Gilligan Eagle Project – May 18

Posted on by

Joe Gilligan is working on moving sand and gravel Saturday for his Eagle Project. Work starts at 10:00am at the Worthington Fire station on High Street. If you want something to do for a while, he would love the help; bring a pair of work gloves and if you have a shovel to spare, that would be great. You don’t have to give a lot of your time, every little bit helps. Thank you!

Troop Service Project – May 11

Posted on by

River Clean up — 8:45AM at the tennis court parking lot off of West Wilson Bridge Road (the downhill turnoff on the right, just before you get to the curves on the east side of the Olentangy River). Wear gloves, boots, old clothes, and bring water bottle, sack lunch, and a bright cheerful smile.  We usually go until 1PM, depending on the amount of trash along the bike path and surrounding area — it might be earlier.
