Clear Water District

I would like to thank everyone who attended our annual District dinner last month. Each year our District has the opportunity to recognize three individuals with the highest award a volunteer can receive at the District level: the District Award of Merit. This year’s recipients were: Don Blink, Paul Glittenberg, and Randi Bulinski. Each year we also recognize someone with the Pioneer Award for “leading the way.” This year’s recipient was Mike Konzen.

Please join with me in thanking these volunteers for all of the time, energy, and resources they have shared with Scouting over the years.

The District Pinewood Derby was held on April 26th at Markquart Chevrolet. Click here for the results.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the individuals who have agreed to serve on the District Committee. Specifically I would like thank our New District Chair Mike Konzen and our four Vice Chairs: Paul Glittenberg- Boy Scouts, Gil Padilla – Cub Scouts, Bill Gabler Jr. – Finance, and Randy Bulinski – Venturing. I would also like to thank all of our new Chairs and Committee members! Our goal was to have 25 registered District Committee members and we made it! Congratulations!

Our spring Camporee will be held on May 17-18th at the Lion’s Park here in Eau Claire off from QQ. The theme for this year’s event will be based on the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge.

On May 31st 2008 all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, parents, and leaders are invited to attend the Eau Claire Cavaliers baseball game at Carson Park in Eau Claire. At 4pm the Cavilers will take on the Illinois Lombard Orioles. All boys and unit leaders in uniform will get free admission to the game.
