Ji-Hoon grows to Eagle

Ji-Hoon Min of Troop 356 in Skandia recently received his Eagle Scout Award. He is with his Eagle Mentor, Barb Dupras.

I first became acquainted with Ji-Hoon in 2004 when he received the Certificate of Merit for using the Heimlich Maneuver to rescue a fellow student choking on a hot dog during lunch at school. Little Ji-Hoon is shown with Nathan Bennett who had taught Ji-Hoon the Heimlich at a troop meeting shortly before the incident.

Annual Meeting

We had a great Annual Meeting. Don Miller and Al Feldhauser were honored with the Silver Beaver Award. Scott Parker was unable to be present due to his daughter's illness.

We were honored to have Curley Verville with us to help with the Eagle Scout recognition. Ten of the 45 Eagles in the Class of 09-10 were able to be with us. Curley has completed 78 years of Scouting and only missed one annual meeting since 1945.

I am glad to be able to continue serving with Don as Council President and Barb Dupras as Council Commissioner.

More Blue and Golds

I am in need of a new camera, which we should get this week, so the pictures below were sent to me. If you have B&G or Court of Honor pictures you would like posted, sent them to me.

Pack 361 had a great Blue and Gold highlighted by the gradutation of 3 Webelos each of whom received a handcrafted arrow decorated to symbolize his accomplishments in Cub Scouts.

Pack 346 had memorable skits. The Tigers appeared as tottering old men. When asked what was the matter, they responded, "What do you expect, Scouts are 100 years old!"

Pack 219 had a fun B&G at the bowling alley in Lanse. They graduated thier first Arrow of Light recipient since the pack was reorganized two years ago.

Anniversary Party for Pack, Troop, and Crew 370

The whole Scout family, Cubs, Boy Scouts, and Ventures along with family and alumni celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Scouting at the Latter Day Saints Church in Harvey with a Blue and Gold Banquet and Pinewood Derby Race. The older Scouts produced a DVD in which Scout alumni in the church shared their memories of Scouting in their youth. Whitney and Martha Johnson were recognized as the Marquette Ward Scout parents of the century for their commitment to Scouting and for being the parents of 9 Eagle Scout sons.

Webelos WOW

Pack 209 in Ontonagon had a great Blue and Gold Banquet highlighted by the graduation of 5 Webelos Scouts. Each of the Scouts earned all 20 of the Webelos Activity badges. WOW! Each was presented an arrow decorated to symbolize his journey through Cub Scouts and mounted on a board they made himself as a project for craftsman!
