Troop 443 recognized 3 Eagles with a Court of Honor on Monday. These young men are off to their next stages in life with two of them heading to college and one joining the military.
Layton H. led the troop to build the sports library and cut new trails to access the park from the southeast corner of Lazy 5 Regional Park for his Eagle project. The sports library has been a hit with local kids, and the new park access will be helpful as that area continues to grow.
Alex B.'s Eagle project was to build a new storage shed for Lord of Mercy Lutheran Church in Sparks. They have been very happy with the extra storage space and our scouts learned valuable construction skills.
Last, but not least! Wakely D. managed our troop in his Eagle project to rehabilitate a small game guzzler in the Nightingale Mountains. The guzzler had to be dug up, have a new tank installed, have the roof and plumbing fixed up, and new fencing. This project in cooperation with Nevada Department of Wildlife, will help small critters reach water during our dry Nevada summers.
These scouts have been fantastic leaders in our troop helping the younger boys to learn new skills and helping to teach our next generation of leaders within Troop 443. We will miss them on our campouts and at meetings but cannot be prouder of all their accomplishments in the Troop, in school, sports, band, JR ROTC, and all the accomplishments yet to come! Congratulations, gentlemen!
