Over 100 scouts, parents, brothers and sisters attended the 50th Troop 80 Christmas banquet at the Jack Bryant Scout Center on December 14, 2004.  This year's guest speaker was Brandon Wolfram (Eagle 1995), who challenged the scouts to be men of character and to be followers of Jesus. Brandon is currently the field director for Fellowship of Christian Athletes in El Paso, Texas.  Music was lead by James Savage (Eagle 1966) and Michael Walker (Eagle 1993).  The meal was catered by Catering by JT's, with the real work being done by Brandon Merrill (Eagle 1994).  Blaine Thompson (SPL 1999; Eagle 1999) was seen hanging around for a while before everything cranked up.  Jim Gwinn was presented the Duct Tape Award, an award created by John Banks many years ago.  The R.T. Abrahamson Outstanding Scout Award went to Colton Morris.  The Jack Bryant Leadership Award went to Tristun Fithen (Eagle 2004), who also served as Senior Patrol Leader for 2004.  The Skill Patrol for 2004 was the Blackfeet Patrol, B1, with Addison Stucky.  The Outstanding Patrol for 2004 was the Mohawk Patrol, B3, with Colton Morris as patrol leader.  The Duty, Honor, Courage Award went to the Seminole Patrol, A2, with Austin Fielding as patrol leader.  Holden Stucky received a special award for being a good scout.  Special guests included the Golden Spread Council Field Director Doug Cooper and the Golden Eagle District Executive Rhett Stevens.

• If you know of a scout who is doing something outside his regular Troop 80 activities, please let us know and we will run a story on him in the next newsletter.
