Eagle Patrol


High water comp. we won.

Eagle Patrol of Troop 77 is the oldest Patrol of the Troop. They have worked very hard to get where they are now. All members have been in scouting for at least 4 years and have participated in a variety of activities. Summer 2003 promises to be one of the best for the Patrol.

Summer Events, Activities, and Service Projects
August, 2003- Eagle Patrol will be participating in the “Tuff” Truck competition this year at the Josephine County Fair (Tuff Trucking is an event where a truck is driven around a dirt track that includes jumps, moguls, and mudpits). In order to do this, we have raised the necessary funds to purchase a truck and fit it with appropriate gear. We bought a 1987 Ford Ranger.

August 3th-5th -As soon as Evan got back from trail-crew, work resumed at full throttle. JD, Travis, Evan, CC, and Mike(A.S.)worked on the truck on Saturday through Tuesday(8/3 - 8/5). We placed some new Gabriel shocks up front, and worked on the rollbar mounts. CC found 4 tires at a garage sale for 5 bucks! Mike helped alot with the cutting torch.Thanks!

August 12th- 13th - CC and Evan kicked it into high gear on Tuesday and Wednesday to get the paint done and everything tied down. A cable was placed under the driveline and the battery was strapped down. The right side is now done The left side, still waiting
