Landon Stuart’s Eagle Project

At the Hermann Park Conservancy, there is a generously sized community garden that holds many crops that the people working there tend. They grow these plants so they can donate the harvestable produce to people who are in need of food and that may not be able to get fresh fruits or vegetables elsewhere.

My project is to restore the physical garden beds which have been slowly aging and decomposing over the years. I am looking to fix three of the planter boxes. The cost for each planter box is $1200 and the total amount I am looking to raise is $3600. I need this money to be able to afford the restorations. Please donate to help a friend in scouting give back to the community that taught him to do so.

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.
