Coastal District Awards 2011


Coastal District held their annual awards banquet 20 January, 2012, for outstanding work that volunteers performed in 2011 for Scouting. Brother Daniel Haddock recieved the unit Spark Plug Award where he was instrumental in providing the "Spark" that helped make Troop 699 Scout program what it is today. His efforts enabled twelve Scouts from Troop 699 to attend Summer Camp for the third year in a row at El Rancho Cima, he started our flag fundraiser three years ago, and took a personal interest in each Scout which enabled the less active boys in our Troop attend summer camp and monthly campouts. He camped 8 nights providing exceptional leadership and guidance to our youth. We will miss you Brother and Sister Haddock! We wish you all the best in Missouri.
