Duck River District Leader Appreciation and Eagle Recognition Banquet
The Duck River District Leader Appreciation and Eagle Recognition Banquet was held on January 25th at Vest Hall on the campus of Columbia Academy, and was enjoyed by the 135 Scouters in attendance. We recognized our fifteen Eagle Scouts from the class of 2012 with a special certificate from the Tennessee State Legislature. Also honored were units achieving the Journey to Excellence Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Long Rifle Award - our district’s highest honor bestowed upon adult leaders who have made a significant impact in the Duck River District. Congratulations to our 2012 Long Rifle recipients Tommy Helton, Scoutmaster for Troop 173 in Lewisburg, and Elizabeth Crutcher, outgoing cubmaster for Pack 369 and our district popcorn chair for the past three years.

Day Camp and Resident Camps are Almost Here!
Our Duck River District Day Camp and Middle Tennessee Council resident camps for Cub Scouts, webelos, and Boy Scouts are great values for parents and offer great fun for youth during the summer months. Also, boys can really get ahead on earning advancements during the summer camp programs! All leaders should be encouraging every parent to send their boys to Scout camp this summer.
