S-8 Engineering Section

Engineering Section Purpose

   Engineering Section (S-8) purposes are quite important within the ISL structure. They give a place for the technically proficient Patriots who want to serve in a Section that allows them to find better way to do things, love of DIY (do it yourself) type projects. These are members that are “skilled trades” type individuals with many different types of skills that loves challenges. Engineering Section (S-8) are the “fixers” of the ISL for problems that arise.  They draft the plans and build items needed in the ISL, especially for Self-Sufficiency projects.
