Court of Honor

Brother Lindman and Sam O'Brien ran the Court of Honor.   All the boys received awards.  Robert received his Venturing award and his Varsity pins.

Tonight was a very special night for the scouts in our Branch.  Betsy is the Advancement Chairperson for our troop and crew.  She works hard to make sure Court of Honors are super exciting to keep the boys motivated to earn awards and advance.

Robert's Court of Honor - On My Honor Awarded

Tonight at 7:00 pm (despite massive amounts of homework) was the Crestwood 1st Ward's

Court of Honor 
for Troop 170

There were lots of awards - merit badges for all the accomplishments at scout camp over the summer, and a bunch of rank advancements.

Robert was presented with 6 merit badges - oceanography, athletics, mammal study, leatherworks, sculpting, and one more. 
As a Varsity scout he was presented his Basketball Varsity Pin.

 Lastly, he was presented his "On My Honor" award.  In order to earn this you have to have earned your Duty to God at either the Deacon, Teacher or Priest Level and achieved the rank of Star.  Robert actually earned this award a year and a half ago, but it was overlooked. 

Unfortunately, tonight Robert was supposed to be awarded a few more things that were overlooked, forgotten or whatever... one being a very BIG award.  Robert was supposed to also earn his Soccer Varsity Pin and his Cycling Varsity Pin (from last year), but the BIG award that was supposed to be presented to him tonight that was overlooked was his Varsity Denali.  The Varsity Denali is equivalent to the Eagle Scout but in the Varsity program.  I have to admit that I was very disappointed!!!  I had arranged for Jessica and Marissa to come to the court of honor just to see him receive this award.

Team 170 Court of Honor

Tonight at 7:00 pm Team 170 held their Fall Court of Honor.  It was well attended by the Troop, Team and Crew members and families.

We have been with this group since Robert turned 8 years old and started Cub Scouts!  It's a great group of boys and I'm so grateful for the positive influence everyone is on each other.

Robert was awarded with the cycling Merit Badge.  He also received the National Outdoors Award for "Riding" and soon will have the "Camping" award as well.

Robert was then awarded the Bronze and Gold Palm for earning 10 more merit badges after receiving the rank of Eagle.
