From the District awards banquet. Thank you Traverse City Elks Lodge #323!

Last night, Traverse City Elks Lodge #323 was proud to host the Boy Scouts of America Awards Night, recognizing the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our local Scouts.

Exalted Ruler Mark Walter was honored to present certificates to these outstanding young men and women as they were recognized for their accomplishments. Their commitment to leadership, service, citizenship, and personal growth reflects the values that both Scouting and Elkdom hold dear.

Congratulations to all of the award recipients! Your efforts today are helping build the leaders of tomorrow, and we are proud to celebrate your success.
