The Golden Empire Council presented Mac Cameron and Joe Reynolds the coveted Silver Beaver Award on Saturday, February 21, 2009, at the annual Council Recognition Dinner, held at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center. The evening was highlighted by the presentation of the highest honor to be bestowed on a volunteer. Twenty-two scouters were presented the award, which represents scout leaders from the entire council, which covers an area from Redding to Galt and Auburn to Fairfield. Our own Chris Ishikawa was the chairperson for this council-wide event. Chris was grateful to the many Troop 380 scouts and scouters that helped make this a successful event. Troop 380 was represented by 30 scouters at the dinner.
Troop 380 has been very fortunate to have many of its scouters recognized with the Silver Beaver award. Mac and Joe join scouters Ken Allred, Floyd Brown, Don Dier, Jimmie Garcia, Sue Garcia, Chris Ishikawa, Doris Goldstein, Dave Ishikawa, Dick Jonas, Sharon Jonas, Peggy Merrill, Ralph Merrill, Becky Mesker, Joe Pearce, Johnie Pennington, Elizabeth Ruygt, and Mark Stretars as Troop 380’s Silver Beaver Recipients. This is a tribute to the quality of leadership these volunteers have provided Troop 380, the Rio Del Oro District, the Golden Empire Council, and the youth of our community. Congratulations to Mac and Joe on a well deserved recognition.
