Our First Eagle Scout! - Congrats to William O'Leary

Last night Troop 4 reached an important milestone when William O'Leary passed his Eagle Board of Review and became Troop 4's 1st Eagle Scout.  I am so proud of William for his effort and determination, but I am even prouder thinking back to 5 years ago when William was still 12 and he took a leap of faith and helped start this brand new Troop.  Many of the traits of the Troop that we take for granted were forged by William and his peers and have left a stamp on the culture of the Troop that many who will never know William will benefit from.

William graduates this June from North Salem and will attend Connecticut College this fall as part of their Class of 2022.

On Saturday, May 19th we will hold a public Eagle Ceremony to celebrate William's achievement and I hope you all can join us to celebrate this milestone.  An invitation with details will be available soon.

Behind the Scenes Work to get ready for Camping

Our SPL and the three Quartmaster spent their Saturday afternoon waterproofing and applying UV protection to the new Troop tents as well as the older ones and making sure they were all in good working order.

Then when they were done the Quartermasters split up and took possession of their Patrols equipment for the Spring camping season.  The Quartermasters job is to make sure that all equipment is cared for properly and is available for use on each campout.  Not the most glamorous leadership role but during a campout you know if you have a good Quartermaster or not.

If they do their jobs well you will never remember who your Quartermaster was.

Good job today guys.
