      2009 Scout of the Year
    Each year we recognize the top three Scouts in our Troop for the Scout of the Year Award.

    This year we recognized and congratulate the Scouts of the Year Mark (Gold Emblem), David (Silver Emblem) and Joey (Bronze Emblem) for their dedication to scouting and living the scout oath and laws in their daily life. The Scouts earn points throughout the year for participation in various activities, and payment of dues.

    The points from each scout are tallied up for the year.

    A sub committee is formed to review the results with a focus on the top 5 scouts.

    In addition to points earned, CHARACTER is an important element that is considered in the final selections for Scout of the Year.

    •   January 19, 2010- Eagle Scout Erick Von Sas
    A message from our Scoutmaster.....

    I am proud to report that Troop 103 Life Scout Erick Von Sas was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout Tuesday night (1/19/2010).

    Erick's Eagle Project consisted of improving the walking path leading to the pavilion in the St. Joseph Church Picnic Grove. Improvements included replacing rotted landscape timbers, replacing walking stones with gravel, and planting shrubs.

    Please join me in congratulating Erick and in thanking his family, friends, leaders and others who helped make his accomplishment possible. Attached is a photo of our clearly relieved Eagle Scout with his clearly proud mom. (click here to see more photos)
