The 2017 Easter egg team created 81 DELICIOUS one-pound eggs in peanut butter, coconut, and butter cream flavors.

How To Live the New Year
Life is a journey; I will live it trustingly: “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me” (Psalm 23:4).
Life is a task; I will live it obediently: “we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (1John 3:22).
Life is a mission; I will live it helpfully: “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another” (Ephesians 4:32).
Life is a contest; I will live it earnestly: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith. Quit you like men, be strong” (1Corinthians 16:13).
Life is a battle; I will live it courageously: “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, for the Lord thy God is with thee” (Joshua 1:9).

Mitchell Terrance Urban: God, Church and Scouting
Mitchell Terrance Urban, recipient of the Religious Knot through the God and Church Program, completed his eagle requirements on June 7, 2016. His benefits echoed a constant theme in NAPS (National Association of Presbyterian Scouters): God, Church and Scouting. Mitchell's project focused on assisting New Covenant Presbyterian Church in Middletown, Delaware with improvement of the grounds.
Mitchell's project consisted of placing a two-foot wide border around both the church and education buildings. He included a six-inch-wide wooden border beside that. Approximately 100 linear feet was completed in the playground area and filled in with mulch. The remaining 500 linear feet was done in 3/4" and 2" stones.
Dirt removed from these areas was then used to level out the ruts and depressions on the property. Mitchell's construction project facilitated much easier and simpler lawn maintenance for the church grounds. The project, with a huge amount of cooperation and hard labor, took a total of 154 hours. Mitchell deeply appreciated the financial and physical support he received to complete the project. Mitchell was delighted when all the work was approved by the Eagle Scout Board of review on June 7, 2016.
In honor of his persistent hard work and completed project, Mitchell was recognized at an eagle Scout Court of Honor on November 19, 2016 at 3pm at New Covenant Church, 1125 Jamison Corner Road, Middletown, Delaware.
NAPS was delighted to be part of recognition of his advancement and welcomed him to the coveted Aerie of Eagles.
