WINSLOW — Three Scouters were recognized for decades of service helping youth develop in the Scouting programs.
Scott Bernier of Augusta was honored for 45 years of Scouting tenure, Alan Duplessis for 35 years and Karla Talpey for 30 years. Both Duplessis and Talpey are from Jackman.
All three were recognized during the Kennebec Valley District Scouting Recognition Dinner, held March 24 at the Winslow Parks and Recreation Hall.
The Veteran Award recognizes adults for their tenure in Scouting. Tenure earned as a youth member may be included.
Veterans agree to live up to their Scouting obligations, make themselves available for service and be active in promoting Scouting as circumstances permit. They must also be currently registered in the BSA. Veterans receive a certificate and veteran pin, which is for non-uniform wear.
