With less than a month to go before the Boy Scouts arrive for the Reaching the Summit Community Service Initiative, area leaders are finalizing details for the historic event.

“We’re taking part in something that has never happened before,” said Christy Laxton, co-champion for the Wyoming County CSI. “We”ll make history and we’ll be history.”

An estimated 2,600 to 3,000 Boy Scouts are expected to visit the county to take part in a wide array of community service projects.

“We’ve had project manager training, and almost all of the projects have had both managers attend,” Laxton stated. “Some have had only one because of people working or other reasons, but we’re going to make sure everybody gets trained.”

All volunteers must have online training in order to participate. Laxton says an evening session will probably be set up to assist any volunteers who do not have Internet access.

Laxton and VISTA Morgan Finley have been going through the details of each project.

“We go through line item by line item,” said Laxton. “We look at the scope of work, tools they will need, if they will need water delivered, need for restroom facilities, where the (Boy Scout) buses will be parked. We want to make sure everything is under control.

“We’ve sent out emails and made phone calls,” she continued. “We’ve done everything we can do.

“We’ve been touching base with project managers and make sure they have daily task schedules,” Laxton remarked. “So if you have a three-day project, we need of list of what you plan for the Scouts to do each day of your project.

“We want to make sure everything is on site before the Scouts arrive,” she added.

There will be a meeting soon with the Instant Command Center on how to handle any emergencies which might arise.

Tour guides for the buses coming in are also required.

The Wyoming County Commission and local businesses have donated funds.

“One business will provide all the bottled water, and another one donated money for gloves and safety goggles for the Scouts,” stated Laxton.

There are 25 projects. “A lot of these are five-day projects,” said Laxton. “Several of them were combined into one line item.

“It’s hard to believe it’s less than a month away,” she stated. “We’re proud to be involved and glad to be a part of it.”

The 7-8 year-old Coach Pitch event gets under way this Saturday at Chapmanville.
