TROOP 338 EAGLE SCOUT Hall of Fame since re-inception, April 1987
"I believe in the Boy Scouts of America as a movement which has, as its aim and purpose, character building and citizenship training. I believe it to be a movement that helps a Scout become master of his own powers, helps him get along with other people, and helps him find a worthy use for his powers. I therefore believe it is my duty to do my best to obey the Scout Oath and Law. I hereby renew my faith in Scouting and promise to do what I can in service to other Scouts who have not come this far along the Eagle Trail."
#26 Trevor Bergeron 3/24/2010 Four Eagles Newspaper Article
  Trevor's project constructed about 755 feet of trail plus a 16 foot long bridge in the Samuel A. Tamposi Water Supply Reserve in his hometown of Barrington, NH. The project created an accessible, safe, durable bypass trail for hiking, bicycling, and cross-country skiing, to pass around a heavily damaged central trail, which had been become submerged in a beaver pond. A previous attempt to circumvent the waterway had become submerged and muddy for most of the distance. The bridge spans over a headwater brook at a point about halfway through the new loop trail, and allows access to miles of other trails in the reserve. Signs and blazes were added to help direct the public onto the new path and so it was visible when covered with leaves or snow. Permits and approvals were obtained from Barrington Town Council, Conservation Commission, and State DES officials.
#25 Stephen Shea Jr. 1/27/2010 Four Eagles Newspaper Article
  Stephens's project was to clear brush and clean up the historic site of the circular stone foundation by the Salmon Falls river and the old South Berwick Counting House. The foundation is usually mistaken for a railroad turn table, but was actually the footing for a coal gas container. The coal gas was used for lighting the old water-powered factory during the late 19th century and was technologically significant for its time. Stephen also built park benches and a plaque marker describing the site and had it added to the local "Hike Through History" trail. Stephen worked with the Old Berwick Historical Society, the 157th Civil Engineering Squadron at the Pease Air National Guard Base, Photopanels of New England, Troop 338 volunteers and several other local community supporters.
#24 Billy Walker 12/22/2009 Four Eagles Newspaper Article
  Billy's project was to create a database cataloging Veterans' graves in all the cemeteries of South Berwick. This project used GPS technology to pinpoint the actual gravestone locations, with a written record of the veteran's name and info on the markers and a digital picture of each headstone. The many Veterans recorded are from as far back as the Grand Army of the Republic and at least one lost marker was uncovered during the project, in addition to other historical data. The database can be posted to the world-wide web so that friends and relatives can find the resting places of these servicemen.
#23 John Spezia 12/22/2009 Newspaper Article
  John's project was to construct a two-section, heavy-timber bridge in the 88 acre South Berwick Town Forest to preserve a section of the nature trail. The project required getting permits from several agencies and working with the Conservation Commission to build a safe crossing over a muddy and damaged area of the trail on the land off Knights Pond Road. Members of Troop 338 as well as members of Troop 340 from Eliot helped with the project, improving the trail that was created by previous Troop 338 Eagle Scouts.
#22 Ed Hanson 8/27/2008 News Release Article

#21 Sam King 7/22/2008
  Sam's project was working with the Town of South Berwick to map the locations and condition of stop signs. The project grew in scope when Sam agreed to work with a software developer at UNH to test a new municipal GPS and maintenance database program as part of his project. In addition to gathering more extensive data than originally planned, he also coordinated with Town management and the software development team to debug the program and make needed upgrades. Besides providing the planned maintenance and improvement data, the project also proved of value to other town departments. The project involved coordinating various teams from the Town, UNH and scouts, and showed that the software could potentially be adapted to other municipal tasks.
