(Just a Dad) Scouts and parents: Please do two things: 1. tell Mr Hirs something you're grateful for that he did for you or the Troop in his 3 years as Scoutmaster. Do it personally or write him a note. 2. Think about helping the Troop yourself in a more active way this year. The Troop machine has many moving parts. We need you to be one.
