My name is Zach Garfield and I’m a senior at JJ Pearce High School. I am a Life Scout in Troop 1001, and currently I’m working on my Eagle Scout Project for the benefit of Pearce High School. My project will entail building 5 picnic tables for an outdoor learning space in the courtyard at school, along with flattening the soil and laying down gravel.

My workdays will be this Thursday through Sunday (January 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th).  Please sign up for a shift (or several) on my Signup Genius by clicking ZACHWORKDAYS

The funds I raise will be used for purchasing materials such as wood, sandpaper, stain, gravel, bolts/screws, snacks for volunteers, and transportation. If I have funds left over when I finish my project, I will donate them to Student Government to help with the renovation of the courtyard. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could pitch in and help make this project a reality.  The link to my fundraising site is HERE

Register for a possible Sea Base adventure HERE

The crew will determine the adventure. 

Scuba

Sailing

Outer island

This registration is just for indications of interest- not a firm commitment. 

Registration for 2025 treks opens on January 18. There are many possible adventures to choose from. Some treks that the troop has done in the past include: scuba, coral reef sailing, and outer island adventures. Each of these require 6 to 8 persons. Anyone interested in Seabase for 2025 should go to the troop website under event registration and show the adventure you are interested in and we will need some parents to go as well. This should be done before Jan 1, 2024 We will have a meeting on Jan 8 at 6:15PM in Rm 2 of scouts and parents to decide which adventure we want to register for on Jan 18 (that registration will require a nonrefundable deposit at that time).

If you have questions, contact Mike Reisinger.

Scouts and Scouters, we have extended the Winter Camp registration to 6 PM, Wednesday, December 20.

At this time we do not have enough scouts registered to make this winter camp feasible.  We need several more scouts to register.  This is by far the easiest and most fun way to earn your merit badges and have an AWESOME weekend with all your scout friends (in nice, warm cabins instead of tenting at other winter camp options).  If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Michelle Jackson or Amber Braunreiter and they can explain it all to you.

It is a two step registration process:

• Classes https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E084FABA92F4-46262817-troop  
• Camp information/registration/payment https://troop1001.org/node/3882

NEW: We added a new class to Saturday afternoon! Thank you, Ms. Ogden, for teaching American Heritage.

Popcorn shifts available Saturday and Sunday at Tom Thumb.  If you want to make money for high adventure or other camping events, sign up and sell popcorn.  You can sign up in the TRAILS END APP.

I have completed the renovation of the Pearce Mustang Baseball Clubhouse – thanks to all of the adults and Scouts that helped me. I am still short about $500 of my fundraising goal. If you are able, I would appreciate any donations. You can get to my gofund me HERE 

Thank you,

Davis Jackson

We have some very important and expensive troop equipment missing. Please check your garages for any tents or tent-poles that you may have taken home to clean/dry after a campout and please get it back to the troop so we have the equipment we need to go camping. These tents/poles are relatively new and are quite expensive to replace.
