The troop converged (eventually) at Northwest Prep, where we meet, to do a number of projects to support the school and help Joey earn his Eagle.The projects were varied, from clearing brush, to cleaning up the planted beds, to destroying some old planters, to spreading mulch, to breaking up some cement anchors so they could be disposed of.
The project started slowly with only 4 people showing up first thing in the morning. While this meant lots more doughnuts for us, it caused a bit of panic. Luckily everyone was only running late and within an hour there was a full crew on site and working.
Everyone worked steadily and the school started taking shape in no time. By lunch (pizza, yum!), most of the clean up was done and only hauling away the debris and filling back in with soil and wood chips had to be completed. In a few hours, that was done as well. We could all stand back and see what we had done.
What a difference it made! Rarely do you see so much change in a site with a service project. The school looked 100% better. Good job Joey!
Leaders: Lots and Lots
Lessons Learned: You can make quite a difference with just one project
