Dead2Red

The day of the race 30 minutes before it's start.


This year troop 806 ran the annual Dead2Red relay race, you start the race at approximately 4 o'clock in the after noon at the wadi mujib bridge, and finish the next day in Aqaba. Our Scout/A.C.S. team came in 11 place at 17.5 hours. We ran through the night on the dead sea highway. When we got to Aqaba we were tired, physically soar and proud to succeed. Even though we had a few drop outs near the end our team had the Will to Succeed and pulled it off. We rested all day and then came to the Dead2red Banquet where they hand out awards such as youngest team, oldest runner, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams. Even though we didn't win any awards  we were glad that we finished the race in the top 20.

Eagle Court of Honor

Another one of troop 806's scout has achieved the glorious rank of Eagle. There are many things that describe an eagle scout, one is leadership, and another is responsibility. Eagle scouts need the responsibility to lead other scouts, and guide them so they too could achieve the rank of eagle. Tenderfoot one day Eagle Scout the next, it takes hard work and commitment to work your way up the ranks of the Boy Scouts of America.
