The Northeast Iowa Council is pleased to honor Mike Puetz as a Spotlight Volunteer! Mike received the Silver Beaver award for 2017!
How many units can one individual give attention to? There seems to be no limit, based on the contributions of Mike Puetz. He has served as a Cubmaster, a Scoutmaster, a Venture Crew adviser, Timmeu Lodge committee adviser, and a contingent leader for the National Order of the Arrow Conference. Mike recognized long ago that being trained was important to his success in delivering a quality program to youth. He completed the C-05-05 Woodbadge training and later served on Woodbadge staff in the most recent course hosted by the Council.
In spite his unit-level service, Mike still finds time to assist with numerous activities to help maintain and improve Camp Klaus. This has included brush and tree removal after storms, weekday preparations preceding the OA Section conclave, and assisting with the golf outing to help raise funds for Camp Klaus.
In addition to his Scouting activities, Mike has made numerous contributions to the Friends of the Future Farmers of America. This organization even acknowledged his contributions by bestowing the Friends of the West Dubuque FFA Honorary Chapter Member recognition. He currently serves as treasurer of the Tri County Sportsman Club.
On behalf of the Northeast Iowa Council, please help us say thank you to a very dedicated Scouter, Mike Puetz!
