C Hutchens Eagle Project this Saturday

Dear Troop 21,

I'm happy to announce that my Eagle Project is nearing the last steps
for completion! Thanks to everyone for their donations and support for
making all of this possible.


For my project, I have designed and created educational signs
identifying trees.  They tell interesting facts about certain species
of trees.   We will erect approximately twenty signs on the Blue Ridge
Nature Trail that is located at Shades Mountain Elementary School.  
These signs will benefit the teachers and students at the elementary
school and anyone in the community that wants to walk the Blue Ridge
Nature Trail.


A large portion of the project has already been completed.  I have
worked extensively with the trail coordinator and botanist Mrs. Kibelka
to select the species of trees to be included in this project.  In
addition, the text and graphics for each sign has been selected/written
and sent to the printer.   During an initial work day with scouts we
were able to assemble all the sign posts.


With your help, we can complete the final stage of the work next
Saturday, August 18th.  This will be an excellent opportunity for
scouts needing service hours or troop participation for rank
advancement!!!!
 


I hope you can come out and help a bit.  Lunch will be served!  Here
