This is a reminder to sign up to volunteer for Zachary Fisher's Eagle Scout project work day on Friday, May 29!

Zachary will be working to update the playground mulch at the Northwest Family Branch of the YMCA of Greater Austin on McNeil Drive. This facility hosts daily summer camps and serves as a year-round recreational hub for local families, so your help will make a big impact.

**What we'll be doing:**
Volunteers will load the mulch into wheelbarrows, transport it to the playgrounds, spread it out, and level it to provide a safe play surface.

**Details:**
There will be one work session. Please come and help out, even if you can only attend for an hour or two! 

**Transportation:**
If any scouts need a ride from the NWHUMC Youth Center, Mrs. Fisher (Zachary's mom) can be there at 8:15 AM. Please contact her to arrange a ride at bnicolefisher@gmail.com or 512-773-7477.

Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you there!

Congratulations to Klein Russell of the Orangutan patrol, who completed his Eagle Board of Review on May 18, 2026.  His project removed and recycled all the metal tree stakes left from the Doss construction.  Klein is the 318th Eagle Scout from Troop 3.  Well done!

Arrive early (6:45) for Order of Arrow elections at the 4/11 meeting.  We need half the troop present for the vote to count!

The schedule is tight for our visitors, so they want us to arrive at 6:45pm to explain things, and then hold the election promptly at 7pm.
