Announcements! for Troop 542
Helen Pukoszek Award Recipients
Posted on Saturday, February 4, 2012

Congratulations to this year's Helen Pukoszek Award recipients - Mrs. Kresich and Mr. Seydel.  Mrs. Kresich has done an incredible job helping our scouts earn their religious awards over the last couple of years.  Thanks to her constant encouragement and support, 14 scouts from our troop were able to earn the Ad Altare Dei award.  Mr. Seydel is a co-Den Leader for his son's Cub Scout den, but he also helps everyone else in the Pack.  Whenever there's a pack event, Mr. Seydel will be there lending a hand.  Both of our award recipients truly embody the tradition of leadership, self-sacrifice, and Christian values that were exemplefied by Mrs. Pukoszek during her time in scouting.  Please join us in congratulating these worthy award recipients!
