owned by the Mohegan<br />
Land Trust. The site has<br />
already created excitement<br />
in Hebron. At<br />
Maple Fest this year, over<br />
60 people went to the<br />
pound where they could<br />
see goats happily grazing<br />
inside the structure.<br />
Nick’s brother, Parker<br />
Aubin, and his friend,<br />
Nate Baribault, hosted<br />
the event.<br />
Czaja’s project likewise<br />
involved restoring an his- Thanks to Billy Czaja and his crew of Troop 28 members,<br />
toric landmark, Prophet’s Prophet’s Rock was restored and made accessible to the public<br />
Rock, located off Bur- for the first time in over a century. It is now one of Hebron’s<br />
most popular “hidden” nature trails.<br />
rows Hill Road. Oral<br />
legends state that Hebron’s<br />
first settlers, who had become separated,<br />
reunited at Prophet’s Rock and decided to settle<br />
the area in 1704.<br />
Czaja and his father, John Czaja, worked the<br />
entire summer of 2008 clearing a 750-foot<br />
path to the rock and creating a picnic table. In<br />
October, Billy and his crew then spread wood<br />
chips (supplied by the town’s Public Works and<br />
Parks and Recreation Departments) all along the<br />
path and moved the picnic table to the summit.<br />
The town subsequently laid gravel to create a<br />
two-car “parking lot.”<br />
In any weather, including snow, one can see<br />
footprints going up the trail, a testament to its<br />
use by area residents. It is the first time in over<br />
a century that Prophet’s Rock has been accessible<br />
to the public.<br />
Troop 28 has the highest number of Eagles in<br />
the country. Other Courts of Honor are currently<br />
being held, and no less than three additional<br />
Eagle projects are already in the planning<br />
stage. It’s not likely that any other troop will be<br />
able to top Troop 28’s record any time soon!<br />
