180th Fighter Wing Partners with Boy Scouts of America to Promote STEM
A Webelo scout assigned to the Boy Scouts of America's Erie Shores Council, gets an autograph from Capt. Roy Poor, an F-16 pilot with the 180th Fighter Wing, Ohio Air Ohio National Guard, during a Construction City event at the 180th Fighter Wing, Sat. Nov. 21, 2015. The 180th FW partnered with the Boy Scouts of America’s Erie Shores Council to host the annual event for more than 450 scouts, parents and volunteers, who took over the hangar during the 0ne-day event to build cities and bridges entirely out of cardboard. Throughout the event, scouts learned about the construction process from acquiring proper permits, zoning, design, construction and demolition. Scouts assigned to the building division were able to build any structure they could imagine. The structures were then judged based on merit. Scouts in the bridge building division built bridges 12 feet in length and were tested based on the amount of weight it could support. The strongest bridge wins. The 180th FW is committed to maintaining strong ties with surrounding communities by supporting those who support us.
