Congratulations, Justin!

I did the math- through the end of 2010 that means an average of just 2.6744186 per year for 84 year!

Congratulation, Justin. Being a law officer it makes me feel good that there are young men like you in your communities willing to help others. Keep up with the scouting program and set your goals high and complete them. By all means look after your community like just have helped that person who was in a wreck. We are pround of you and BSA is proud also.
