But what does it take to get here? It starts with learning what makes a Scout a Scout: the Scout Law, the Scout Oath, and the Outdoor Code. The next phase is learning skills. You mostly learn these skills on camping trips. The next phase for Scouts is extended learning and leadership. Scouts earn merit badges to learn more detailed information, from First Aid to Camping to Government at different levels. Leadership is learned by holding a role within the Troop. This might be leading a patrol of a smaller group of Scouts, working with a Cub Scout Pack, or leading the whole Troop as Sr Patrol leader. The Program ends with a capstone called the Eagle Project. The Eagle Project is more about leadership. It dealing with a small Project. Scouts work with the owner, handling money with a budget, and working with Scouts to fulfill the plan set with the owner. All things they learned on the path to earning the Rank of Eagle. As a result, Scouts who earn the rank of Eagle Scout are more confident, more leadership-oriented, and more honorable.

Buckeye’s Mission & Dog Sanctuary would like to thank Collin Arthur of Eagle Scout Troop # 701 on the completion of his Eagle Scout project.

Collin took on the responsibility of restoring the wishing well located next to the rescue. This was no easy task and Collin worked on this project for over a year. The entire wishing well had to be rebuilt. A new roof along with the inside support and beams were assembled. The work continued as a new bucket, paint job, and landscaping with solar lights was put into place. The wishing well looks amazing and the entire staff at Buckeye’s Mission could not be happier.

The Cleveland Lumber Company, Brunswick Home Depot and Petitti’s Garden Center of Brunswick donated many of the materials needed for this project. Collin’s parents also help out with some of extra purchases for the well. Thank you for the support with your donated items.

Thank You Collin for a job well done.

Our Scout Troop is doing a fundraiser with the Rotary Club of Strongsville.

Buying ducks allows each Scout the chance to help pay their way through Scouting. Besides helping our Scouts, the Rotary, you have a chance to win prize money up to $5000!

If you don't know any of our awesome Scouts, use "701".

Scouting summer camp. A week away from Mom and Dad, having fun with fellow Scouts, earning merit badges and do fun activities they don't get a chance at home.

I included 2 photos. First photo is a couple scouting learning to row on a lake. Second photo is a couple of them sinking the boat. They are not panicking. Remaining calm and handling the situation. Scouts learn, and knowledge prevents panic. Hard to say if they were doing that as part of a merit badge or just having fun.

Scouting keeps families tight. It's not just camping in the woods — it's a way of life: taking care of yourself, taking care of others, improving your community. Nothing in the Scout Law mentions "family," but ask around — our Scouts are some of the closest kids to their parents you'll ever meet. 🏕️

Tonight the Scouts hiked 5 miles in this blazing hot heat. It’s 92 at 8:30pm. This hike starts at the sled hill on 130th. This is a requirement to rank up in Scouts. Only about 5 Scouts need this requirement to be signed off. As you can see most of the Troop went. They didn’t have to. They went because they love Scouting and support each other. They ended at Dairy Queen in Strongsville.

Bring your son to a meeting, talk to a parent of a scout or talk to a scout. See why scouting is an amazing opportunity for growth, maturity and fun.

Right before Memorial Day Troop 701 put in flag poles in the ground, raise flags and add signs to the city park at 82 and Pearl. They do this every year helping the Kiwanis Club. The Scout lead them selves and take control. Adult leaders step aside to help and watch. Some times to inject some help. Afterwards they walked down the road and placed flags on soldiers graves. At the end of summer they will take down the flags, poles and Signs.

I added comments to a lot of the photos.
