Thank you!

Many thanks to the Parents and Leaders of Troop 1 who volunteered at our lock-in.  I am so proud to work side by side with such a fine group of dedicated and helpful people.  Your efforts benefitted 410 guests, for a grand total of 440 people including leaders, parents and scouts of Troop 1.  Thank you to Kathy Arndt for the great job that she did on the Swim tests for rank advancement, along with Michele Davis and the lifeguards in the pool. 40 scouts benefitted from the work they did.
Also we are very grateful for the donations and discounts that we received from local businesses, including Biggby Coffee, Jet's Pizza, BC Pizza, Dr. Pepper & Snapple Group, BJ's Restaurant & Catering, Jay's Sporting Goods, Gordon Foods, Family Fare, Diocese of Gaylord, Traverse City Scout Shop, Call of the Wild & Merchandise Outlet. I hope I didn't forget anyone. Last, but not least, a big thank you to Staff Sgt Aaron Bentley of the Air Force who visits our lock-in each year.  He brought a bag full of goodies to give away as prizes and when the scouts saw the neat stuff he brought they were very excited. Can't wait until next year!  It will be the 20th Anniversary of our little old lock-in. Hope to see you all there!
