TROOP 935 HONOR FUND
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the Honor Fund will be to financially support activities that expand existing Troop 935 programs or that assist with the development of new programs which are consistent with the mission of the Troop and the high ideals of Scouting.  The appropriate use of the funds may include acquisition of program equipment or materials, or the provision of specialized training of Scout Members.  It is intended that the Honor Fund will be used for purposes other than the Troop general operating expenses.

5.  Recommendations for the use of funds from this account may be submitted by Troop leaders, scouts or family members.
BACKGROUND:
The Troop 935 Honor Fund was established in 2001 through the generous contributions of  family and friends in memory of two men in our Scouting family.  C. Boyd "Jerry" Simmons was an Eagle Scout and has had two grandsons as members of Troop 935.  Roger Murray Flippo, Jr. was the Senior Patrol Leader for Troop 935 in September 2001.  He was awarded the Spirit of the Eagle.  A tree for each of Jerry and Roger have been planted at the Ray Harral Nature Park in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma in their memory. This Honor Fund will be a living memorial to them as Troop 935 Scouts and their families will benefit from it for years to come.
