Mr. Brent Snyder Bestowed with Vigil Honor Title
The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow (OA) can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting. Membership cannot be won by a person's conscious endeavors. The OA, sort of a fraternal organization within the B.S.A., is a brotherhood of honor campers and one of our own leaders received its highest recognition.
Mr. Brent Snyder was presented this honor at the Order of the Arrow Fall Fellowship weekend on October 4th. In front of approximately 100 Arrowmen, his wife Tammy and friends, he was presented his white and red Vigil Honor sash. As our troop's assistant Scoutmaster / OA troop advisor, he will continue to give back to the OA and Scouting. Congratulations to Mr. Snyder!

Greenery Sale & Popcorn Sale
Our greenery and popcorn sales are underway – please sell as much as you can! If you have questions about the greenery sale, please contact Mrs. Gina Eddleman. The contact for the popcorn sale is Mr. Ross Earl. For our top greenery and popcorn sellers, the Rice family has graciously donated a prize of 4 Grizzlies tickets for each top seller! Winners will have a choice of four dates for the tickets – Nov 27 or 29th, or January 8th or 10th. There are also cash prizes from the Troop for top sellers for greenery and prizes from the Council for popcorn sales, so get selling and go for it! All Scouts earn 60% of the profits in ScoutBucks, so the more you sell, the less you pay in campout fees next year.
