Permian Basin District 

The Permian Basin District Recognition Banquet was highly successful. In addition to around 40 people attending, great fun was had by all. A meal of venison and turkey was served by Linda and Melvin Conner, as well as Stephen and Freida Zuberbueler. A special thanks to the Conners and the Zuberbuelers as well as Troop 153 for an excellent banquet.

The District Banquet also saw our two recipients for the District Award of Merit so honored.

Jean Richardson of McCamey has been in Scouting for many years, including a previous District Award of Merit from the Conquistador Council out of New Mexico. Jean was also honored with the Silver Beaver Award for her many continuous years of service.

Linda Conner of Ozona serves as an Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 153, as well as assistant Camporee Chairman and Banquet Chairperson. She has seen her son Glen from Tiger Cub all the way to Eagle Scout, and has served selflessly every chance along the way. I would like to thank both of our honorees for everything they do, and I think we all owe them a debt of gratitude.
