Active Project: Heath Marks’ Eagle Project

My Eagle Scout Project will be 11/16/24 at the City Southside Place Town Hall (6309 Edloe Street). My project has 2 parts. First is installing storm water inlet marking stickers on inlets around the City of Southside Place. Inlet marking stickers remind citizens not to place debris (such as leaves and trash) in the storm drains which help to prevent flooding. The second is cleaning and buffing the City Hall floors, an essential building of Southside Place, to restore shine and appearance.
There will be 2 shifts: 9:00AM – 12:00PM and 1:00PM – 4:00PM. Lunch and snacks will be provided from 12:00-1:00PM. Please meet at Southside Place City Hall at the beginning of each shift.
Use the Sign Up Genius Link here. This will count to Life Rank conservation-related service hours

Troop 266 Holiday Greenery Sale

Troop 266 Scouts are the best! The wreath and greenery sale was a huge success for the Troop.

The Dragons took a big lead over the rest of the patrols right off the bat when Joshua Liu scored a huge sale of garlands to a local developer. However, that did not discourage the other patrols and the sales kept on happening.

The top sellers for items sold, were Joshua Liu, Juan Pablo Contreras and Wyatt Chavez. Top sellers in dollar amount sold were Joshua Liu, Wyatt Chavez and Noah Ryan eased past Sean Rooney and Nathan Wilson by just $5.00. A total of 263 items were sold.

This great effort by the Scouts and their families resulted in sales of $8,011, approximately $5,000 more than the amount earned with last year’s wreath sales. After costs the fundraising contributed over $2,200 to the troop fund and will be used to purchase camping equipment, support for Summer and High Adventure camps, maintain the trailer or cover other troop expenses.

Job well done!

And special thanks to Vivien Liu and Paulette Chavez
