Congratulations to Milo B. for successfully completing his eagle board of review. He is now Troop 323’s 140th Eagle Scout. Milo was accompanied to his review by Mr. Bliznick & Ms. Newell, Mr. Pitt, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Geer. Milo joined Scouts in 2016 as a Wolf, earned his Arrow of Light, then served the troop as a den chief, troop guide, patrol leader, instructor, and junior assistant scoutmaster. We’re looking forwards to his eagle court of honor!
The Flagstaff Sunshine Rescue Mission was greatly improved by our scouts. Nathan H. led a crew of volunteers to improve the front entrance, paint and sand a door, install new lights, hang signs and bulletin boards, build benches and tables, and construct three games for people to play. The rescue mission is a recovery transition place for men that have struggled with addiction.
Our troops had an amazing week at Camp Geronimo this year! Our scouts earned dozens of merit badges, completed service projects, hiked East Webber, braved the Polar Bear Plunge and the Tenderfoot Run, marked off so many requirements that they requested a record number of Scoutmaster Conferences and Boards of Review, and even took home Big G Gold! We are proud of our youth leaders and all our scouts, and so grateful for our scouters who helped them do their best.
Our troops helped Milo with his Eagle Project! Milo and our scouts spent months planning and building two little libraries for the Sunnyslope Youth Center. Then they helped him install them on Friday, June 12th. They also cleaned the entire grounds at the center as well as the park next to it. They removed graffiti, picked up trash, and raked the area. Our troop was happy to help the youth center, and put our best efforts in!
Our scouts assembled at Gecko Climbing Gym on May 26 to spend time rock climbing! They learned safety procedures, then spent several hours on the gym’s numerous rock walls and bouldering courses. Even some of the adults took a turn scaling the walls. They all had a fun time, and learned some cool new skills.
