Brothers,

This has been a difficult week for Scouts and families in the Currahee District.

On August 27th, Heidi Groce passed away. Her son, Crawford, is a member of our Lodge. He completed his Ordeal in March at Spring Induction and attended Pre-Camp, where he worked with our dining hall staff. Heidi was very active within our District and Council, serving as the event coordinator for many Cub Scout camps.
