Many boys got there starting in the Scouting Program under Mr. Tommy. Many of these went on to make Eagle Scouts. In 1994 Mr. Tommy earned the District Merit Award; one of the highest honors a Cubmaster can earn. He also earned the Cubmaster award in 1996, Cub Scouts Award and Order of the Arrow in 1997.
