Congratulations to the BattleSnake Patrol for "TOP SPOON" honors for Troop 500 during the March 2012 Painted Rock weekend at Indian Hills. The chefs served the judges a tasty sampling of their evening quesadillas meal. It is the second consecutive honor for the patrol. Their first honor was at bestowed at Rocket Camp in December 2011 where the Scout chefs served a killer bean and cheese burrito. An honorable mention was given to the SNIPES patrol for their total patrol involvement. The judges for Painted Rock where SM Shinohara, ASM Briest and Senior Patrol and Trek Lead Daniel Wheeler.

I would like to announce and congratulate Aaron Bagnell for becoming the most recent Eagle Scout recorded by the San Diego Imperial Council on April 11, 2012.  I would also like to recognize ASM Richard Bagnell and family for their strong work and tireless effort. Aaron is a senior at Point Loma High and plans to attend a  4year university next year majoring in physics. Congratulations to Aaron for a job well done!
