June Service Project for the Library at Otsego Community Gardens

Attached is some information for a service project from the library who is looking for some help from the scouts.  The area is the Otsego County Demonstration Gardens.  We currently have at least 5 eagle Projects in this garden.  

The proposed dates for brush hauling and wood chip spreading are daytime slots of June 14 Tuesday 9am-12noon, and June 29 Wednesday, 3-5pm.  This counts as service time to write in your scout handbook.  Please bring water bottle, gloves, rake, and wheelbarrow or bucket to spread mulch. Wear your Class B tshirt so you represent scouting. 

We need a few more adult volunteers to supervise.  Please let me know if you can come.  Thanks.

7:00 pm Round table meeting

DATE: May 5, 2016

LOCATION: LDS Church, 707 Alcan Dr., Petoskey

Tonight's meeting

Tonight's meeting will be a great time for older scouts to evaluate what they should be doing next to rank advance and get books signed off for recent activities.  We will be working one on one with our new scouts to earn the Scout rank and if there is time, begin the 30 days exercise for Tenderfoot.   

Adults who have helped with this in the past please bring a tape measure to measure long jump, and someone usually has a makeshift chin up bar.  We could also do the chin-ups and, if it's raining tonight, the running at the sportsplex when we go there to do the summer camp swim checks. 

Everyone should bring their scout book.
