Potential Eagle Projects
From Scoutmaster Obernesser:
This morning I met with Art Simmons, the Director of the Rome Historic Society. He has a project in mind for a potential Eagle Project. It includes work at the Lower Landing on Martin St. in Rome. (If you were at the fall camporee at Ft. Stanwix, you may remember the place we cleared trees and brush. That is the Lower Landing.) The project includes filling in an old privy pit to preserve it and to build a couple of picnic tables. If you are interested, please contact me.
There is also a possible Eagle project at the Fort, building picnic tables. The Park Superintendent Frank Barrows spoke to me about this last fall. Again, if interested contact me.

Waterball Tournament on June 16
Troop 59 is having its annual Waterball Tournament on June 16th at 6pm at the Deerfield Fire Dept. (DFD Annual Field Days).
All you will need is 5 Boy Scouts (and a change of clothes). Raincoats and helmets/goggles are optional. From 2 different directions 2 teams will spray water at a ball on a wire trying to move it to the other end. Depending on the number of teams, we will have a round robin competition till we have a winner.
You can see some pictures here: Waterball

The family picnic and court of honor is June 15 at St. Thomas Church. It is a covered dish event. The troop will furnish the paper products, meat and rolls. Michele Connelly has volunteered to co-ordinate the covered dish part. She will have a sign-up sheet at next week’s meeting. We need to know what you are bringing and how many are attending.
