Volunteers should know how to safely operate a range of tools, have experience working with different materials, and be able to teach others what they know.

Some Work Camp projects may include replacing windows and doors, building wheelchair ramps, building stairs, installing skirting and siding on mobile homes and widening interior doorways.

Each contractor will be responsible for leading a team of five youth and an adult chaperone in the completion of a work site project.

New Eagle Scouts

Father Daniel Beeman, pastor of Holy Trinity, Norfolk, is flanked by two new Eagle Scouts from his parish. Robert Paul, right, a senior at Granby High School, and Will Melhuish, a junior at Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School in Virginia Beach, are both members of Troop 24 in Norfolk sponsored by Larchmont United Methodist Church in Norfolk. For his Eagle service project, Robert coordinated mortar repairs to the Grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe on the grounds of Holy Trinity. Will’s project involved creating a rain garden at the Virginia Zoo, with the help of disabled adults from Eggleston Services, Norfolk Master Gardeners, and fellow Scouts. Father Beeman said the Invocation and Benediction at the awards ceremony at Larchmont, then raced back to Holy Trinity in time for Saturday vigil Mass.
