Container Painting








Hi Troop 75,

I hope you're all enjoying this gorgeous day in paradise! We are lucky we in live Hawaii! It was a perfect day to do Phase 2 of the Container Service Project. It was so HOT! Minimal breeze and working in the sun. Made for an exhausting morning. I just want to say A HUGE THANK YOU to all the Scout's, Adult Leaders and Parents. Thank You for sacrificing a part of your Saturday to come out and help paint the Containers.

We met at the Momilani Community Center by Breene and Cliff. After a brief instructional meeting. We set up two Easy Ups, a table, chairs and a Water Cooler. We broke up into two groups. One group applying the final coat on the PCCA Container. And the other putting on the primer coat for the Troop 75/Pack 75 Container. We waited for the primer to dry(1 hr.) and applied the final coat. We started at 07:30 am. And were done by 11:00 am. Everyone worked so hard in the blazing sun! Great teamwork and Scout Leadership! The Containers look so nice! Their reflective, so you need sun glasses when you stand next to them in the sun!

One more coat of paint will need to applied to both Containers. And the roof has not been touched yet. We need to apply a Reflective Paint for the roof. The second coat of paint and the roof will be done at a later date. Breene, Cliff and the Momilani Staff were very grateful and pleased with the work we did. I will make arrangements with Breene to set up a time to do Phase 3 of this Service Project.

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came out to help. Thank You to Roxanne Sivalop for bringing the ice. And a thank you to Dan Kiyohiro for picking up the Water Cooler. Thank you to ASPL Daylen for your great leadership in organizing the Scout's and leading the way. Thank You to our Scout's! Outstanding teamwork! We completed the Project sooner than expected. Due to the many hands, it made things go so much faster!

After we cleaned everything up. We had pizza and refreshments afterwards. The Boys went through 6 large pizzas from Sam's in a heartbeat! We had to cut our rest and relaxation short because a lot of the Boy's had to attend the Citizenship In The Nation Merit Badge at 2:00 pm. A job very well done!
