March ’20 COH
We had a great turn out at our Troop Court of Honor, which was good because the scouts have been working really hard on new Merit Badges and Rank Advancement over the last few months. Even though it has only bee three months since our last Court of Honor in December, scouts completed and were awarded 15 Rank Advancements and 13 Merit Badges! Great job guys, that’s a huge achievement. There were also a few other items awarded. Daphne Huey received her “Good Egg” awarded by the Troop & Rudi Shumpert received his “Good Egg” awarded by the District. Troop 2319 as a whole also was awarded Gold Journey to Excellence 2019, Foothills District Honor Roll “Chicken Pin”, and our Scoutmaster Col. Tom Welch was presented the OA Unit of Excellence Certificate as Troop 2319 was one of only three units in the entire Atlanta Area Council to receive the OA Unit of Excellence in 2019! Congratulations to everyone and keep up the great work!

Automotive Maintenance MB at Porsche
Porsche offered the Automotive Maintenance MB again and it looks like it was an amazing time! There’s no other place where scouts are going to get the chance to actually see and work on all the inner components of Porsche. How cool!

Troop 2319 Earns the OA Unit of Excellence for 2019!
On behalf of Egwa Tawa Dee Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, I want to congratulate Troop 2319 on having earned the Order of the Arrow Unit of Excellence Award for 2019. This is a unique and distinctive honor as less than 1% of all the troops, crews and ships in the BSA earn this award each year. Within our Lodge the award has only been presented six times since 2012. Only two other units earned the award for 2019.
Thank you to all the OA Youth and Adults who helped make this possible by attending OA Functions, planning troop events so they don’t overlap with the Lodge schedule, and overall just proving that Troop 2319 doesn’t just claim to support the Order of the Arrow, it actually stands behind it! Receiving the OA Unit of Excellence is a great honor from the National Honor Society of Scouting. For more information about the OA Unit of Excellence, you can check out OA-BSA.org. Again thank you to everyone who helped Troop 2319 be the only troop in the district to earn this award and one of three in the council to received it for 2019. Congratulations!!
