Troops 323 & 3323 Phoenix Arizona
Our scouts assembled at Thunderbird High School on May 2nd to complete Ava’s Eagle Project. Under the leadership of Ava, our scouts greatly improved the school’s garden area, trimming branches, removing an old rotting trellis, and installing a handrail across a rocky area. The area is used by the school’s special education students and the handrail gave them a much safer way to reach the garden.
Howie constructed several benches for Liberty Wildlife for his Eagle Project in February 2025. On the first day of his project, he led our scouts in painting the cinder blocks we’d use, and adding primer to the wood planks to protect them. On the second day, we moved the materials into place and constructed the benches, after flattening the ground around them so they’d be level.
On Friday March 11 through Saturday March 12 Troops 3/323 came together with other scouts to help Connor Perdue completed his eagle project, bringing him one step closer to earning the Eagle Rank. Several volunteers gathered at Saint Mark’s Lutheran Church to assist Conner with his project. Conner’s project was to create a concrete trash pad for the Church. Scouts dug out an area for the pad to go and scattered all of the excess dirt. They assisted in creating the forms for the slab. Finally Around 9:30 AM on Saturday a small concrete truck came and poured the concrete. Now it just needs to cure and the Church will have a trash pad that it will be able to use for years!
A major element of the Scouts BSA is volunteer work, and on February 4 troop 323 and 3323 had another great year of scouting for food. Troop 323 has hosted an annual food drive for Mom’s Pantry (13440 N Cave Creek Rd). Scouts passed out flyers promoting this event the week prior to the food drive. Then on the day of the drive scouts collected bags of food from people’s houses in total they collected 1,911 pounds of food.
Wow, that’s a lot of food!!!
