SHANE JORDI NEW BOY SCOin-LEADER
It was announced this week that Shane Jordi will replace Gary DeDina as Huntley Boy Scoutmaster. Shane is an Eagle ScQut and active in Jaycees and their Pee Wee Football and also helps the Huntley High School Football teams. He has distin¬ guished himself maay times in his work with young peo|>ic.
Gary OeDina unCoftanatelv left the troop because of a change in employment and hours. He brought a new kind od leadership to the troop with his understanding of these young men. The scouts flourish¬ ed under his charge. While they didn't get as many badges as they have before (this was mi^nly due to foul ups at a Boy Scout Camp) the troop still managed an Eagle Scout, sever¬ al Order of the Arrows and I st place at Galena. That's a record to be proud of.
All the Huntley Scouts and their parents wish Gary well and are looking forward to working with Shane.
