2023 FAREWELL MESSAGES
FROM OUR GRADUATING SENIORS
TO OUR RETURNING SCOUTS
You are my chosen family and friends.
Memories made here are forever.
This made an impact on me.
Mackinac will always be a place to return home to.
The Advisors have always been there for me.... taking pictures of me mopping the bathroom.
We are all going down separate paths, that will cross again in Mackinac.
You are the future of Mackinac.
Troop 327 is in good hands -- even you 1st years.
Some of my best memories: braiding hair, homemade cookies, milkshakes with my Big Sister, Fort trash and kickball with Fort staff.
I wrote my Senior farewell speech in the notebook I got from my Secret Pal my first year.
I measure my year in events: Mackinac was always the week after school got out.
I frequently refer to our situation as living in the 90s. It's a phone detox. Our connections form more quickly and organically.
When people ask me my favorite place to go, I say: Disney and Mackinac
This Mackinac Magic moment will never be here again wihout all of you.
Every year on the Island I found new things that I love.
A few of my favorites: Patrol theme night, sunrise at Arch Rock, sweeping the stairs at Art Museum with my Patrol, mopping the floor with Ava.
I stay because I had the best time.
We all got to grow up together.
You didn't get friends, you got sisters.
Thinking of all your years on the Island. This view is special and only shared by scouts. During the day it is Upper Gun, but on Friday night, the 3rd week of June, this is our Inspiration Point.
Mackinac Magic will live forever.
