My nephew Jonathan just earned his Eagle award in Boy Scouts, which is a really big deal. We were able to help out with his Eagle project a few weeks ago. We did demolition of 2 buildings on the Morro Bay High School campus. The first was an old chicken coop.
He mostly had adults do this one, which involved a lot of wire-cutting. When they were done, they came over to help the rest of us.
The second was this big scrap metal building. It used to have fish in it, or something. It was a huge project, and it took us most of the day to tear it down.
The kids all ran around with crow bars and hammers, banging on the metal, until Jonathan came and organized the masses. He mostly put them in charge of collecting trash and putting things in piles.
There were a couple of minor injuries, but nothing too serious. We were pretty good about wearing gloves.
Jonathan had a good amount of helpers show up. Here's our scout master and our bishop. Our bishop is the principle at Morro Bay High School, and he helped Jonathan set up the project.
Cute!
The best part of the day!
I don't have many pictures of Jonathan. He didn't hold still for long.
Things progressed much faster after everyone from the first project joined us.
After lunch I took all the kids (Tyler on down) home, stopping at Jamba Juice for their free kids day. The little ones may not have been a huge help with the project, but they had SO much fun doing demolition. Thanks for letting them be a part of it, Jonathan!
