Boy Scout Troop 325 Scoutmaster Minute
April 7, 2009
Andy Duprey, Scoutmaster
My father, who is in his 90's now, often said (and yes I rolled my eyes) do everything as if the most important people in your life were watching, especially when they aren't! He usually said this about my assigned chores, mowing the lawns, pruning the roses (which I hated!) and cleaning my room and the bathroom.
This last weekend a group of our scouts and scouters took my father's advice. They did their work as if the world was watching, knowing that they were not. They cleaned Moreland Woods, including moving, raking, cleaning the pond and removing large amounts of debris.
Mr. Hauschildt, our former Committee Chair and now ASM received the following email yesterday from a Moreland School District maintenance supervisor:
"Todd, I was over by the woods on Saturday and watched the scouts cleaning. Your team did a good job in cleaning the woods and also the pond. Thank you for all your assistance. If you need another project may I suggest the Moreland Community Garden. Again thank you for a job well done. Nick Cazares and Staff."
We heard much the same thing from the teachers at Easterbrook Discovery School.
It is letters like these that make me proud of each of you and the work you do, especially when no one is watching.
Thank you and good night scouts.
