Today was a fairly routine, paperwork kind of day. Until Carl and Ingred Lindsten arrived. Carl explained that he was a retired professional Scouter from Sweden. He and his wife happened to be visiting the Florida Keys and had stopped at the Brinton Environmental Center earlier.

They took several photos and were kind enough to allow me to take a photo of them in front of our BSA Centennial / FSB 30th Anniversary seal. So while I had the camera out I took a few photos that relate to earlier posts.
Phase one of the sea wall repairs was completed last Friday as I recall (minus setting the Habitat back in place). This section of sea wall is about 80 feet long and cost nearly $100,000.
Here are “before” and “during” photos of the exterior repairs to the staff housing unit referred to at the Annex. It is the original motel from the old Tollgate Inn.

The volunteers who are doing this project, plus landscaping and much more are Steve and Leah martin, Warren and Carol Bacon, John and Marlene Reilly and Walter and Maxine Frost. When they finish here, they will go to the Brinton Environmental Center and meet up with Dennis and Karen Bobo and do even more good works there. These folks are the epitome of Scouting volunteers.
