Have a fantastic Summer!

congratulations to Rachel Flake and Alyssa Heimermann, who were each
awarded a $500.00 college scholarship. These two girls have stood out in
leadership, school and service to the community. Rachel, who is from
Belleville, will be attending Missouri State University this fall. Alyssa,
who is also from Belleville, will be attending Southern Illinois
University at Edwardsville in the fall. Let’s all wish them good luck for
the future!
and
the Camp Tour Patch program. Summer Fun patches are new every year, so you
can make it a troop tradition like many of our troops have. The Camp Tour
patch program is in full swing – we have a couple of troops nearing
completion of the tour! Watch for their troop numbers and towns this fall
in the Notes to Leaders!
