While other patrols were meeting to tie square knots, the dauntless Cherokee Patrol headed west and engaged the mountain for its patrol meeting.  Although it required much sacrifice, adult leaders Walter Wolfram, John Standish, and Stan Fithen led these young men in their quest for scouting greatness.  It is hoped that by setting such an example, that other patrols in Troop 80 will respond to this example and rise to the occasion, challenging themselves to become better Americans, scouts, and men.
