A message from Doug:

IMG_1538

I inadvertently left a very important recognition out of last night’s Court of Honor.  Since January, Dustin Rice has been holding a new position in Troop 182 – Junior Assistant Scoutmaster.  He has proven to be perfect for this position and a truly valuable asset.  He is a knowledgeable patient leader and an exemplary scout.  Thank you Dustin for all you do – and I’m terribly sorry not to have said this yesterday.
