Happy Holidays!

 

It is hard to believe that 2008 is coming to a close; our Troop has accomplished a great deal over the past year, Glacier/Yellowstone Trip, Camp Parsons, a GREAT group of new scouts and a couple of Eagle Projects completed and even some Eagle Awards presented. I sincerely hope that every Scouting Family will take the time during this holiday season to thank all the parents, volunteers and scouts for their hard work and dedication - after all how many Troops have the opportunity presented to them to visit an active nuclear reactor?

 

Our year fund raiser is moving along very well. We will be wrapping up tree sales shortly and I look forward to hearing our results. A special thanks to the Griffin Family for taking on this function this year - GREAT JOB! Looking forward to 2009 I am certain that we will find many challenges ahead and will address each one with SCOUT SPIRIT!

 

I would like to wish all Scouts and Scouters a Wonderful Holiday Season!

 

Mr. Wells
