December Eagles

Two more Eagle Scouts have joined the 2008 flock. This evening Matthew Jones and James Brooks successfully passed their Eagle boards of review. Both completed paths that started at Tiger Cub.

I hope to see many more of our scouts after consistent effort over the years. Those who do not grow weary will reap the rewards of persistent work and commitment.

Many thanks to Kate Kiel on a successful "Families Helping Families" service effort by the scouts and their parents. The troop was very generous in their donations and the scouts did a great job in wrapping their gifts. Thanks to all of you for giving to those less fortunate!!!
