Success!!

Last Thursday we were able to take five Scout, our family and another Scout leader up to work on the garden beds at the Utah Veteran's Nursing home.
My son in charge!
We were able to lay new soil, till in the soil, water proof the garden boxes, and get it raked ready for planting this next Thursday with the residents.  
 It has been a lot of work but really beneficial for my son.  I think we have all learned so much about organizing a troop, communications, and securing funding.
Hopefully these will be things he will remember and take with him into his life and learn from them.
The troop was willing to work and we all had a good time. 
 My daughter even got into the action! 

 They all did such a great job and we got everything done that was outlined by my son! 
 We even had Pizza, cookies, and soda pop for dinner!!

Just a reminder about my giveaway--celebrating the spirit of Scouting!!
