Troop 441 Emerald Bay 2018 is in the books. We made it. As I sit in the airport 24 hours after we docked at Kiva on the way to Montana to scope out another camp for Troop 441, I am fondly reflecting on our wonderful, nay, nirvana type week in camp. I'm not sure where to start...it's such a special place and we had, as we usually do, such a special group of young men. All different in their own ways: they all encompass the scouting spirit and all facets of the Scout Law. This is what particularly saw this week: TRUSTWORTHY: "Hammertime"   we put our trust in him to lead us this week and that he did capping it off with brilliant leadership on the battlefield: aka- Aquacade. LOYAL: "Smiles" - a silent but powerful warrior and ally and was always there for you. HELPFUL: "Manitas" aka, Sniper, steadfast, ready for anything, sharpshooter of the troop. Always helping other scouts with things and eager to learn more. FRIENDL
