Peter’s Eagle Project will take place December 11 and 12. The project involves painting two bedrooms at the Ronald McDonald House near Loyola Hospital. The walls in the rooms are chipped and in need of painting. The rooms are occupied by parents of children receiving treatment at the hospital, or adults receiving treatment themselves. The project will take place over two days on December 11 (5:00pm to 7:30pm) and 12 (9:00am to 11:30am, 11:30am to 2:00pm, 2:00pm to 4:30pm). The volunteers will prep the room, move furniture, spackle, and paint the two rooms, working for approximately two hours on Friday night, and eight hours on Saturday. Thirty-four volunteers are needed to work in teams throughout the two days. Please contact Peter at falk05@comcast.net to sign up for one of the shifts or to work out rides to and from the Ronald McDonald House at the shift changes. Please make sure you return a signed permission slip.

Congratulations to our newest Eagle Scout, Dennis Potamianos! Visit our Eagle Scout page for a list of Troop 24’s Eagle Scouts dating back to 1927.

Hello once again-

This past Saturday was a great success and I’m hoping for another successful Saturday of work this Sat, 10/24. If you are available to help from 9 am to noon, please e-mail me at louthenej@gmail.com We will be meeting at the Water Tower and going around town to hang up the students’ artwork.

Thanks,
Elliot Louthen

This Saturday, October 17, I will be conducting my Eagle Project from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Riverside Town Hall. For those who do not know, my project is running the local Halloween Windows program. Instead of participants painting directly on the windows, there is going to be an art day at the town hall. I am looking for help throughout the day from scouts. I know there is a conflict outing that many scouts will be attending, but it would be great if those not attending could help. If you are able to help, please email me, with the times you could work. I am looking for scouts to work 2-hour shifts, but any time that can be given is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

Troop 24 will hold an Eagle Court of Honor for Kyle M. this Sunday, June 22, at 1:30 p.m. at the Riverside Presbyterian Church. The rank of Eagle is the highest award available to youth members of the Boy Scouts of America and is a recognition by the National Court of Honor, presented through the local council and a local court of honor. Only about 2% of all scouts achieve the rank of Eagle, and it is a great achievement for all involved: the Scout, his family, his community, his unit, and the Boy Scouts of America.

The National Eagle Scout Association wants to contact every living Eagle Scout and register his achievements, past and present. If you know an Eagle Scout, please alert him about this important project. Visit the NESA website for more information.
