CAMP EMERALD BAY PICTURES !!!!

Well, I got a call from Ken today and he said the boat ride over got a bit choppy and about 20 minutes into it most everyone got sick and were throwing up overboard! Yikes!  He said that as soon as the boat got calm though, the scouts' stomachs calmed, the chattering began to increase and by the time they got to shore they were as happy as ever.  So, they've arrived safely and are beginning an exciting week on Catalina Island.

Ken plans to forward pics to me so I can post them here this week.  Check back daily for updates!

Jonathan David Kilmer was awarded  the honor of Eagle Rank at his Eagle Court of Honor on Sunday, May 31st, 2009.  Although we are all proud of this great achievement in his life, we will miss his presence in the coming years.  He will continue with our troop in the position of Assistant Scoutmaster as he heads to Camp Emerald Bay with the troop this summer!  Thank you, Jonathan.
