Nashboro District Banquet
The Nashboro District celebrated its volunteers for their commitment, service, and leadership within the district. Many volunteers take on multiple roles to ensure the success of their unit, district, and council. Retired professional from the Middle TN Council, Irvin Parish, served as the keynote speaker. His speech touched each volunteer because it was genuine, personable, and heart felt. At the end of the speech, Irvin caught the audience off guard by asking everyone to stand and sing “Singing in the Rain”.

Many units were honored with their Journey to Excellence ribbons. Peg Hite with Pack 169 received the Flint Lock Award and Henderson Kelly received the Long Rifle Award. The district would like to thank Jeffrey Chatman for planning the banquet. The District Key 3 was awarded the Bronze Award.

Farwell Mr. Henderson Kelly
Mr. Henderson Kelly was honored at the Metro Parks Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet for over 35 years of service. Mr. Kelly served as the keynote speaker for the banquet. He stated that at first he wasn’t that fond of Scouting because he didn’t truly understand the program. After he attended one camporee, he absolutely fell in love with Scouting and the values it added to a boy’s life. Mr. Kelly is retiring this spring as the Superintendent of Parks. Under his leadership the Scouting program grew from 35 youth to over 300 youth. There are so many youth that wouldn’t been exposed to Scouting if it were not for Metro Parks. Thank you, Mr. Kelly, for your service and leaving the campsite better than you found it.
