BSA WA Troop 151

Mike Wilton got married to his long time girlfriend (11 years) Krista on Sunday August 2nd. Mike also graduated from University of British Columbia on July 31st and will be teaching grade school next year. Mike will be back at Camp Parsons next year with the Troop. Mike wanted to send his congraulations to everyone for the outstanding job they did at camp this year. He was very proud of the canoe race team’s 2nd palce with 3 paddles. Also, to Conor for winning the adult penathlon and carrying on other Troop traditions. Congraulations to Mike and Krista Wilton.

Troop 320 from Pennsylvania wanted me to pass along their thanks to all the Scouts and Parents from troop 151. They had a great time.  They enjoyed the tour of Seattle on Saturday. They loved Camp Parsons and agreed it was the best Scout Camp they had attended. Their leadership group met with Brad Allen of the Chief Seattle Council and praised Troop 151 and their Scoutmaster (that would be me) for helping them with their trip palns and for showing them a great time. Brad Allen came to our campsite and thanked me and our Troop for hosting and showing Troop 320 a great week. Thanks to everyone for their help with this task.

The location of the June campout has changed. We were going to Jim Creek for the Cope course, due to the high cost and age limits we are not going to Jim Creek. We are going camping on Blake Island. Logan Gilbert’s grandfather has once again offered us the use of his boat for the trip to Blake island. We will meet at Bob’s house at 8:00. We will need driver to take us to the marina. More information will be given out at Monday meeting June 8th.
