We are excited to have them be a part of this great program and start earning their way to the rank of Eagle Scout. In addition, we have had two more Troops register; Troop 11 (Tillikum), chartered by North Creek Presbyterian Church of Mill Creek and Troop 4056 (Skagit), chartered by Fir-Conway Lutheran Church; plus we are anticipating another 6 Troops chartering as summer arrives. A special thanks to our newest Scouts, leaders, chartered organizations and District Executives for helping youth and our Council be a part of this remarkable time.
