Congrats

After over a year of sacrificing Saturdays to test prep and study, Danny M., Troop 106, took five different scholarship and placement exams.  His results?  Brooklyn Tech offered him a seat, St. John’s Prep awarded him a Partial Scholarship and Honors Placement.  He won First Place in both the NYPD Holy Name Society and Emerald Society Competitions, and Cathedral Prep Seminary High School awarded him a Half Scholarship.  If you’re a Seventh Grader: STUDY and TAKE THOSE TESTS (You gotta be in it … to win it!)  He thanks God, his teachers, his Mom and everyone else who helped.  Great job, Danny!

If your son has achieved something great, please let us know as we would love to recognize him.

Philmont Opportunity for 1 Scout

I got this email earlier today and wanted to share. If anyone is interested let me know immediately.

Mike,

Good Morning or what is left of it!!

This is John Herrick, Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 96 in Forest Hills. I am on the Greater New York City Councils Philmont Contingent for this summer led by Bob Deaver with Troop 1 in Manhattan. The reason I am writing is because we have one opening for a scout on our contingent and was wondering if any of your scouts would be interested. I am waiting to hear back from one scout in our troop however if he is not interested I was wanting to pass that opportunity on to scouts in your troop. The total cost is $1850 and the dates would be for leaving July 30th and returning August 12th. He would need to be First Class, age 13 or older and finished with 8th grade by the time of Philmont.

Let me know as soon as you know.

YIS,

John Herrick
