On Saturday March 25th Seadrift Boy Scouts Troop 106 held their 42nd Annual BBQ Plate Fundraiser. Cubmaster Leslie Shirhall said they can’t thank the community enough for its continued support. Each year community members come together to support the local Scouts by generously giving of themselves, whether it be monetary donations or giving their time and energy to help put events like this one together.

Over 1,200 plates were purchased this year and Auctioneer Jason Brumfield assisted attendees who kept their paddles raised in good-hearted competition while attempting to win yummy treats, hand crafted bedding, guided fishing trips and a variety of other items generously donated by community businesses and residents. Cubmaster Shirhall stressed the troop’s appreciation for the community and its continued support and stated that they couldn’t do what they do without it.

As of this printing, the troop has three Scouts currently holding Star Rank who will achieve Eagle Rank this month. After April 26, Cooper Rodriguez, Cash Shirhall, and Kendell Cady can begin work on their Eagle Scout project with the goal of finishing up this year.
