Work Weekend 2003

Work Weekend is the chance to go down to Seven Ranges Scout Reservation in the spring and to do your good turn project for summer camp camp honors requirement.  This Year, Troop 17 had to uncover a 10 inch concrete pipe and pour a concrete bottom and then build a catch basin to collect ground run off water.  Below are the pictures of the events unfolding from finding the other end of the pipe to give us a starting point to look, to half of the basin being built.  A brief description of the pictures is under the column of pictures.
