| Thomas Fitzpatrick and his completed Eagle project. |
Update for Halloween: Today I got to take three classes for tours of the Nature Trail at Armuchee Elementary by way of the new entrance, stairs, and bridge built as an Eagle Project by Thomas Fitzpatrick and his buddies in Boy Scout Troop 113. The leaves at Armuchee are about at their peak. I hope the gorgeous leaves will survive the rain tonight.

| Boy Scout Troop 113, sponsored by First United Methodist Church in Rome, gathered at Armuchee Elementary School on Saturday, October 26, 2013 to help Thomas Fitzpatrick finish up his Eagle Project. |

| Thomas's bridge and stairs project is the sixth Eagle project that I have been privileged to be associated with at Armuchee Elementary, and the twelfth Eagle project on our campus overall. Thomas was a great fourth grader on our team several years ago and has grown into a fine teen. |
 |
| Besides helping Thomas finish up the stairs and bridge, the scouts tidied up the entire trail along the creek, trimming back overhanging limbs, cutting out fallen tree trunks, blowing off the trail to better mnark it, and clearing out debris from under the three bridges. |
