Goodness are we excited to tell you about all the activities of Crew 91. But nothing could excite us more than to announce Trevor has begun his Eagle Scout Service Project! Woot, woot!!
Over the past four months Trevor has been collaborating with the Chilllicothe Historical Society to bring you a renovated cottage. He has diligently sought out advisors to help him along his way. With an adult representative each from the Historical Society and the Crew, Trevor has laid the foundations to complete his Eagle Project well in advanced of the date desired by the Historical Society.
The little cottage behind the main building of the Chillicothe Historical Society used to be a detached garage. Today it functions as a Cottage with displays about the local area. However, it has been in need of an exterior overhaul for sometime. When Trevor approached the Historical Society it did not take long for them to propose residing The Cottage, painting the windows, replacing two exterior doors, and repairing an exterior light fixture. The old wood siding was peeling and chipping and the windows were looking a little dreary.
Trevor’s first day of service got off to a great start on Saturday, April 11. While a couple of people worked on replacing the exterior doors the rest of the group got started with the residing. Goodness, what a difference vibrant white vinyl siding makes on a building with previously cracked and chipped paint!
After just a few hours of service the siding was coming right along. The side door was a little bit of struggle but the volunteers persevered and the stubborn exterior door was conquered! Trevor has done a great job not only organizing the necessary supplies for the project but seeking guidance from more experienced adults to learn the ins and outs of residing a building. He’s learned new skills and in turn taught others the skills he has learned. In the end, that’s the purpose of an Eagle Scout Service Project, to grow and then to grow others. Nothing like the teaching E.D.G.E at work!
