William Anderson explains how to “shoot a point” to members of Swansea Boy Scout Troop 303

December 12th a Sunday, a day of rest, but not for William Anderson - Director of Engineering and Highway Services in Swansea. He spent several hours teaching scouts how to properly survey land for a few possible kayak launches in town. Anthony Celio and William Snell both members of Swansea Boy Scout Troop 303 are looking into the possibility of these being their Eagle projects. Scouts learned about the Sexagesimal System and even a little Trigonometry on Magnitude of angles. Both scouts had a chance to shoot several points and were involved with the entire process. Mr. Anderson will use these points and assist in creating a topographical map of the areas for the scouts so they may go in front of the Conservation Board and others to ask permission to continue with these kayak projects.
