During our visit to the Rhode Island State House for our annual Report to the State, our Scouts had the opportunity to teach some Eleanor Slater Hospital - Zambarano Campus patients the art of knot-tying, a valuable skill learned through our Scouting programs. Our Scouts were happy to pass their knowledge along to these eager-to-learn individuals, making us all proud. It was an honor to share this day with Eleanor Slater Hospital - Zambarano Campus at the State House. Recognition of our combined efforts in our respective fields is not only amazing but also well-deserved.
