Summary
Seven members of Kalamazoo Boy Scouts Troop 211 performed a four-hour service project for the Beaver Island Historical Society, scraping the BOB-S antique fish tug preserved by the Marine Museum.
Open questions
- Is “Historical Trails” the name of a specific Boy Scout heritage or merit-badge award program, and if so which one? The 1989 Beacon report does not say.
- Did Troop 211 undertake any other conservation or trail work on the island during this visit beyond the BOB-S restoration?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
