The Klondike!

4 of the boys attended the Klondike this last weekend and had a great time. They did very well for their first time getting 2nd place overall and 2 first and a third out of the 7 events!

I just received word that Wednesday night the bird guy will be joining us again (he was a big hit last year)! And remember this pack night is the cake contest!

See you there!

Weekly Update!

This week we met at the Bolivar Fire Department and the boys did some community service work. They cleared the snow from in front of the doors (the stuff the plows missed). They also learned how to load the hose on the fire trucks and even were up on the trucks assisting the firemen! We also want to thank Randy Torrey and the rest of the crew for taking the time with the boys.

They had a good time. We also discussed the Klondike which we leave for on Saturday morning at 8am (from the Parish Hall).

Keep Warm!

Weekly Update!

Last night was a bit chaotic. We wrapped up the boys Outdoorsman achievement by having some of them pitch a tent. We also spent some time working on knots for their Arrow of Light. Most of them can now do the square knot but most still need a bit of work on their two half hitch. They took their ropes home with them so they can work on it.

I also handed out information about the Klondike which is coming up very soon. It's a overnighter at Elk Lick. We have a cabin rented. It is mandatory that all boys have an accompanying adult. It should be a good time just make sure you bring plenty of warm weather clothing as it could be very cold!

Stay Warm and have a good week!

Weekly Update...

This week we worked on the handyman achievement. The boys learned some basic maintenance for their bicycles. Oiling the chain and cables, adjusting the derailers and adjusting the seat were all demonstrated. They also learned how to check the fluids on a car (oil, washer fluid, brake fluid and radiator fluid.

We also started working on some new knots. The 2 half hitch and the square knot. We still need to work on them a bit more but we're getting there.

Next week more knots and we wrap up the Handyman!

Have a good week...
