Last night we all earned some cool badges and awards at the Court of Honor. Among them were ranks ups, polar bear awards(Under 32 degrees fahrenheit), Merit badges, and even some Presidential Medals of Volunteering. These awards are great but even made Gold in JTE for 2016, so keep ranking up and rolling in the badges. Additionally, We were exited to watch a cub scout crossover into boy scouts (he was already a 448 scout, but missed his crossover). We loved watching the ceremony and hope to keep recruiting. Next week is a very special week, We will all be voting on OA  or Order of the Arrow members so come to vote for yourself and your friends.

The Last campout sounded like fun! I'm sad that I couldn't go. We all built fires and practiced our scout skills. I think that we should do more of these campouts. If you think so pleas show up to the PLC meetings to decide on upcoming events. The meetings are open to every one not just council members.
