Businessman Ross Perot Jr., the driving force behind Alliance Airport and the burgeoning Hillwood real estate development in North Fort Worth, was honored this week for his lifelong involvement with the Boy Scouts.
As we leave NOAC in Knoxville, we reflect on the interactions, new members, and achievements of all Eagle Scouts, combined with the great training on scholarships, building council committees with strong relations for the volunteers, as well as the leadership lessons earned from Frank Tsuru through the NESA 50 anniversary dinner. It truly was a great success for Arrowmen and Eagles alike.
While at NOAC here in Knoxville, Tennessee, the NESA booth has had thousands of participants come through to say hello, spin the patch give-a-way wheel, and take their photo at the NESA Eagle wall and we have loved having you come through.
As lodges filled into the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville for the NOAC Opening show, each of the lodge contingents presented their lodge flap on giant six-foot banners and the crowd roared to life. It was followed by a stunning presentation of the American flag throughout the stadium.
