Nathanael “Teddy” Nappen, Troop 75 Bow, Daniel Webster Council, has completed his Eagle Scout Service Project, which was to help restore the historic Wilson Hill Pistol Club located at 1732 Lake Shore Road in Manchester.

This indoor shooting club provides firearm safety training and marksmanship skills to the public and is a non-profit organization. Scouts can also earn their rifle merit badge at this club.

The building was built in 1948, and the exterior was in disrepair.

Teddy was assisted in the restoration project by 24 volunteers, of whom the majority were scouts and scout parents from Troop 75.

I am so proud of my grandson...he just got his project OK’ed to get his eagle scout badge....Will do it next spring and summer repairing a gazabo and planting flowers in the little park in his neighbor....I told him I would help with the price of the plants.....proud goat granny...

How proud you must be. My two former b-i-l’s are both eagle scouts. Wonderful ceremony too.

Congrats Terry! Job well done!

there are a lot of perks when listing eagle scout for a job and if you go into the military you are bumped up one step on the latter, not conserted a newbe when you are in basic training....those are the only ones I remember.....I am not against a little bribery when he only had 2 to go and was thinking about stopping...now he has the ok for the final. When he makes Eagle, I'll give him 500 dollars toward buying a car. That perked him up but I told him don't forget that money is conditional....he called me a few days ago to tell me his last project was accepted by the counsel..

Yep, granny is proud :O)

Good reason to be proud GG.

My dad had an Explorer group and all his *boys* became Eagles; one of them even went on to be an officer in the National Office. It was quite moving when they came home to be pall bearers at his funeral.

That was quite an honor to him and hard for the Eagles to do...losing one of their own....
