout Service Project and he would greatly appreciate any help he can get from our Scouts. The work on Saturday will consist of trail clearing at the Soule Homestead, 46 Soule Street, Middleborough, MA.  We will be meeting in the main parking lot at 9:00AM.

Each Scout is asked to bring the following equipment if you have it available:

• A pair of loppers
• A leaf rake
• Work gloves
• Plenty of bug spray as ticks are still active
• A full water bottle
• A face mask is required to comply with COVID regulations

Please remember to dress appropriately and boots are really a must as we may encounter nails on the ground.  No sneakers please.

Additionally, this is hunting season and even though our Scouts will be safe, as hunting is restricted at Soule Homestead, we recommend wearing high visibility clothing if you have it available.  Think bright colors like red, bright orange, yellow, etc.

Additional water will be available on-site and Nick will plan to have pizza available for lunch around 11:00.

Appropriate first aid supplies will be on-hand if needed.

Nick is looking forward to a fun and productive day!

Thank You!

This week, our Troop meeting will again be held at 29 Eldon Road, in Middleboro. If you weren't able to attend last week, Eldon Road is just off of Rocky Gutter near the Rodeway Inn on Route 28. The house and barn are red and are to the right of the public boat launch area at Tispaquin Pond.

Due to the evening's activities, we are asking Scouts to wear Class B's for the evening so that we don't get your Class A's dirty.

Scouts need to bring their own rake and a full water bottle.  Work gloves are recommended as well.
