This is really cool!

Did you know the person in charge of the parachutes for the Artemis II mission is an Eagle Scout from Decatur?

Jared Daum is an aerospace engineer with NASA and served as the Parachute Systems Manager for the Artemis II mission.

Pretty incredible to see local Scouting shaping leaders who are helping send humans back to the Moon. 🚀

Special thanks to Mitch Lovgren and Rock Springs Conservation Area for working with our Scouts to earn some conservation service hours. Last night they helped us with planting 25 new oak trees for a new oak savanna at Rock Springs. The trees were purchased and donated by a local 4-H group.

Congratulations, Declan, on completing your Eagle Service Project! As you can see in the video, we spread all the much in record time.

Great job to Declan on his Eagle Scout Project!

You may remember a few months back we shared that Declan Stewart was raising money for his Eagle Scout project… well, he was successful!

His project adds a pull-up bar and parallel bars to our existing equipment, enhancing the space for even more community use.

Yesterday, he dug the holes, today our Public Works crew is assisting with installation, and tomorrow he’ll wrap things up with the mulch base.

Declan has done an incredible job leading this project from start to finish. We are honored he chose Forsyth and grateful we could play a small part in such a meaningful accomplishment. Stay tuned for pictures of the final result!

Congratulations, Declan—job well done! 👏

Learning real world skills is part of what Scouting is all about. Last weekend two of our Scouts completed welding merit badge. They had a great time, learned a great skill, and brought home a cool eagle they each made.
