Our dedicated Scoutmaster Peter Anderson received the Baden-Powell award (Scoutmaster of the Year for Lucky Baldwin District) for 2010 at the recent District awards dinner.  Congratulation from all of us at Troop 147!

And special thanks to the scouts of Troop 147 who volunteered and helped to make the evening special for Mr. Anderson. As our Senior District Executive Jack Pan wrote afterwards, “Thanks to the Troop 147 Scouts for the color guard, and their cheerful service at ANY help needed (serving stew and cake) during dinner. Truly wonderful Scouts who exemplify the helpful qualities we admire in young men. Good job, adult leaders of Troop 147.”

To all of the great Webelos and families we met tonight at the Lucky Baldwin Round Table, hello! Please look around our Web site to learn more about us and our activities as you make your decision on which troop is right for you.

You’re invited to join us on our next outing, which will be held Nov. 6-8, 2009. Please contact Scoutmaster Peter Anderson, (626) 357-4415, for all the details.

A reminder: elections are Tues., Sept. 29, 2009.  If you are interested in either of the Senior Patrol Leader or Assistant Senior Patrol Leader positions, you need to declare your interest to Mr. Anderson before 6 p.m. the night of the elections.  We’ll also be planning for the weekend’s rock climbing camp out.
