eagle90 125 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 We all know a lot of these forum topics deal with problems, disappointments and negativity, so I want to relate the exact opposite Our Troop celebrated its 50th Anniversary last night with a banquet. We attempted to find as many former scouts and leaders as possible. We had over 160 people in attendance, from as far back as 1960! We had 4 former SM's, 20 of our 36 Eagle Scouts, and had people come from 3 different states. It was at a commercial banquet hall, so no one had to work and we could all just enjoy ourselves. It was great seeing people you haven't seen for 30+ years. Thank God for name tags! Those 14 year olds are now 40, and some how don't look the same! We scanned some 250 slides, and pictures, put them on CD, and had them playing all evening. We reminisced, laughed, shed a few tears, and had a great, great time! It's nights like this when we come to realize everything we do is really worth all the time and effort we put in. We plan on doing 50 more! Link to post Share on other sites

NWScouter 9 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Congratulations on your Troops 50th. May there be many more. Though it makes some of us fell real old when you say way back from 1960. Link to post Share on other sites
