Troop 15 Headstone Placing

   On Saturday, Troop 15 went to the Elma cemetery to place a headstone for the VFW (Veterans of  Foreign Wars).  My brothers, dad and I got there before anyone else and met some men from the Elma VFW.  Coincidentally, they were there to place a headstone too!  So, we ended up digging and setting two headstones.  Here some pictures.

Bill, the Comander of the Elma VFW marking where to put the headstone.

 Tim and Tom digging a hole in the ground.

This was a hole that had collapsed because of the old wooden coffin that was disintegrating.

 The name of the soldier we were honoring

The troop finally arrived and started digging another hole.

After they dug the hole they carried the plaque along with the concrete to the hole.

Jeremy giving me, "The Face."

The name of the second soldier we were honoring.

A well placed traffic cone.

Rodeo Clean Up

We were asked to clean up before and after the Elma Fairgrounds Rodeo on the 26th of September, and we did.  So here are the pictures that were took during the cleaning of the rodeo.

This was how dusty it was when we started.

Boy Scout Canoeing Trip

Troop 15 went on a canoeing trip August 15th, 2010 and had a some fun on the Chehalis river.  Luke's dad (what's his name?) was making sure we didn't fall in the river and kill a fish.

  So here's some pictures I took (and my brother, but I took most of them) on the trip

Unloading the canoes off of Jae's trailer.

Kyle and Timothy unloading another canoe.

All the canoes ready to go.
