Five Millbury scouts from<br />
Troop 109 recently earned<br />
their Resource Stewardship<br />
Scout Ranger Badge and two<br />
earned their Scout Ranger<br />
Certificate. These Scouts, led<br />
by Eagle Scout Candidate<br />

the spillway of the former<br />
Asa Waters Armory—a<br />
gun manufacturer in the<br />
1800s—accessible as a recreational<br />
space. This spillway<br />
historically flowed into the<br />
