Greetings Devon 50,

I wanted to take a moment and thank the many volunteers who have helped with Scoutmaster Conferences and Boards of Review. Your involvement has been critical to the success of our Scouts who have collectively earned ninety-three rank advancements over the past year. This is truly an astounding achievement. I especially want to thank Liping Wang for her hard work and extraordinary effort in organizing and coordinating the many Boards over this past year.

This year marks the 95th Anniversary for Troop Devon 50. Our longevity is due to the ongoing and enthusiastic support from our scouting families. On June 17th, the Trustees of Devon 50 will be holding their annual fundraiser to support and protect Camp Jarvis. The fundraiser is at La Cabra Brewing, from 6-9PM; tickets are $75 per person. Ticket covers two drinks and heavy hors d'oeuvres. The Trustees are seeking sponsorships to support the fundraiser. Sponsorships are available at the Eagle ($3,000), Life ($1,500) and Star ($750) levels. https://www.jotform.com/form/221107445593050. Click here for Tickets for the event and sponsorship details.
