Yard Charge and Byzantine Monastery
November 5-6, 2005
Cleveland and North Royalton, OH
Members
of Troop 810 met at Assumption Church at 8:00 AM. After
taking attendance, we drove downtown to the amphitheater
in the Flats by the West Bank of the Cuyahoga River. Then
we enjoyed some donuts and listened to instructions for
the service project we were about to do for the community
of Cleveland. Mayor Jane Campbell was present and talked
to the crowd. Once we had a group picture taken, we left
to go rake yards. The troop raked 10 yards in total, and
then went to lunch at KFC. The following people provided
service to the community Jared, Matt K., Chris, Kevin,
Ryan, David H., Matthew, Steven, Jacob D., Nathan, Peter,
DJ, Alex D., Mr. Makowski, Mr. Mayher, Mr. Dzurnak, along
with several Cub Scouts and adult leaders from Pack 810. After lunch, everyone went home to get their gear and headed out to the Byzantine Monastery for a campout. After setting up camp, we raked more leaves for the sisters! We also had lots of fun playing in the leaves as we raked. Then we had dinner and played an intense game of Capture the Flag. For a snack we had cake and hobo pies and then called it a night. The weather was beautiful for the campout except for Sunday morning when we got a bit of rain. Enjoying a night of camping were Nathan, Justin, David D., Alex D., DJ, David H., Ryan, Chris, Matthew, Steven, Mr. Makowski, Mr. Mayher and Mr. Dzurnak. |
