 In addition to the many Scouts recognized for their good citizenship last night, Troop 55′s Janyce Keyes was one of two adult Scouters who were honored to receive the 2012 District Award of Merit from Lenni Lenape District.  This is a council award presented by districts to volunteer Scouters who have rendered noteworthy service to youth in Scouting, outside Scouting, or both.

Mrs. Keyes began her volunteer Scouting service in 1993, before most of our sons were born. In her 19th year as a Scouting volunteer, she is our district’s Friends of Scouting organizer, while simultaneously organizing our 50th anniversary celebration, and doing the phenomenal job we have come to know and appreciate.  Add to this her heavy commitments to her church, and you will see why she has received this long overdue honor.

Congratulations, Mrs. Keyes!

Even if you are still using the old Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, you should still refer to the Chester County Council Eagle Scout Handbook which is available at http://www.eaglescout.itgo.com/Handbook.doc.  In addition to links to information about project planning with the new Workbook, it has checklists and information about the application and paperwork process.  Applications have been coming in to the Council office without all the needed information, particularly the requirement #6 Ambitions and Life Purpose statement and the Yearbook Information Form.
