Congratulations to our own Dan Miklancic who was awarded one of the two Etiwan District Awards of Merit on Thursday night, 12 February, at Mount Pleasant Presbyterian church fellowship hall, site of the Etiwan District banquet.
Dan was recognized for his dedicated work with the Boy Scouts. He has served two years as Scoutmaster, three years as Assistant Scoutmaster and two years as Troop Advancement Coordinator. Dan was also noted for his volunteer work with home school students and youth at his church, East Cooper Baptist. His example to scouts and scouters has been exemplary. Dan's planning and leadership resulted in a superb Etiwan District camporee last fall at Santee Coastal Reserve.
We are blessed to have a Scouter of Dan's caliber in our troop. As I entered the fellowship hall for the banquet, Dan was sitting at a table filling out a blue card before presenting it to me for a signature...Congratulations Dan on an award well deserved!!!
Congratulations also to John Epperson, who received the other District Award of Merit for service as Pack Roundtable Coordinator and his service to the Cub Scout community. John has been along with our troop on several campouts along with his son, Star scout, Cameron Epperson... indirectly Troop 20 took both District Awards of Merit last night, a nice reflection on our troop which received a Centennial Quality Unit award at the banquet. Keep up the great work scouts, scouters and parents!!!
Wow, so nice and not nearly enough for his contribution. Dan lives by the edict that one never knows his impact on the world until many years later when these boys become men.
ReplyDeleteI would bet anything it will be a very large contribution.
