It  was a great experience and a great showcase of both scout power and scout spirit last Saturday.  This project required a lot of scout power. I was lucky to have a good number of scouts/parents signed up for this project and together we successfully planted 30 oak trees on the hillside area of the masonic homes.  Simply put, I couldn't have pulled this project if I didn't have enough scout power. The teamwork did make it all possible. I am super glad I  took up this project. The long term benefit of this project is huge!

Last but not the least, our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Williams (and Ms. Rocki ) for constantly assisting and guiding us through this entire process- from helping us transport  the trees uphills, letting us borrow the equipments, guiding us through the digging process and how to handle those heavy tress  to motivating and  helping us keep our scout spirits high till the end.
