Summary: We had our first Bridge of Honor! Since we are the founders of the ship, the Skipper awarded us with Plank Owner Certificates. Our Boatswain received his Apprentice Rank and his Sea Scout Marksmanship Award for Intermediate Rifle. He is the first in this unit to receive these awards. We also had our first Landship Ceremony. The script was a little much. So for next time, we will shorten it. We ended the night with our first Admission Ceremony.
Catfish Habitat Placement
Catfish Habitat Placement
Event: Conservation Project
Date: Friday, June 12 from 1500 to 1800 EDT
Location: Joseph A. Citta Scout Reservation At Brookville
Summary: We made five Catfish habitats for Citta's lake. The materials we used were blue watertight containers, concrete, and nails. The Boatswain spent an hour doing prep work the Monday before. He took the containers and got rid of the lids. Next, he drilled nails into the containers. Then he mixed and poured concrete into the containers. The nails were for holding the concrete while it set.
On Friday, the ship showed up to place the habitats. The scouts quickly got to work drilling holes in the top of the containers. This was to make sure that the containers had no air at the top when placed into the lake. Next, we headed to the boathouse. We found PFDs and oars for everyone. Then we got into three rowboats and placed the habitats.
