Nick's Eagle Scout project entailed mapping out all the storm drains in the Gillette and Myersville sections of Long Hill Township, N.J. After they were mapped out, the storm drains were labeled with metal discs reading "No Dumping, Drains to River" that were supplied by the town. Nick coordinated the marking of the storm drains with other members of his scout troop, Troop 59.

THAT’S A QUESTION YOU MAY not have asked yourself very often, if ever. But, it’s one you should ask yourself at least once a year. We can’t stress enough the importance of regularly checking the beneficiaries listed on your life insurance certificates. It is the only way to ensure that the people you want to receive the benefits of your life insurance are the ones who will receive it. Think about the changes that have occurred in your life since you purchased your life insurance. Getting married, having children, losing a loved one, getting divorced, getting remarried—all these life changes affect your responsibilities. Do the beneficiaries currently listed on your life insurance certificates reflect such changes? If you think you need to update the beneficiaries listed on your certificates-either primary or secondary beneficiaries—contact your WPA representative.
