Mike Guntle
Everyday Star

Mike Guntle is a very dedicated Boy Scout leader who, even though he works many weekends, always finds time to take his troop camping or spend time mentoring them in other activities. He teaches the older scouts to be organized and to help keep control of the troop.

I chose to do this painting of a camping scene because it symbolizes what Mike does with his troop.  The serenity of the setting reflects the calming influence and order that is prominent when Mike is present.
