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 Celebrates 75 Years at its annual Baden-Powell Dinner

On February 20^th 2018, the Troop celebrated its 75^th Anniversary at the annual Baden-Powell Dinner. This was a special evening. More than 140 people attended.

Guests included former scouts, former leaders and the Mayor of West U. Memorabilia related to camping, advancement, Eagle Scouts and troop history was displayed. A few photos from the evening are posted here. One of the pictures is of 13 Eagle Scouts from Troop 266. We believe this is the most Troop 266 Eagles ever in one photo. There is also a photo of 24 Eagle Scouts who attended the function. A video produced by Surya Ramakrishnan commemorates 75 years of scouting in Troop 266 can be seen by clicking HERE The video was shown at the dinner.

75 years is a long time. This was a rare and special milestone for Troop 266.
