Only a few years old, the boys of Troop 14 went home with the Camporee Trophy, their first!

A new merit badge rewarding you for creativity, fun, and strategy? I’m game.
Your Scouts will be too when the Game Design merit badge debuts next year.
Approved and listed on my Guide to New Merit Badges for a month now, the new badge is in mid-development. But lucky for you, I got a sneak peek from Janice Downey, senior innovation manager with the BSA.

Hello Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts & Venturers!
It’s time to Go Big and Get Wild !!! Are you in ?
National Jamboree 2013 will be the first ever at the new permanent Jamboree site at the Summit-Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. Our Montana Council has been allocated two contingent Troops; however, if you want to be part of this awesome and historic event you’ll have to act fast because we only have a few spots left!
There will be opportunities for Scouts to serve in other ways, too. Begin thinking about this now and watch for more information soon regarding:
A. 3rd Assistant Scoutmaster – must be between 18 and 21 years old during Jamboree;
B. Troop Leadership – SPL, ASPL, Quartermaster, Scribe, etc.;
C. The Jamboree Patch Design Contest for our Montana contingent.
Please see the attached flier with some important info you’ll want to read, including some of the special and unique Jamboree 2013 activities you’ll get to do!
Other great spots to get information include:
A few things to remember –
Paying for Jamboree is do-able and the entire trip is a great value -
A payment plan is in place to help;
There is still plenty of time to earn some of the money (popcorn!); and
Campership applications are due to BSA by October 1, 2012.
(Adults and Scouts who will be older than 18 – Jamboree still needs Staff ! Get more information and register online via the “Staff” link on the Jamboree website: https://summit.scouting.org )
We hope you can join us for this Jamboree! (the next one is scheduled for 2017)
Yours in Scouting,
Montana’s Jamboree Leadership Team
Earning the Eagle Scout Award is something to write home about — literally.
Politicians, astronauts, celebrities, and other recognizable figures have been sending hand-signed letters to new Eagle Scouts for, well, 100 years.
The very first congratulatory letter was sent in 1912 when the first Eagle Scout, Arthur R. Eldred, received a note from James E. West, the first Chief Scout Executive.
Jamboree on the Trail is this May 12th. It’s the day before Mother’s Day. It is also an unofficial International Scouting event. As with all things Cool, it started up in Canada and progressed around the world. For the past several years I have tried to make this event happen for the Pack. Last year, I was at Gilwell Field for Woodbadge 2011.
Question: What is the only Jewish celebration that involves lighting campfires (bonfires) and shooting bows and arrows? Answer: Lag B’Omer! The holiday, a “break” in the solemnity involved in the counting of the Omer, is celebrated with bonfires, torches, song, shooting bows and arrows and feasting.
Fires may commemorate the revelation of the Zohar and bows and arrows may signify the rainbow (the sign given by Hashem to signify G-d’s promise to never again destroy the Earth with flood).
If you have not turned in your application for day camp, please get them turned in by Friday. We will be ordering T-shirts next week, and if we do not have a shirt size for your boys they will get shirt in a youth size medium. Also I mis typed the date for the June training it is NOT the 3rd it is the 2nd of June, sorry about that. Any questions please call Cathy Korona 788-1016.
