Evan James Assumes Scoutmaster Duties Fred Zouck ended his service as Troop 71 Scoutmaster effective 01 January 2012 and handed over those duties to Evan James who has, until now, been an Assistant Scoutmaster (ASM). Mr. James brings tremendous leadership, experience, and energy to the SM position.“It has been an honor to have served as SM and I will continue to support the troop as an ASM. Please welcome Evan to his new position and give him your full support, the best way for adults to do this is to volunteer to take an active support role in the troop. As much as I will miss being SM in many ways, I am excited for the troop as I know Mr. James, as the SM, will enable great things to happen in our troop,” said Mr. Zouck Mr. Zouck was, officially, the Troop 71 SM for the three years ending on 01 January 2011. Unofficially, he was acting SM for all of 2008 because the SM at that time was not available due to his work schedule. Fred Zouck is not going far. He will remain with the troop as an ASM, assisting Mr. James, especially during the transition period. A short ceremony to mark the transfer will be held during the Feb. 5th Court of Honor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
