    Before we leave the month of September where we discussed the meaning of "Thrifty" and we head into October to think about the meaning of being "Brave" we should take a moment to remember once again the events of 9/11 where ordinary people discovered what being brave really meant.

    This is a video of the "Boatlift" from 9/11.  We need to realize that all of us can make a difference when the opportunity arises.  A quote from a New York Boat Captain: "I have one theory in life, I never want to say the words I SHOULD HAVE, if I do it and I fail, I tried..if I do it and I succeed, better for me, and I tell my children the same thing, never go through life saying YOU SHOULD HAVE, if you want to do something, you do it."

    The Scouts and Families of Troop 33 turned out in great numbers this past weekend for Aric Leong's Eagle Leadership Project!   The work involved cutting down dense undergrowth on the "Island" in Kaaawa Valley, repairing two access bridges, cutting the existing Hau Brush Canopy and repairing an existing stairway.

    The entire process was complicated with the simultaneous ILH Cross Country Meet in the Valley above but the Troop 33 forces proved once again to be unrelenting and put forth an incredible effort on both Saturday and Sunday.  The volunteers that stayed on Sunday were treated to a bus tour of the Valley and all of the Movie Sites.

    Thank you all for spending your weekend with us and for unselfishly giving your time and effort to help Aric achieve a lifelong goal and to help Kualoa Ranch expand their Educational reach to our community.  Troop 33 truly is an exceptional collection of scouts and families!!
