Congratulations to my wonderful husband, the respected Boy Scout Leader!
Last night Jeff and I attended the Boys Scouts of America Dan Patch District Awards Dinner. Jeff was awarded the 2010"Troop Jockey Award" for his troop 619 (trivia here: it is a jockey award because Dan Patch was a racehorse).
His award reads: "In recognition of your time and talents freely given to youth in the Dan Patch District"
The 619 Executive Council awarded Jeff the award for the following reasons:
"Jeff mentors the scouts that are Star and Life. Those that want to advance, he guides them with their plans, suggesting ways they can achieve their goals. For those scouts that are there for adventure, Jeff is there to help them plan their treks and campouts. In the past year, a SCUBA trek to SeaBase (FL) was floundering. Jeff stepped in because of his diligence the trek to SeaBase went on without a hitch. The scouts had a great time. He is now in the process of helping the scouts organize a 2012 SCUBA trek. All the effort and work that Jeff puts into volunteering has brought enrichment and enjoyment for the scouts in our troop.'
Pretty nice compliment, eh? Not that we had any doubt about how wonderful Jeff is.
Below are some photos of our dinner.
The dinner was at the new BSA Base Camp at Fort Snelling. We were a little early so we walked over to take a look at the river.
