2016 Scouter of the Year

Each year Wagon Wheel District awards a Scouter of the Year award.

She has been an active Committee member from when her son transferred into the Troop. In the fall of 2010, when the treasurer left during the middle of the committee meeting and stated he was no longer going to be treasurer, she stepped right up to the job.
She has always been there with whatever the Scoutmaster or Committee Chair needs. She is always doing more above and beyond the duties of treasurer. Assisting with camp registrations; shopping for family campouts, troop annual wimp-in, pancake feed, etc.
Mrs. Harrison has also gone to Camp Cedars helping to ensure the adult ratio is maintained at the campsite so the other adults can attend the OA night events. Mrs. Harrison is more than a Committee member; she is a registered Scouter who will do anything needed to ensure a safe, fun program for the Scouts.

Congratulations to Mrs. Harrison for being awarded Wagon Wheel District Scoutmaster of the Year.
