"Great Lakes" chosen for new council name!
From hundreds of names sent in by Scouts around the Detroit Metropolitan Area, the name Great Lakes Council was chosen as the name of the new council created from the recently merged Clinton Valley and Detroit Area Councils.
"I was pulling for Red Wings Council," remarked Chippewa Lodge member and hockey fan Justin Coluzzi. Section Chief Brad Lichota had his own favorite: "Krispy Kreme Council, man! I'm ok with corporate sponsorships if they come with donuts at board meetings."
Andrew Curtiss, Migisi Opawgan Lodge Chief, pointed in a more pop culture direction. "I think it should have been the Don Draper Council." This would apparently be named after fictional 1960s advertising mogul Don Draper. Several area mothers have been reported to call Mr. Draper "dreamy" awkwardly in front of their sons, who are just glad their mothers are "finally out of that George Clooney phase."
Great Lakes Council narrowly beat out other generic Michigan names such as "Motor City Council," "The Other Gerald Ford Council," "Mackinaw Island Fudge Council," and "Jeff Daniels Council."
 | Did you know that... The Great Lakes Council is now one of just two councils in Michigan that do not touch a single one of the five Great Lakes? |
