Chris B's Eagle Project (Before Photos_

Chris B's Eagle Project was to improve the Rectory and Convent Gardens of our sponsor, St. John the Evangelist Church.   Here are a couple of before photos from the Rectory Garden.

Harper's Ferry

We went on an overnight trip to Harper's Ferry on Saturday, March 21-22, 2015. There were two other BSA troops also there this weekend. We went on a
7 mile hike to Jefferson rock and back to the campsite.

First we did a hike,
Then we prepared foil chicken with potatoes and vegetables for dinner. Later we made s'mores around the campfire and sang songs. In the morning we made a campfire after we had mass and then we ate breakfast.

We had a service project to complete before leaving the campsite at the International Hostel. We painted the walls in the cabin. One group painted and one group put wall paper on the walls. Then we returned home.

Scout Sunday 2015

This year, after many years, Scout Sunday was celebrated in a big way.  Our pastor, Fr. Calis, made it a huge point in recognizing us and calling all Scouts and Leaders present to the altar for a special blessing.

This year, seven (7) Scouts completed the following Rosary Activity Mysteries:  Glorious, Joyous, Luminous, and Sorrowful.   The scouts are:  Christopher B., Colin B., Ben C., Matt J., Aidan M., Ian O., and Evan S.

One leader, Mr. Walsh, earned not only earned all of the Rosary Activity Mysteries but also the Pray the Rosary Achievement, which indicates he knows how to pray the Rosary.

Title: Passing Away of Mr. Clements

Taken from the Washington Post:

Charles A. Clements III, 77, owner of Clements Landscape in Silver Spring, Md., for 57 years, died Nov. 22 at his home in Silver Spring. He had Parkinson’s disease, said a daughter, Jennifer Hall.

Mr. Clements was born in Washington and raised in Silver Spring. He operated Clements Landscape from 1957 until he retired and closed the shop in March. His memberships included the Professional Grounds Management Society’s D.C. branch.

++++++++++++++++

It should be noted that Mr. Clements’ sons were members of the our Scout Troop and he was one of the founders (if not the founder) of the Christmas Tree Sale.

Our condolences go out to the family of Mr. Clements. 

As one of our Scout Leaders would say:  May the Great Scoutmaster of all Scout be with us until we meet again.
