We opened up our Cataloochee Construction zone going with the theme of building an adventure for scouting in 2016 and the foundation that we set in 2015.  Throughout the night we had several awards given out to various unit leaders for their outstanding service throughout the year of 2015.  Among those included the following:

Thank you to all of those who participated in our district banquet, as well as all of those who we were able to recognize or not.  It truly is the spirit of scouting in the Cataloochee district that makes us what we are and we could not have it without you!
