The Texas Army National Guard Training Center Command, located at Fort Wolters in Mineral Wells, donated the lumber. Individuals who participated in the project are as follows: Adults - Cheri and Daniel Dioguardi, Peter Liu, Paul Marks, Paul Schmid, Joe Ceron, PJ Sessums, Pete Paciorek, and John Rentmeester; Scouts - Josef Dawson, J.D. Dioguardi, Patrick Hunter, Sean Hunter, Austin Liu, Peter Rentmeester, Jacob Siebel, Tyrone Whitlow, Brian Sanzone, and Scott Hatcherson.

A special word of thanks goes to Peter Liu, Paul Schmid, and PJ Sessums for allowing the use of their pickups for the gathering of the lumber from Mineral Wells and transporting it to the site. Daniel Dioguardi let the Scouts use his workshop for the cutting and painting of the wood. Mr. Dioguardi was also the supervisor in showing the Scouts how to put the fence together.

Congratulations Scouts on a job WELL DONE!!!

The Pinewood Derby was held at Trinity Cumberland on Saturday, January 24, 2004.

February 2004's campout was a MacGyver Challenge at SR2. The Scouts participated in three challenges and did very well. The campsite was raided by some clever animal(s) who stole only the Oreos and two loaves of bread. The animal(s) was kind enough to put the lid back on the dry goods box. There were three Oreos left and the bread was only partially eaten. The only bad thing the animal theives did was scatter trash from the HUNG UP trash bag over the kitchen area. Not very environmentally or PETA friendly.
