"The goodness of a person and of the society he or she lives in often comes down to very simple things and words found in the Scout Law. Every society depends on trust and loyalty, on courtesy and kindness, on bravery and reverence. These are the values of Scouting, and these are the values of Americans."

 

Pres. George W. Bush

Bottles April 13-19: Zack and Cody

Hope everyone had fun at the week of special events. I think it was a good time for all who attended. Back to reality this week with school.

Meeting at the pavilion this week through the rest of the year. Come ready to prepare for the chicken bbq, and hopefully start working on the pioneering project.

Be sure you are actively selling Chicken BBQ tickets. If you need more, see Todd. This is the biggest fundraiser we do for individual accounts.

Concrete plans will be made for the high adventure sailing trip in 2013, and you will be given a notice as to when that has been done.

In Memory of Raif Pomeroy

 

Raif Pomeroy

March 27, 1966 - July 22, 2007

 

Several members of Troop 55 were lucky enough to sail with Captain Raif Pomeroy last January during their trip to the Florida Seabase.  We were deeply saddened to learn of his recent death in a Scuba diving accident in the Bahamas. 

 

Raif was a passionate diver and a wonderful singer.  He did a great job teaching our scouts about the wonders of the sea and was kind enough to share some of his music with them.

 

Thank you, God, for giving us the opportunity to sail with Raif and hear his fantastic voice in the Bahamas. He will be missed greatly.
