Nathan's Eagle project

Parents and scouts:

Here is another opportunity for us to help one of our scouts working on his Eagle project.  Help if you are able.

Thanks - Kirk Bohanan

To all Scouts of Troop 136,

Hi! Some of you may not know me yet. I am Nathan Boggan, recently moved from Troop 385 to Troop 136.

My Eagle Project is this weekend! We are working at Salem Heights Cemetery, at the corner of Alkire and Demorest. This cemetery needs restoration, such as landscaping and painting. This weekend we will be removing undergrowth (aggressive bushes, annoying weeds, and volunteer trees) which have been encroaching at the borders and pushing on tombstones. We will defeat them!

We will be painting a chain and post fence as well. At a later date, we may plant some trees to replace the unwanted stragglers we have removed.

Hopefully all the tear out work will be completed this weekend.

Here are the work dates so far:

Friday, Aug. 8:   4 pm — dusk.

Saturday, Aug. 9:    9 am — 3 pm.

When you come bring work gloves, landscaping tools such as hatchets and saws (qualified scouts), pruning shears, shovels, etc. Adults may want to bring chain saws or weed eaters. You may want to wear long work pants.

Food and drinks will be provided.

If possible, let me know you're coming, so I can better plan for food. But, if you fail to contact me because you're not sure yet, don't let that stop you from coming.

Looking forward to working with you and getting to know you better!
