On Sunday, January 16 we hiked up Chirico Trail on Tiger Mountain. Our destination was the paraglider launch area on the way to the summit at PooPoo Point. Our troop group of 12 Scouts, 7 adults and one dog was joined by four Webelos scouts from Pack 629 and 633 along with their parents.
It was a nice hike about 3.2 miles and gaining 1650 feet. Although it had rained very hard all night before, the day's hike was somewhat muddy, but not too bad.
Everyone appreciated reaching our destination: the Paraglider launch field where the wind was blowing strong. We did get a peek-a-boo view through the clouds to see the height we had accomplished. No paragliders were flying this day, but we look forward to coming again on a clear day!
Brian Helmholz's Eagle project on October 16 2010, was to re-establish a native habitat to the outer reaches of the Lost Meadow trail at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. We, as a crew, planted a number of larger trees on the outer edges of the trail that will grow as time goes on to help isolate the gardens from the non natural world, and we planted several hundred low shrubs that will expand and multiply in the area to replenish natural life in the area.
Thanks to the volunteers that attended, the project was a complete success and we managed to plant past the planned areas.
October 16, 2010. Jeffrey Pyke's Eagle Project workers cleared stumps and invasive plants at a trail head entrance in the Newport Hills Community, then planted native trees and shrubs and put down mulch. The entire area was diversified and beautified and the community was very grateful for the scouts' hard work. With over 20 helpers, the volunteers put forth a total of over 45 hours of community service.
On September 18, 2010, the Troop participated in Harrison Kwik's Eagle project at the Jubilee Reach Center. The group constructed a sitting area outside the center, a community center dedicated to supporting undeserved youth, and building families and communities.
The project consisted of a paver-laid patio, two benches, and two potted trees. The patio was made to accompany the sign in front of the building, and to provide a place where people can socialize and sit outside. The project took one whole day plus two part-days to complete.
As part of a Wilderness Survival Merit Badge course, the Scouts learned and demonstrated survival priorities, building an emergency shelter, purifying water, collecting drinking water via transpiration and signaling for assistance to be rescued.
