Project Description:
My Eagle Project entailed clearing out a historical Erie Canal lock and dam. The historical lock location resides adjacent to the current canal alignment. The historic lock was overgrown with trees, brush, and other debris and looked like an empty ditch. With the help of the Troop we cleared out the overgrowth and exposed the historical structure for the public to visit. .

Favorite Camping Experience:
My favorite camping experience would have to be the time I spent at the Adirondack Scout Reservation ( Massawepie). The area was so large and there were so many activities to do and of them there always seemed to be something new each year. I think I most enjoyed hiking in the area from past the fire circle, over to the diving rocks and exploring the entire area from the diving rocks to the next cove. To me that hike was a small journey to a remote spot.
