For 101 Scouts and Families, Join us at the Scout Center for a special presentation of "Follow Me Boys".

Movie Premise:

Length: 2 hours
Start Time: 7:00 pm

This is probably one of the best Scouting movies ever released. It has a little of everything.

Pizza and Drink will be provided, so be sure to let Mr. Matt know you're coming by June 25th so he knows how much food to get.

We'll be playing the movie in the Scout Building.

Family Camp at Stambaugh

This weekend we invited Troop families to join us for our Annual Family Camp. This year, Family camp was at Camp Stambaugh, and it sure looks like there was plenty of Fun to be had.

Photos from the Trip are now online, in the Troop Gallery. be sure to check them out! Photographer this weekend was Cole K.

If you have an older book, you should print THESE REPLACEMENT PAGES so that you are up to date with the requirements that became mandatory on 1/1/17. You do not lose credit for any requirements completed, but you must meet all the new requirements in order to advance to the next rank.

The Conservation Project requirement for Life seems to cause a lot of confusion for Scouts

The best and most consistent source we have is the BSA’s “Conservation Good Turn” award which can be viewed in its entirety by clicking here.

Although you DO NOT need to complete this award to satisfy the requirement, we do ask that you use it as a guide when you and your patrol together explorer patrol projects that would. The following is an excerpt which should serve as your guide when organizing projects that would satisfy the requirement:

Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers - Suggested projects include, but are not limited to

Plant shrubs to provide food and cover for wildlife.
Build and set out bird and squirrel nesting boxes.
Conduct stream improvement projects to prevent erosion.
Plant grasses and legumes to provide ground cover in schoolyards, public parks, and recreation areas.
Plant tree seedlings as part of a managed forestry plan.
Help thin and prune woodlands in a managed tree improvement project.
With a local forester, take part in or conduct a forest fire prevention program.
Make an exhibit on conservation for a county fair.
Develop a nature trail in a public park.
Assist a local forester in a tree insect- and disease-control or public education project.
Assist a local agency with a trout stream restoration project.
Participate in a wildlife or wildfowl count.
Conduct a rodent-control and public health education program under the guidance of the local health department or agency responsible for rodent control.

To verify the completion/satisfaction of this requirement, we ask that you FIRST arrange the project with either the Campmaster or Ranger of the facility, THEN carry out the project and have the Campmaster/Ranger document and verify the hours worked and that the project was satisfactorily completed.

Packing List

<div><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Scout Uniform (We wear these to and from all camps) including:</td></tr></tbody></table></div><ul><li>Scout Shirt</li><li> Green shoulder tabs</li><li> Scout Pants</li><li> Scout Cap</li><li> Scout belt</li><li> Appropriate patches</li><li> Neckerchief & slide</li><li> Scout Socks- crew length</li></ul><div>Extra Clothing - Rugged pants or Jeans, long sleeve shirts, T-shirts, long underwear (such as Under Armour  or SmartWool tops and bottoms) and additional clothes as needed for layering.   Scouts wear this for the balance of the campout.   Bring a change or enough in case it gets wet or muddy and to accommodate your layering preferences.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Changes of Underwear & Socks- - Always bring plenty of socks and changes of underwear!<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Footwear -   Insulated boots for winter; hiking boots for normal wear, tennis shoes to run around in if the weather is good.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Coats, hats, sweatshirts, gloves - Bring what you need depending on the weather. Don't overdress or underdress -- too many layers may cause your clothes to become damp and you to become cold. And too few layers will make you feel chilled, so it's best to wear 2 to 4 layers of clothing so that you can add or remove them as needed to adjust your body temperature. Remember what Sargent Martin says: "I can be cold or I can be damp, but I don't want to be cold AND damp!"<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Backpack / Duffle Bag – either usually works for most regular camps<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Sleeping Bag -This is a critical item.   Boys need to sleep warm.   If bag is not warm enough, don't hesitate to send an extra blanket or two.   Your bag should have its own nylon stuff sack.  Place a plastic garbage bag inside that before you stuff in the sleeping bag.  That is extra insurance it will be dry. Also, a camp mattress adds an extra layer of insulation to your sleeping system. The troop has loaner bags and mattresses if you want to add a layer. See our Quartermasters for details.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Rain Gear - Who can forget rain gear! Please do not bring cheap, inexpensive ponchos from amusement parks. Your rain gear is one of the most important pieces of gear and should be rugged and breathable. Good rain gear can make the difference between a bad weekend and a Great weekend. We recommend looking at Scoutstuff.org or Campmor.com for the best rain gear at the best prices or ask a troop youth leader or adult for a recommendation. Plastic Ground Sheet - Min. 4' x 7    Even though our tents have floors this extra protection helps.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Flashlight - with fresh batteries; the headlamps are nice as well.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Pocketknife - The BSA pocketknife is best.   A lock blade standard knife is also good.  Rarely is there need for a sheath knife.  Never bring a spring blade.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Mess Kit - containing plate, bowl, cup, spoon, knife, fork<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Toilet Kit - containing soap, comb, washcloth, towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant. But for most weekend camps you can get away with soap, washcloth, toothbrush and toothpaste.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Matches - wooden in a waterproof container.   The troop does not supply these.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Water Bottle - a must for hiking trips, a good thing for MOST trips!<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Compass - not essential for all camps, but a good thing for hikes!<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Scout Handbook - 'Don't leave home without it!      Except maybe a backpacking trip where weight is a consideration.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Pencil and Paper - Be Prepared!<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>1 or 2 Garbage Bags and other plastic bags - always come in handy to cover a pack, sleeping bag or to keep something wet from getting something else wet. <div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Warm Weather Trips:<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Swim Trunks and Towel - For summer fun<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Insect Repellant - Mosquitoes love Boy Scouts!<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Poncho or Rain Gear - Scouts don't melt, but they can be an awful mess.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Sun Screen<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Cold Weather Trips:<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Long Underwear – also layers of clothes are better than a single heavy one.  They can be added or removed as needed.<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div>Extra socks, gloves, good boots – check at any meeting for packing tips<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div><ul><li>Mark everything with your name!</li><li>Learn to pack items in individual plastic bags - it stays dry</li><li>Electronics, food, especially food, water pistols, etc. should stay at home</li><li>Cell phones should stay at home as well, except in special circumstances – ask first.</li></ul></div><div> </div>
