Scouts Practice Pipe Plumbing!

On December 8th, the scouts of Troop 626 learned how to sweat copper pipes. Sometime down the road, they may be faced with fixing a broken plumbing pipe and they’ll be able to fix it for their Mom or Dad.

Both Logan S. and Cory B. lead up this project by preparing the materials, organizing the meeting, and preparing and delivering a training session for the troop.

All of the boys learned how to measure, cut, flux, and solder copper plumbing pipe. They learned about elbows, tees, caps, and straight connectors. They learned how to safely fire up a torch while being prepared with leather gloves and goggles.


When they use this new skill in the future, they’ll remember that they learned this skill in their Boy Scout Troop 626.

Cory and Logan - Thanks!
