Last Tuesday, December 6th, 2016, the Danville Town Council honored Eagle Scout Leadership for 10 Troops in Danville for their “longstanding commitment to serving the community and organizing Eagle Scout service projects that benefit the Town of Danville.” Troop 805 is one of the troops honored with this special award.
Mr. Kent Screechfield – our Scoutmaster Emeritus, represented the troop and received the award on the Troop’s behalf.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Neal Matsunaga, Susan Oki, and Alan Carstensen for being our Eagle Scout mentors. They are the “heroes” – the coaches who help our scouts become Eagles! – We owe them a debt of gratitude…
Thank you Kent and all adults and scouts within Troop 805 for carrying on the tradition of service to our community.

This project is an annual National BSA service project where non-perishable foods are collected for the local food banks. We will go door-to-door with informational flyers requesting donations on Saturday November 14th, and collect and deliver the donations to a central point at the LDS church in Danville on Saturday November 21st. Scouts may choose to participate on either or both days.
This is a great event to bring a friend (1st class requirement 10). Scouts will also earn service hours for rank advancement.
Since our assigned area is large and spread out (roughly 1.5 sq. miles with over 1300 houses), we will need many scouts and drivers to help on both days. Parents who can drive, please fill out the information especially providing your cell phone number.
** Donut breakfast will be provided for participating scouts & parent drivers. **
Contact Mrs. Michelle Marge if you have questions.
