My son

[twoton]

I know this isn’t cub related but it is general talk so here goes. All three of my boys have gone through almost all of the Boy Scout program. We have had a lot of great times together through the program and are proud of the fact (I think) that our Troop is the only Troop in Massachusetts that is chartered at a gun club. Not only do we have access to almost 200 acres of open space, forests, lakes and ponds and streams but also the ranges and the club house. Our club is also adjacent to a 2000 acre state forest.

Well enough about that , what I really want to say is that my middle boy, 17 years old, just completed his Eagle Scout project today. His project was to clear the brush, trees and debris from a historic grist mill, that dated back to 1750, so archeologist could begin their work of unearthing the original foundations, and to construct and install a sign bringing attention to the historically important site. A few pictures;

That was cutting the mortises for the sign frame and chiseling them out and here is shingling the roof for over the sign and setting the roof on the sign frame with me and his younger brother;

And here he is with the finished product along with a representative from the club;

As an Eagle I want to congratulate both you and your Son. This is something the both of you can be very proud of.

My son just earned Star and is pushing hard to earn Eagle before he turns 16. His goal not mine.
