aBRANDON BALLASSO'S EAGLE PROJECT



Brandon Ballosso wanted to fly with the Eagles but before he could he had to come up with a project worthy of an Eagle Scout. There is a retreat; a camp if you like, called Camp montgomery, belonging to the Presbyterian Church and located near Keystone Heights, Florida.

Vandals, it's believed, set fire to one of the primitive cabins that dot the area surrounding a small lake and it burnt to the ground. Because the cabin that caught on fire was ajacent to it's twin it set it on fire as well causing extensive damage to the stairs and face of the building. Since it remained structurally sound it was decided to rebuild it and so this became the Eagle project of B. Ballaso.

Much planning and pre-work was required; wiring and water had to be replaced and repaired. Finally between October the 28th and October the 30th the man power was provided, all in one day, and the job was completed to everyone's satisfaction. Now, at last, Brandon can fly with the Eagles.
