Troop Court of Honor - January 31, 2006

We held our first Court of Honor for 2006 on January 31. Justin Thomas (District Executive) gave a brief presentation on the Family Friends of Scouting campaign for 2006; I have extra pledge cards if you need one! I'd like to thank the hospitality committee (Jill Flamm, Judy Francis, Greta Gantt, and Theresa Forman) for all their hard work setting up the Fellowship Hall.

We handed out troop activity beads for SWC and Blood Mountain. We distributed the Quality Unit 2006 patches, which are worn on the right sleeve of the uniform. This is our 3rd year in a row completing the Quality Unit qualification, which is part of the District Honor Roll requirements. We also received the National Camping Award (Bronze) ribbon and the Quality Unit ribbon for the troop flag.

We distributed certificates recognizing troop volunteers who assisted with the Katrina relief effort: Eric Flamm, Lisa Graessle, Ian Graessle, Brennen Graessle, Pete Corbett, and Ted Scherck and Ted's firm, The Colography Group. We handed out a few Service Stars, recognizing years of service to Scouting and recognized 3 scouts who earned Merit Badges since our last Court of Honor. Finally, we recognized the scouts who advanced in rank:

Ian Graessle

Tenderfoot

Brennen Graessle

Sam Gantt

and we recognized our 3 new Eagle Scouts: Miles Gantt, Max Francis, and Brian Flamm.
