For his Eagle project Sam decided to paint a map of the United States on the play ground at Tukes Valley Primary school (where Luke goes to school). This is what it looked like before.
First it had to be blown clear of all debris with blowers.
Then it had to be power washed.
Then the stencil was laid out and the outline of the states was chalked in. That was all done on Monday!!
On Tuesday we gathered to begin painting. Sherwin Williams donated all the paint and shirts for the painters to wear!! So if you need paint for anything we recommend you buy from them!!
Here is Hannah cutting out the stencils for stenciling the initials of the states.
More painting!! It was coming together very nicely.
Then on Wednesday it rained and washed away the chalk. So we covered it up and waited.
On Saturday we were finally able to finish up the Eastern states. (This cute girl is Sarah, a friend of Sam's that he met at EFY and she came down from Kent to visit her uncle and was there to help on Saturday!! This is probably a whole other blog!!) They finished painting, outlined all the states and stenciled on the letters.
It was not all work!! There was some playing going on also!!
And here is Sam with the finished project!! It looks really good. And it is so nice to have it done!! We are very proud of him. He worked hard and kept his crews working. Now we just have to finish up that last merit badge and he will be an Eagle scout!! YEAH!! One down, three to go!! Millie

Good work, Sam. We're proud of you. And you too, Millie, we know how much work it is for Mom to have an Eagle son.
