Court of Honor June 2017

Court of Honor

June 10, 2017

Hi Troop 75 Ohana,

I hope you're all enjoying this 3 day Kamehameha Day weekend! We had our second Court Of Honor of 2017. It was a hot and humid evening! We had a smaller than usual turn out. But that's OK, we had a great time of fellowship and great food.  A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to all of our Scout's. We're so proud of all of your accomplishments!

It was a short evening. We introduced some of our new Scout's and their Parents. The Troop has grown by 11 new Scout's. With the possibility of two more joining. We acknowledged our newest Eagle Scout, Justin Basuil. And Eagle Palm Recipients, Devin Kiyohiro and Brant Yamamoto. Then enjoyed a fabulous pot luck dinner and ono desserts. We had a lot of awards to give out. But we zipped through program in 35 minutes.

For the first time we awarded the National Outdoor Award. There we're 12 recipients. This award is earned by a Scout who demonstrates exemplary knowledge and experience in performing high level outdoor activities. The award consists of up to six emblem segments positioned around the perimeter of a beautiful center emblem. The segments represent six areas of emphasis, Camping, Aquatics, Conservation, Hiking, Riding and Adventure, with vigorous requirements to earn each segment. Our Scout's earned the Camping, Hiking and Aquatics segments, 

To earn this award you must be First Class, earn certain Merit Badges and put in so many hours of other vigorous outdoor activities. It's a very honorable achievement. With a little more effort, you can earn Gold and Silver Devices(pins). We awarded 11 Gold Devices tonight. And there's the National Medal for Outdoor Achievement. It's the highest recognition a Boy Scout can earn for exemplary achievement, expertise and skill in multiple areas of outdoor endeavors.

It was a very enjoyable evening of recognition, fellowship and good food. A HUGE MAHALOS to Roxanne Sivalop and the Ladies of the Activities Committee. Thank You for another great Troop 75 event! MAHALOS to all the Adult Leaders and Volunteers for your time, dedication and support of the Troop! Mahalos to everyone for all the delicious food and desserts. I really appreciate it! I can't Thank You enough! And to our wonderful Scout's! Thank You for being such great Scout's! You make us so proud!

Enjoy your Sunday and Kamehameha Day! Drive safely! Have a wonderful week!

Aloha,

Mr. Al
