Starting in March 2026, we made a few behind-the-scene changes in the way we record advancement with three goals in mind: (1) focus attention on the actual, written requirements, (2) empower the Scouts to better understand and update their progress, and (3) reduce errors we find during the Court of Honor preparation.

Here are the leaders for the spring term. We enjoyed ILST on Sunday 3/1.

Congratulations to Rhys Jowers of the Phoenix patrol, who completed his Eagle Board of Review on February 17, 2026.  His project developed compost bins for the Murchison Community Garden.  Rhys is the 315th Eagle Scout from Troop 3, and the first one to earn the Eagle rank through Crew 4.  Way to cross the finish line Rhys!
