You may continue with us, where you left off previously.) Please contact Ad Altare Dei counselor, Sharon Mack, to sign up.

The Troop Committee endorsed the nomination of Mr. Timmins to be this year’s recipient of the Silver Acorn. This award is the highest award a unit can present to one of its members. Mr. Timmins is being recognized for his example to the Scouts. He’s always ready to help out. For the last two years, he has been the adult Quartermaster and has improved our gear and equipment inventory. He regularly hauls the trailer on camp trips. He taught the popular Carpentry Historic Merit Badge in 2010 and significantly supported the Eagle Project of Gerry S as they made and delivered twelve trundle beds to a new women’s shelter. Mr. Timmins will receive the award at the North Star District Dinner on January 28. You can register for the dinner at the North Star District’s web page.Thanks and congratulations, Mr. Timmins, for all you do for our Scouts!
