Explorer Post and Troop 232 rec-
ognized the achievements of 30
young men and women at Camp
Acahela in a special Court of Honor.
The Post and Troop have completed
their program of summer activities
which included twelve days of
camping and three day hikes with
four scouts attending the national
Jamboree in Virginia.
Their challenges began in June
with a 58 mile white water canoe
trip on the upper Delaware river for
14 of the older scouts. Then the
newer scouts were trained in hiking,
cooking, and swimming during
three day hikes, one in each of the
summer months.
Twenty-one attended camp and
studied astronomy, geology, wild-
life, first aid, canoeing, swimming,
and camping skills. The new scouts
focused on the basics of first aid,
cooking, camping and environmen-
tal study. The intermediate level
scouts worked on more advanced
first aid, swimming, wilderness sur-
vival and other personal speciali-
ties. The older scouts, over 14,
focused on survival, rock climbing,
repelling, pioneering, lifesaving and
other advanced nature studies.
The Scouts and Explorers were
recognized for their achievements
up to the time of summer camp.
Special recognition was given to
Scout Jim Gialanella and has par-
ents, for their courage and good
humor. They attended the Court of
Honor at Camp. The scout troop
was congratulated on its actions
after Jim’s accident. The Explorers
and Scout Leader who helped Jim
after his accident, Alan Landis,
Nathan Kelley, James Strange, lee
D. Williames and Dr. Lee Wil-
liames, were also recognized for
their courage and well trained reac-
tion to the emergency.
Troop 232 was recognized as an
Honor Unit for 1985, a distinction
which the Troop has earned 5 years
in a row. Also presented were the
first place and third place overall
ribbons for the 75th Anniversary
Camporal which the troop won.
Individual awards were presented
by James Strange, Assistant Senior
Patrol Leader, Nathan Kelley,
Senior Patrol Leader, and Explorer
Post President, Lee D. Williames.
Troop 281, who attended camp with
the Troop because of the Jamboree,
was recognized for earning the Rus-
sian Othodox Alpha Omega Award.
Ethical training is a key piece in the
scouting program, thus the religious
awards are accorded a special sig-
nificance in a scout’s development.
Nathan Kelley received the Safety
Merit Badge. John Mitchell
received the cooking and communi-
cations skill awards. Robert Row-
lands earned the camping merit
badge. Jarrett Rittenhouse was
awarded the cooking skill award,
swimming skill award, and family
living skill award. Mike Dzanko
earned the hiking merit badge. Jim
Fry was awarded the hiking merit
badge. Shane Williams earned the
Scholarship Merit Badge and Com-
munications, Community Living,
Cooking, Camping, Physical Fitness
and Family Living Skills Awards.
Lee D. Williames received a Bronze
Palm for his Eagle Scout Rank.
Andrew Yencha was promoted to
Assistant Scoutmaster. James
Strange and Robert Skursky were
awarded scoutings rank Life Scout.
Special note was made of the troop
effort at the St. Vincent De Paul
Soup Kitchen and to the efforts of

tenhouse in collecting food for the
needy. The Court of Honor closed
with a renewal of the Scout Oath.

The OK Heart Project, a project dedicated to fighting heart
disease, has come to Luzerne County. One out of four
Americans suffers from heart disease and the proportion is
even higher in Luzerne County. Approximately 100,000
citizens have taken the test and have been put into a low,
medium or high risk category. From these people, a smaller
control group was established. B'Nai Brith Women recently
aided in this project by contacting control group participants
and setting up appointments for them. The committee was
coordinated by Jody Berg. Pictured here are some of the
women who assisted. Ms. Berg is shown in the foreground
