FIELD TRIP TO MANUFACTURING FACILITIES

I am organizing a trip to visit 2 manufacturing facilities in Charlotte and Salisburry. 

One company manufacturers large Chemical processing vessels and typcially employs highly skilled welders and tradesmen.

The second facility manufactures automated conveyor and robotic systems and typically employs technicians wth electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and programming skills.

Both of these are excellent opportunites to see real life examples of skilled technical work, mechanical and industrial engineering and bow business works.  If you are interested in these fields as a career choice, I challege you to go on this trip to see all the different ways those skills are used and talk to people in the industry about education and internship opportunties.

THIS TRIP IS SPECIFICALLY FOR OLDER SCOUTS.  THIS TRIP IS DURING SPRING BREAK.  SO IF YOU ARE NOT GOING ON VACATION, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS TRIP, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT GOING INTO A TRADE FIELD.  THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW BUSINESSES RUN.

See Mr. McDonald for any questions.

Siler Work Day - SATURDAY MARCH 25th at 8am.

Please help spread pine straw around the church.  

We will start work at 8am and work to completion, so more hands make less work.

Bring Gloves and rakes.

REGISTER PLEASE.

Please Join us to celebrate Luke Hamilton's Eagle Journey on April 3rd at 7pm.
