Life Scout Joseph Spivack completes his Eagle Scout Project
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Inspired by these words from our 26th president, Life Scout Joey S. took the final steps towards the completion of his Eagle Scout project. Joey and his fellow troop members of Sea Cliff Boy Scout Troop 43, along with the generosity of members of the community and the generous donation of time and supplies from Port Washington Bicycles, was able to collect 140 bicycles throughout the fall of last year. On Saturday, February 2nd, after much hard work repairing tires, fixing brakes, replacing spokes, seats and many other parts Joey was able to deliver 101 refurbished bicycles to The Interfaith Nutritional Network (The INN) of Hempstead. These bicycles will be distributed through a lottery to 101 lucky individuals. Joey is seen here (second from left) standing next to Mr. Joe Barry of The Inn (far left) along with his fellow troop members and some of the refurbished bicycles.
Leave No Trace
Ata K., a Life Scout with Boy Scout Troop 43 in Sea Cliff, recently completed his training as a Leave No Trace Trainer at Schiff Scout Reservation, as offered through the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. Ata enjoyed a full weekend of intense instruction and memorable fellowship with other scouts from around that area as he went through the training. As a certified Leave No Trace Trainer, Ata will be able to bring his knowledge and experience to local boy scout troops and instruct them in responsible outdoor ethics. The member-driven Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics teaches people of all ages how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly, and is the most widely accepted outdoor ethics program used on public lands. Through relevant and targeted education, research and outreach, the Center ensures the long-term health of our natural world. In its simplest form, Leave No Trace is about making good decisions to protect the world around you - the world we all enjoy.
