Eagle Nest Choir

Dear Scouting friends,

Here it is.  Please forward the message below and the attached document to Eagle Scouts, parents, and other key volunteers that would be able to help us identify 364 Eagle Scouts for this once in a lifetime opportunity (the largest Eagle Nest ever assembled.).

Thanks for your help.
