Tor Anderson Eagle project Nov 22-23

Posted on Oct 1 2025 - 8:04am

I’m excited to announce my Eagle Project, and I need your help to make it happen! We’ll be working with Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired at their beautiful Enchanted Hills Camp in Napa. The project will focus on renovating a bridge that kids, adults, and even horses use to cross a stream and enjoy the outdoors. This is an awesome chance to do meaningful work while also having a fun Troop adventure.

We’ll plan to leave Saturday morning (scouts should plan to eat breakfast on their own) and arrive at the site around 10 AM. We’ll then spend the day working, with lunch and dinner provided. Scouts will camp overnight at the site, and on Sunday, we’ll wrap up in the morning or early afternoon, depending on how much we accomplish the day before. Breakfast and lunch will be provided as well.
