On Dec. 3, three Troop 65 adult volunteers were honored at the 2015 White Horse District Recognition Dinner.
Eight members from the committee and Scout master staff attended to support the volunteers who received awards at the dinner.

Former Troop 65 Scoutmaster Tim Sheehan was one of two recipients of the District Award of Merit.

His wife Sue and son, Eagle Scout Riley, enjoyed the moment. Daughter Molly is a Girl Scout Silver Award winner.
Lisa Quanci received the Unit Most Valuable Volunteer award for her tireless efforts to organize Troop outings such as urban hikes, bike and ski trips and her guidance to Scouts in the Religious Emblem program. In addition, Quanci opens up her kitchen as the counselor for the cooking merit badge, organized t-shirt design contests, and actively encouraged Scouts to participate in the recent Carry the Fallen fundraiser for Veterans.
