North Star District Kudos & Thank You's
Cub Scout Day Camp Recognition
North Star District owes a number of volunteers a big thank-you for their fine work putting on two successful Cub Scout Day Camps this year. The District hugely increased the number of boys who participated and they all had a great time.
Special recognition goes to Rhonda Stengel, who was the Camp Director for both Day Camps, Katie Chida for her fine work in Watertown as Co-Director, and Janet Binfet for her fine work in Aberdeen as Co-Director. These three great people did a super job! And the best news is that they will all be back next summer with an even bigger and better Day Camp!
