MILFORD Troop 5 from Dingmans Ferry call themselves The Rainmakers because of a reoccurring pattern of wet weather on most or all of their outings. On one particular Saturday in May, the rainmakers set out to complete an Eagle Scout project with applicant Trevor Herman. The rain threatened the Scouts, but they were able to complete painting the porches of the Columns without incident.

Trevor Herman was the Scout in charge of the project, which included power washing and scraping, then painting all the porches and verandas at the Pike County Historical Societys home in Milford. The stately manse, which serves as the official historical society to Pike County and is a local history museum, gleamed in the daylight with fresh paint coating its rails, decks, and ceilings.

Scout Master Kevan Kelly and his Rainmakers have helped out the Columns before; last year they repaired and painted the Schocoppee Schoolhouse and undertook a spring cleaning project at the Museum.

Mr. Kelly and the Scouts have been very good to the Society, and I have enjoyed the time they have spent at The Columns over the years, said The Columns museum director, Lori Strelecki. I very much appreciate their love of history and dedication to their community.
