I received TB from Koda at the 2005 Michigan Commissioner College at Mid-Michigan Community College on October 8th. TB attended the Bachelor of Unit Service training and enjoyed the fellowship of BSA leaders improving their skills to help suppport the BSA units they serve. As many of the attendees were Eagle Scouts, Koda made sure that a photo of TB and those Eagle scouts was taken, and said he would post the picture. I am planning on using the TB to introduce Geocaching to Troop 407 (Novi, MI). I will also be taking TB to campouts and Clinton Valley Activities, trying to get photos of TB with as many Eagles as possible.

I had this bug for loger than I should have. It has had many scouting expieriences the last month. It has attended several Boy Scout meetings, a troop court of honor, an Eagle Scout court of honor, Cub Scout Roundup, attended Cub Scout meetings, gone through OA ordeal, and is now BALOO trained.
I grabbed this bug from Trail to Eagle just before I drove to Camp Rotary for Commissioners College. Attached is a photo of the 7 eagle scouts that were in attendance during my unit commissioner class (thats me holding the bug). From there I passed it on to alofnovi, a fellow cacher that was taking the class.

A trustworthy Eagle Scout loyally retrieved this TB in a helpful fashion. The friendly man courteously escorted his kind wife through the trees to the cache. He was obedient to the travel bug's mission, and cheerfully continued east in his Honda Civic, an extremely thrifty car. He braved ferocious thunderstorms on the Interstate, while thinking only clean words as truckers forced him from his lane. This TB will end up in Ohio, almost in Michigan. I must regard this dorky travel bug saint with reverence.
