Eagle Scout Project Update
Come help on August 2nd!

Thank you to members of Boy Scout Troop 197, NES parent Jason Yahne, and other volunteers that helped with the completion of 5 picnic tables on July 19th, to be used on the outdoor pavilion at Nickajack! 

Eagle Scout, and former NES student, Christian Knox, is seeking volunteers for the second phase of the project, which includes sanding the tables and installing gutters. Work will start at 9am on Saturday, August 2nd, and volunteers are asked to bring work gloves, sanders, and ladders if possible.  Any time that you can contribute is appreciated!

Can't volunteer but still wish to help? Donations are still needed to reach the $800 goal to fund this project. Your donation is 100% tax deductible- just make your check out to Westminster Boy Scout Troop 197, and write C.K. Eagle Scout Project in the memo field. Please mail donations to his Christian's home address by August 1st.
