New Garden Built at Mission Transitional House
Thanks to Eagle Scout, Ryan Backman, and his fellow Scouts, we now have 3 vegetable gardens at the Mission’s Women and Children’s transtional house.
Ryan understands how important and therapeutic planting and growing vegetables and plants can be for people. So he took it upon himself to raise money for supplies and gather his fellow Scouts to assist with this garden project. Not only did Ryan and the Scouts build 3 gardens, but they also pulled weeds, trimmed trees and bushes, and mowed the lawn. The garden and yard all look wonderful now.
This garden will provide the moms and children with a positive activity to work on together while living at the house. Children especially love planting vegetables, watching them grow, and then eating the “fruits of their labor”. It is fun, healthy, and rewarding all in one.
THANKS RYAN and FELLOW SCOUTS – you all did a wonderful job and blessed the ladies and children!!!



Congratulations Ryan and Troop 299. It was so good to see the Troop reach out into the community and spread their wings. This was a terrific eagle project that really demonstrates what Boy Scouts is all about.
