    And Just Recently 

    Assistant Scoutmaster: Phil Barnes  

    I would like to take a moment to commend Phil Barnes, Who through years of hard work in our troop, has just recently made Eagle Scout. Ever Since I first joined this troop, Phil was to me, not only one of those "big guys", but he was more. I always looked up to Phil, as a role Model, and I still do. If ever I needed a hand doing anything, or just someone to lean on, Phil was always there. To this day, I have still never heard Phil complain, moan or groan about anything. He would just do his share of work, and when that was done, he would come to help everyone else who needed help. Phil was a better scout than I can ever be. So on behalf of me, and the entire Troop, Phil Barnes, Thank You. And always remember Phil, that wherever you are, and wherever your life takes you, We will Never Forget You.
