At our District Ice Cream Social on June 10th, the Silver Comet District recognized individuals who go above and beyond to help deliver the promise of Scouting to the youth in their Pack, Troop, or Crew.

These individuals, who were nominated by their unit, received a certificate of appreciation and a Silver Comet Conductor's Award pin to mark their service. On behalf of the Silver Comet District Committee, our Commissioner Corps, your fellow Scouters, and especially our Scouts, congratulations and thank you to our 2020 Conductors!

A hearty number of Scouters came out last Thursday for our District Ice Cream Social! It was a very busy evening - we celebrated the families and Cubs who participated in our first ever Virtual Pinewood Derby, we gave out Journey to Excellence Awards, Silver Comet Conductor Awards, and three prestigious District Awards of Merit!

The District would like to thank Huddle House for its generous donation of all the ice cream and toppings, and Sharla Stewart and Jayme Smith for all their hard work in prepping all the toppings! Thank you to Clint Pope who coordinated the Conductor Awards. The District would also like to thank our hard-working Field Director, George Snipes, and District Executives, Claude Gatlin and David Hood, who prepared all the JTE ribbons and the District Award of Merit plaques, certificates, and knots.

Our 2020 District Award of Merit recipients are Tracye Kamperman, Sharla Stewart, and Lindsey Nolan. Be sure to congratulate these hard working volunteers the next time you see them, they have all gone above and beyond in their service to the Scouts and Scouters of Silver Comet!
