Mr. Garner challenges YOU, TROOP 110, to earn the Honor Troop Award. See page 40-41 of the Raven Knob Leaders Guide. Merit Troop Award is certainly do-able, but TROOP 110 looks for the higher goals! Everybody has to play a part in order to make this happen!
I challenge YOU, adult leaders of TROOP 110, to earn the Scoutmaster Merit Badge. See page 32 of the Raven Knob Leaders Guide. This one is challenging, and the result will be a better Summer Camp experience for all the Scouts and Scouters that week.
I challenge YOU, TROOP 110, to act as color guard at at least one breakfast or dinner assembly!
I challenge YOU, TROOP 110, to plan and conduct at least one Troop Campfire program, with skits, songs, stories and all that goes with it! Each program should be conducted by a Scout needing to meet that requirement for the Communications MB.
I challenge YOU, TROOP 110, to have at least one Cracker Barrel, including at least one other unit as your guest.
To paraphrase what President Kennedy said about other challenges, “We choose to [to do these things], not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”
… or George S. Patton: “Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.”
… or Henry David Thoreau: “In the long run, you only hit what you aim at.”
Be Prepared! – Review your needs for merit badges. At the April 27th meeting we will begin the sign-up for summer camp merit badges.
The “09 Raven Knob Leaders Guide” is on the Downloads Page and is NOT just for leaders. It is packed with information about merit badges and the camp. Download it and check things out for yourself.
Send an email to Mr. B if you already know what you want for merit badges.
NOTE: We recommend that new scouts enroll in the “Raven Scout” program. This helps them with achievements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class.
Our summer camp reservations are in for Raven Knob Scout Reservation (map). We are going the week of July 26 through August 1. Below is who’s on the list so far:
What a huge success! The week was packed with memories we will carry the rest of our lives. Woodruff Scout Reservation was a great location. Other than a few hiccups, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our expectations were exceeded and we had a great week.
