On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Saturday Claude and I went to church meetinghouse as our first stop of the day. Quinn Parret is working on his Eagle Scout requirement and we wanted to take a few pictures that Claude would try and get in the Georgetown NewsGraphic.
Quinn's Eagle Project is to collect food for the Amen House in Georgetown which helps fill some of the food needs of those in need. Quinn set up routes throughout Georgetown, prepared 1,300 bags with notes in them and requested the help of other scouts and their parents to accomplish his goal. He has created careful tracking records of every step of the process. A week ago the scouts in his troop and their parents delivered the bags with the information about their purpose and the date they would be collected. Last Saturday was the pick-up day. Again the scouts in his troop and their parents covered the routes the bags had been delivered to the week before to collect the food donations and bring them back to the church. Monday, Quinn would go down and take the food from the church and deliver it to the Amen House.
What a great project!! How nice to do it at a time other than Christmas. Quinn is definitely fulfilling that portion of the Boy Scout Oath which says he will "help other people at all times". Great to see youth doing good things with their time and their lives.
