The troop typically uses the troop meeting time for inter-patrol activities, demos, rank advancement, and merit badge classes. However, there are times we use that time for community service events. On Feb 16th, one of the scouts from Troop 3 Gaspee asked the scouts of Troop 8 if they would help her work on her Eagle project. She brought the supplies and used the EDGE (Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable) to teach the scouts of Troop 8 what she needed to be done and how to get it done.
The Eagle project was to build turtle enclosures for the Audubon Society. When the Audubon Society visits elementary schools to educate the students on turtles, they will showcase the turtles in the enclosures so the students can sit around the enclosure and from all angles they can see the turtles through the plexiglass.
