Find a scout who his working on an eagle. They each have to have a big public project to plan and achieve. They can recruit other scouts to help. If you are in a rural community where students can walk to or gather at a cemetary without a school bus (most schools can't afford field trips anymore) find a social studies teacher who has assigned a geneology project. It would not be unusual for a student to find their ancestors buried in the cemetary near their school. ----- Original Message ----- From: Victoria To: MO-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 7:52 PM Subject: Re: [MO-CEM] Cemeteries in disrepair Dear Kathleen, I too think this is an excellent idea.
