TROOP MEETING
I know some of you may have tomorrow off from School, however, we will have an in-person Troop meeting at 7:30PM at Immanuel Church on the Hill this Monday.

ISAAC WORKMAN- April 29th, 30th and May 6th
Hello scouts,
My Eagle Scout Project will be on the 29th and 30th of April, and the 6th of May. We will be repairing the Bush Hill Presbyterian Church garden and adding labels so the preschoolers can learn about native plants in our area. We will be tearing down the old retaining wall and putting in a new one, as well as pulling out invasive species and planting native ones.
We will have pizza and water for anyone who is able to come help.
There are 2-3 shifts to choose from each day.
I would really appreciate the help from anyone who can make it.
Thank you,
Isaac Workman
