Scholarships, Eagle Scout, and Track

Kayla was offered a RENEWABLE scholarship to Idaho State University this fall!!! We are working on setting up her housing and scheduling her for classes; she starts on August 25.

Brandon officially had his Eagle Scout Board of Review on March 24 (the same day Erin had her SURPRISE baby (6th boy, instead of the girl the doc had predicted)! We are waiting to get our letter back from Nationals and will then hold his Court of Honor!

Sarah is in track for the first time this Spring. I think she will be throwing the discus. She can't make her first meet today, but will have one next week. So far, she is enjoying it!

Popcorn, Popcorn, Popcorn!!!

Brandon is in the process of selling popcorn to raise money for his National Boyscout Jamboree trip next summer. We would appreciate anyone who would be interested in purchasing some from him. REMEMBER: It's for a good cause! :) Log onto www.orderpopcorn.com and use the order key TEWHPT9 (Troop 472). Brandon will receive 40% of his sales and if he can sell $500 worth, he will receive 6% toward a college scholarship or his mission fund. We would appreciate any support we can get and hope to be sending individual emails to everyone with the link as well. Thanks everyone!

Another Youth Gone

Well we have lost another young boy in our neighborhood...this one was not such a shock, but is still sad. Brayden Pittsenbarger, 15, died on April 1 last week of cystic fibrosis. He was in Brandon's teacher's quorum, same grade, and they were even on the same ballroom dance team up until he had to quit dancing (due to his health) a couple of years ago. Braydon was a wonderful guy who lived life to it's fullest. He was always smiling and never let his disease stop him from trying anything. He always had a good attitude and endured much in his short life. He will be missed by many. Thanks Barbara and Dave for having such a wonderful son!
