A few of our Troop 606 girls helped a member of the Troop 1 boys with another Eagle Project in our community. They are building an outdoor area for a local church. The beneficiary will have a fire pit and a wonderful new outdoor space to meet and relax.

First and foremost, an Eagle Scout is one with the outdoors. She knows how to camp, swim, hike, use wood tools, build a fire, use a camp stove, and find her way with a map and compass. She’s spent at least 20 days and nights camping out in a tent she pitched on a site she selected. Many of those times she planned her own menu and cooked her own food.
The Eagle Scout is comfortable with nature. She can identify local animals and plants, including poisonous plants. She understands the causes of water, land, and air pollution and understands the importance of sustainability.
She embodies the Scout motto, "Be Prepared." She knows how to treat fractures, head injuries, hypothermia, convulsions, frostbite, burns, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, even knocked-out teeth. She knows what to do in case of fire, explosion, desert emergency, motor-vehicle accident, mountain accident, food poisoning, gas leak, earthquake, flood, tornado, hurricane, atomic emergency, and avalanche.
The Eagle Scout has also set and worked toward fitness goals. She's competed against herself in tests of aerobic endurance, flexibility, and muscular strength.
She knows what it means to be physically, mentally, and socially fit.
The Eagle Scout is a good citizen. She's attended a city meeting and knows how the city government is organized. She knows who her U.S. Senators and Representative are and has written a letter to one of them about a national issue.
She's read the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
She knows how to manage her money and understands the risks and benefits of putting her money in savings bonds, mutual funds, common stock, and real estate. She has set financial goals and worked towards achieving those goals.
She's a good family member. She knows what things are important to the members of her family and has talked to her family about finances, drug abuse, and growing up. She has completed, start-to-finish, a large project that benefits her community. An Eagle Scout is good!

Some of our Troop 606 scouts and parents spent the day with the boys of Troop 1 at their annual Thanksgiving Feast. The group cooks a complete meal outdoors with all the trimmings of a holiday family dinner. Lots of cooking badges and advancements earned, and lots of good eating.
