Congratulations to Erin B., Troop 193's newest Eagle Scout.  His Court of Honor was held today to celebrate this great achievement.  Erin’s service project was creating 5 Activity Boards used for dementia patients at Friendship Village in Schaumburg, for aiding and helping retain their muscle memory.  These boards have 9 basic motor skill activities needed for patients with dementia.  Erin created this project in memory & honor of his grandmother.  Job well done!

Congratulations to Ryan F. on recently being elected Senior Patrol Leader (SPL)!   Senior Patrol Leader is the highest leadership position that a scout can attain, reporting to the Scoutmaster.   We look forward to Ryan leading the troop for at least the next 6 months.  Runner up Daniel G. is Assistant Senior Patrol Leader (ASPL) & Ryan selected Tyler W. as the troop's second ASPL.  We also extend our most sincere thanks to our outgoing SPL Tommy C. for the top notch job, along with the fine service & leadership that he brought to the troop during his past 8 month reign.
