Eagle Scout Project Progresses Further
In early August, a work group met in Crossan Park to continue work on Joseph G's Eagle Scout project. Everyone worked together to drill holes, and place PVC pipes surrounded by concrete in Sonotubes. This lays the foundation for a removable-mount system for the project's bat box poles, so the Franklin Township can easily remove the boxes to service them when needed!
Stay tuned for the project's completion!

The Cabin
Troop 191 owns and operates a cabin in Avondale PA for rent to Scout groups throughout the year. The cabin, located at 700 Pomeroy Ave, Avondale PA, 19311, sits on a wooded 5 acre property, includes campsites, and has a large fire circle with benches for nighttime campfires.
The cabin has several large meeting rooms, a central room with bunks in the upstairs loft, and a full kitchen with bathroom facilities. The kitchen and bathroom wing is heated, with 3 wood stoves in the other areas for heat. Firewood is available on site for a charge of $50 for the weekend, or you can bring your own.
