The boy scouts of troop 1130 set out on yet another high adventure trip this time accompanied by crew 1130. Their adventures location was Florida sea base. Florida sea base is located on lower marathon key in Islamorada FL. the scouts and venture crew split up into two large sailing vessels that makes a total of four boats the jewel of Athena, silver crow, siesta, and the chanticleer each for a six day tour on the water surrounding the Florida keys. The night the scouts arrived they were immediately sent on the boats to spend the next few days at sea. The participants were graced with the beauty of a Florida key's sunset. The following days were filled with snorkeling, and sailing. Half way through the week the boats returned to sea base for a day filled with tubing, kayaking, small boat sailing, and volleyball. The scouts had a fantastic time at the midday and before they knew it they were back on the water for a few more days. The scouts had a great time at the end of tour luau in which each boat participated in a number of games to see who would eat first. All in all the scouts had a wonderful time. Many pictures were taken but I could only select a few for the write up please ask any participant for pictures.

This year Boy Scout Troop 1130 of McLean, Virginia held its annual mulch sale and delivery. On February 26^th the scouts sold mulch throughout McLean to help raise money for the Troop’s activities. The scouts spent all day going door to door, selling mulch and accepting donations. The generous families of McLean purchased 6,480 bags of mulch and donated over $600 dollars to Troop 1130.  Mulch delivery was held one month later and was a huge success. All the families of Troop 1130 were present to help, drive trucks, carpool scouts, feed the hungry scouts and parents, keep the yard clean and deliver mulch. The mulch sale was a overwhelming success thanks to the help of many great parents, past and present as well as scouts of all ages and sizes. Many thanks to Tuckahoe Recreation Club and the Charles Wesley United Methodist Church for allowing us to use their facilities during the mulch delivery and throughout the year.

            On March 26, in the early hours of the morning the boy scouts from troop 1130 gathered at Tuckahoe recreation center to participate in our annual mulch delivery. Almost every scout was in attendance as twice as many parents. The navigators and drivers set out with trucks full of mulch with chase cars right behind them filled up with eager scouts ready to help the troop. The troop sold everyone of its bags of mulch and finished before the day was over. Many thanks to the parents and scouts who help make this mulch sale a success.
