Hello Troop 71, 

My name is Ethan Audette. I have been with Troop 71 since 2019 and Cub Scouts since 1st grade. I am currently the Life rank and working on my Eagle Scout Project. I am reaching out to you all because I need volunteers for my project. I am organizing a donation drive for the Lake County Haven, an organization that houses homeless women and children.
