BSA Troop 104, Decatur, IL

This is really cool!

Did you know the person in charge of the parachutes for the Artemis II mission is an Eagle Scout from Decatur?

Jared Daum is an aerospace engineer with NASA and served as the Parachute Systems Manager for the Artemis II mission.

Pretty incredible to see local Scouting shaping leaders who are helping send humans back to the Moon. 🚀

Great job to Declan on his Eagle Scout Project!

You may remember a few months back we shared that Declan Stewart was raising money for his Eagle Scout project… well, he was successful!

His project adds a pull-up bar and parallel bars to our existing equipment, enhancing the space for even more community use.

Yesterday, he dug the holes, today our Public Works crew is assisting with installation, and tomorrow he’ll wrap things up with the mulch base.

Declan has done an incredible job leading this project from start to finish. We are honored he chose Forsyth and grateful we could play a small part in such a meaningful accomplishment. Stay tuned for pictures of the final result!

Congratulations, Declan—job well done! 👏

Knots, cooking, first aid, fire building, orienteering, shelter building, and more...our Scouts put their skills to the test at the Klondike Derby!! They showed great teamwork and won 2nd place in the Junior Division and 1st place in the Senior Division. Great job Scouts!
