Makahiki Track Build Day 1

Makahiki Track Build 
Day 1

Hi Troop 75 Ohana,

I hope your all enjoying your weekend. A bit warm and humid, but manageable.  A HUGE MAHALOS to the Eshelman Ohana for their gracious hospitality. Thank You for opening up your home so the Scout's had a place to work on their Makahiki Robot Tracks. We had a really nice turn out.


A BIG MAHALOS to all the Scout's and Parents who came out to help. After a little brainstorming the Boy's got started. And it was pedal to the metal from there on. They had many great ideas. Everyone had a job to do. The teamwork and camaraderie was awesome! The Boy's completed 2 Tracks. Each Track is made up of (4) 4'X4' pieces of plywood. Complete with an obstacle course. Each section is interchangeable. And very easy to move and assemble. A pretty ingenious design!

The Boy's learned a lot about carpentry and working with wood. They learned how to safely use power tools and the importance of protective gear. Outstanding job Scout's! Thank You to all the Parents for sharing your knowledge, equipment and teaching the Boy's to measure twice, and cut once. A lesson that will carry on into their Adult life. To always work smart, and work safe.
