Eagle Projects - Earn some service hours!

Every Boy Scout needs to earn some service hours and an excellent way to do that is to help out your fellow Scouts who are doing their Eagle Project!  There are two Eagle Scout projects coming up in the near future and they need your help to complete them.  Someday you may want to be an Eagle Scout and you will have a project that is important to you.  Please try to attend if you are able. Thanks!
