Media Coverage/Recognition of Troop 1347

• I had the honor to represent the troop at tonight's 10th Annual Patriot District Recognition Dinner, along with Keith Goode and his wife Katherine.

  Keith was recognized with the Patriot Spirit Award, which is presented each year to honor those Scouters who have distinguished themselves with singularly outstanding service at the unit level.  Sam Baker was also awarded a PSA for his work in establishing the Venture crew.

  The troop was also recognized with a Centennial Quality Unit Award, which recognizes those outstanding Scout units that conduct a quality program as defined by the BSA.  The award has established criteria for trained leaders, membership, advancement, service and program objectives, and is earned annually.

  Burke United Methodist Church, our chartering organization, was commended as one of only 12 in the District that sponsors a unit at each Scouting level- a Pack, a Troop, and a Venturing Crew.

  Congratulations to Keith and Sam, and to all of you for contributing to our Unit Quality Award. 

  Ben Hagar

  Troop Committee Chairman
