October 12, 2019 - Beaver Day and Annual Member Meeting
Mount Norris Scout Reservation Fall Beaver Day
October 12, 2019
On a beautiful sunny fall day there was 27 gallons of paint spread! (Just kidding.)
Today’s efforts were mostly prepping for the winter season.
Members:
Bill Baron George Beach
Mary Beach Jay Benson
Paul Cook Karl Grupe
Craig Hawkins Kurt Johnson
Kevin Macy Mike Macy
Phil Tenney,
attended and enjoyed the day. A whole lot of wood was split, the dive shack and QM shed were repainted. The new campfire benches sealed and a few bulletin boards were stained.
There was some tree work accomplished in the area of the Equinox shelter in preparation of a roofing job in the spring.
Some “fit and finish” work was done in the Staff Cabins.
A break in the workday allowed the Annual Meeting of the MNSRAA to be conducted followed by the First Kevin Macy Hot Dog Lunch. Lunch-goers were encouraged to experiment with new hot dog toppings including a sriracha/mayo spread. Yummmm! Many thanks to Mary and George for the excellent lunch!
We look forward to seeing you all at the Spring Beaver Day.
Allow me to remind you in a gentle & kind way that dues will be payable soon. It is only your generosity that allows us to do all that we do. Thank you all for all you have done.

Pictured below is the one and only Bill Baron, taking charge at the MNSRAA booth for the day on August 3rd. Glenn Macy also was on hand, spending most of his time doing guided tours around camp. The event was successful with ten new members added to our Association. John Sonnick, the Event Chair also took many photos throughout the weekend, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/scoutingmonument/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1158873824294513
Pre-camp Beaver day Sequel... "Git er done"
Following up the tremendous work done by the National Guard, we needed to replace the leaking roof on the handicraft building. Despite the millions of black flies, Alumni members rallied to get the job done. Pics are HERE.
Pre-camp Beaver Day with the National Guard
WOW! One word to sum up the incredible work done this Spring by the National Guard and MNSRAA. Here's the short list of what was accomplished:
- Work for the Route 100 new sign.
- Office building Planning process….including the multitude of rounds of paperwork for the DC approvals…..
- Office Building Roof
- Office Building Porch
- Your Electricians installing Porch lighting and Exterior Outlets with our resident Volunteer Master Electrician – Steve Dow.
- Locating underground utilities
- Providing equipment support to move the large and heavy & wet Hemlock seating slabs for the new Camp Fire Seating.
- Digging septic Test Pits Friday
- Your Engineer Team located each of these Test pits on your Survey.
- Conducting detailed survey and Topographical work we need for the Camp’s future planning and septic system design work ---- as well as for our designs to resolve some of the Dining Hall Drainage issues…
- Conducting an on-site assessment to generate Bill of Materials – for future Plumbing projects by Volunteers. Allows us the have a List available – so we can go shopping when a Plumber says they can volunteer can be on-site.
- Oak
- Maple
- Health Lodge
- Shower House
- It was great having your Master Plumber’s (Gil) feedback that the main plumbing in the shower house should not be replaced, as the Copper that is in-place is a good solution.
- Your Plumbers this weekend replaced 7 of our 15 Shower stall piping: installing new Valves, Riser Pipes and new Shower heads.
- You resolved the roof eave problem where the foundation wall had popped the end up significantly. I think you ended up separating the wall from the structure – and cutting the wall structure down to the ‘new’ right height….
- Your Team also added Collar Ties for the all of the roof rafters.
- The Amazing Services Team from your Squadron that not only fed your Squadron, but many others – that decided to stay late (and arrive early in the morning, as well as lunches…) to grab some terrific Food.

2018 post-camp work results. October 13, 2018
2018 Fall Beaver Day gets much accomplished.
While the weather was not the warmest or the best, we still had 15 workers show up to give it their all for the day.
George and Mary Beach also cooked up roast pork with all the fixings for a hearty lunchtime repast.
This was followed by a short, but productive annual meeting, where the new Board of Directors was elected. Notes on the meeting should follow soon. Then it was back to work on the projects.
Projects that were worked on included:
2 new campsite bulletin boards
6 new campsite benches
3 new camp-wide campfire benches
New latrine roof in Mansfield
Ample firewood for a year
Trailer load of scrap metal removed.
Final few tent platforms placed
