Eagle Scout Project

Our own Boy Scout Troop 226 has been working in Woodbine lately on St. Mark's Episcopal Church. The work has been led by David Warden who is repainting that historic church for his Eagle Scout Project. The project completed for Boy Scouting's highest rank is to be a significant piece of work completed under the leadership of the Eagle candidate, who leads a group of volunteers in a task that is in service to the community. As an Eagle Scout, I know the value of the project to the scout as well as the community.



I am particularly pleased to see the project helping St. Marks. Members of that church joined with members of Christ Church in St. Marys to hold a welcome service for me and my family on June 4, 2000; my first week of work as a church planter here in Camden County. Individuals in the church have also been helpful to King of Peace and additionally, they are one of the 70 other churches who, as a diocese, bought the land for King of Peace, paid my salary for our first five years, and provided other financial assistance, without which there would be no King of Peace.





I should also note, that members of St. Marks have also worked alongside the scouts in working on their church.

While it would be appropriate for scouts at King of Peace's troop to assist any church of any denomination, and I hope we can do that too one day, I am happy to see St. Marks looking so well cared for and I am thankful to David for taking on leadership of this project.

peace,
