Scouts! Good luck on semester finals this week. YOU GOT THIS! And knowing you guys, you really could consider this elective, the Scholarship mb, you are already partway there. (Nudge, nudge.)

scouttrees.org Redmond and nearby East King County neighbors: Scout Troops spent part of December leaving flyers re: our regional live tree recycle event tomorrow Sat January 4th. Please support the Troop assigned to your area. But if your street was missed, please consider our dropoff zones or check to see if we have space to pick up yours. Trees for pickup need to be at curb by 9am. Thank you for supporting Scouting and sending your live tree to be chipped and out of waste stream. More info: scouttrees.org

T591 has a new Eagle Scout! Congratulations to OliverC who passed his Eagle Board of Review this week. (Formal Eagle Court of Honor TBA.) Oliver’s project was playground blacktop improvements at Wilder Elementary. See the link below for a time lapse video (edited to 5 mins) of part of his project.

Throwback Sunday (because our scribe had no power still on Thursday). The boys from T591 recently helped the Eastside Audubon Society with a giveaway of native bird-friendly shrubs (1-gallon size). Some plants weren’t picked up by the community - if you are interested in salmonberry, Pacific ninebark, beaked hazelnut or vine maple, please leave a comment below. Description/explanation of plant requirements in first few comments. It’s recommended that you get these plants into the ground asap (water more important than sun right now) and suggested that you mulch/water for the first three summers.

On the road again! T591 headed to Fire Mountain camp. Say hi if you see them on the road this weekend.

Changes afoot at T591...the trailer has had a glam-up and now has a scribe - for a unique perspective on the boys' adventures...

If you see me on the road, stop and say hi! The boys are looking forward to weekend adventures to Fire Mountain Camp (Mt. Vernon-ish) coming up in November and Fort Casey (a favorite glamping location of many of our parent chaperones) in December. I don't know who'll be towing the trailer for these trips - maybe because I am sooo very identifiable now, it'll slow down the occasionally lead-footed Scoutmaster....😀

Proud of our boys, future is bright!
