Jane is an active member of the leadership team, who regularly attends all meetings
and camps and assists in planning the program. She takes the time to talk with the
youth, to find out what they want, and tries to implement their ideas into the
program. In addition, Jane assists with the large group events, such as Apple Day,
Scoutrees, Halloween and Christmas parties and the Annual Banquet. Jane is a
definite team player, and has become a very respected member of her group.
My son is a Scout in the 1
st
Scout Lake Troop and he loves it. Susan runs such a great
program for the kids and really makes an effort to incorporate their ideas. She really
tries to make sure that every Scout feels like they are achieving goals and bettering
themselves. My son was very shy and introverted before Scouting, spending most of
his time playing video games. Susan’s energy and encouragement has really helped
boost his self-confidence and grow into a more responsible young man. I can’t thank
her enough and she deserves to be recognized for her dedication to the youth of the
Troop.
