Eagle Mentor Award for Dan

 Dan was given the mentor award from Colby Heaton as he received his Eagle award tonight. Dan has assisted many scouts in their Eagle quest, but this is the first Mentor award that he has received. He has done a lot to help this group of boys become Eagle Scouts. Dan is a Life for Life; but has assisted at least 30 scouts over the years to become Eagles.

Colby and Kason Heaton become Eagle scouts.  Mike Aldred administers the Eagle scout oath.

Mike was given the other mentor award. 

Andrew's name is signed on this troop flag from 2006. It made me teary eyed to see that since

 he is on his mission and I miss him at events like this.

  Shelly Flake What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful Father, Dan Flake. I've been the recipient of many last bites of ice cream cone--and I know that sacrifice from my husband is an unselfish gift of LOVE! Happy Father's Day honey!
