Hello Scouts of Troop 53,
Just a reminder that June 13th is our Court of Honor. All blue cards need to be turned in on Monday, June 6th in order to be presented with the merit badge at this Court. If not, you will have to wait until the Court of Honor in October.

Also, I have the Padre tickets for the August 22nd game against the Houston Astros. This is one of our Summer Activities. I have 40 tickets and they are available on a first come first served basis. The permission slips for all of the Summer Activities will be passed out at the June 13th Court of Honor. See you all Monday.

Scouts,
I want to thank each and every one of you that attended Mr. Estes Memorial Service last night. I was very impressed with how each of you deported yourself and very proud to have been with you on this opportunity to pay our respects to the great leader and sage of Troop 53. You imbued the Scout Spirit that makes me and your community so proud of you. Thanks for representing the Troop in such a fine fashion. Hank Levien

This is a web site that Ed Dominic put together of the photos from this year's Scout Fair. It has couple of pictures of our Troop. One is really good. I looking through the photos, I was wondering if we should have a Troop 53 "Stands Above the Rest" banner made.
