TROOP370
Boy led. Man made.
Wednesday, August 19, was our yearly Court of Honor where we recognize everyone’s advancement. The night started off with a fantastic barbeque dinner. The pulled pork sandwiches were delicious. Everyone brought a side or buns, so we had some good eats. After the dinner, Mrs. Johnson announced that she is the Popcorn Colonel, and some very good prizes will be given away. Mr. Ball asked parents to sign up for the merit badges offered to the boys. After the announcements, we opened the ceremony with a flag ceremony. I then gave my State of the Troop address, followed by Mr. Evan’s address. We discussed the past year, including leadership, religious emblems and more. I also went over the amazing calendar we have this year. We moved on to recognizing different forms of advancement, such as participants in Troop Leader Training, and the National Youth Leadership Training (the best program Scouting has to offer concerning leadership!). We also recognized the boys that earned the National Camping award, having over 100 nights of camping in their career. We acknowledged the boys and girls, who completed the Triple Crown award. The Chairman’s award this year went to Fontaine Kohler, for all of the countless hours she has put into Troop 370. The Folsom Award for Excellence in Camping and Cooking went to Reid Ulicny. The William Waddey Award for Outstanding Community Service went to Andrew Quigley. Then, we recognized everyone’s advancement in the past year. I am astounded by the amount of progress the boys make every year, a sign that we are one of the best troops in the nation. This year’s banquet summed up how excellent our troop is. As for my role as Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) for the past six months, the biggest lesson I learned was that you can not have too many friends supporting you. Everyone with a leadership position helped me during my term. Without them, I could not have done my job.
David Boyd is the immediate past SPL. Andrew Parrish is the newly elected SPL.

Next summer the Boy Scouts of America will be celebrating their 100th anniversary. Founded on February 8, 1909 by William D. Boyce, the American version of Scouting has grown to be the largest in the world. Scouts from across the U.S. will gather at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia in July to celebrate during the 2010 National Jamboree. Troop 370 currently has 18 scouts signed up to attend – the most of any troop in the Atlanta Area Council. There are still a few spaces left if you want in on this once in a lifetime event but you’ll have to move fast. Not going to the Jamboree? No problem. You’ll still get to celebrate U.S. Scouting’s 100th anniversary at Scout Weekend at St. James in February and at the Centennial Encampment at Bert Adams in May. The next year is going to be a great year to be involved in Scouting in America and at Troop 370.

SOMETHING ABOUT HARRY(AND LESLEE)
Harry and Leslee Evans were presented a Norman Rockwell print from the February 1938 Boys Life cover- America Builds for Tomorrow. Leslee has served Scouting at St. James for many years as Girl Scout leader, Cub den leader, Pack committee chair, Cubmaster, and several high adventure trips with the troop and Venturing Crews. Not to mention being a very supportive Scoutmasters wife. Harry was past troop committee chair and Scoutmaster for the last ten years. They have both been a part of the lives of these boys with a great example of mentoring, leadership and vision.
One long time adult leader in the troop said, "I believe may of us continue to work with this troop not only because we believe in the Scouting mission, but also because Harry sets a good example for each of us and inspires all of our Scouts and adults to do our best every day. Harry is the face and personality of our troop."
