Spring Court of Honor

Mon, 05/07/2012 - 2:22pm — mr.kelton

Its time for our Spring Court of Honor on May 15, 2012 – just before Summer Camp and our Sea Base adventures.

Mrs. Wells needs to know if you have advanced in rank since our last Court of Honor. You also have tomorrow night to have any unmet merit badge requirements signed off so that you can receive the badge on the 15th.

Tomorrow night, the PLC will decide on the venue and snacks.

Yours in Scouting,

Mr. Kelton

National Youth Leadership Training

Tue, 04/03/2012 - 9:48am — mr.kelton

Scouts who are in position of leadership or that one day would like to be the Senior Patrol Leader should attend NYLT. At NYLT, Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts from across the Greater Alabama Council will be organized as an "ideal" troop to learn leadership skills and operate according to the Scout Oath and Law. You will be led by older scouts who have already been through the program with adult oversight.

There are two opportunities to attend NYLT this summer. May 27-June 2 and July 15 to July 22.

Please download the linked PDF file which will answer all of your basic questions.

Philmont Preparation Notes

Wed, 01/04/2012 - 10:33pm — Mr.McCarn

Attached are the Philmont documents we’ve used in the past. The first attachment, “Philmont Document Guide”, provides an explanation of the other documents. It helps to know how to navigate them as you look for gear or try to come up to speed on what is necessary for Philmont. Use these resources as you gather equipment for the Philmont trek.

Philmont 2013! Revised with dates of expedition

Tue, 12/20/2011 - 9:07pm — Mr.Wallace

I am very excited to announce that Troop 757 has received confirmation that we have received a tentative 2013 Philmont Expedition for 2 crews! Our expected arrival date for Philmont is June 27th, 2013; our departure date is July 9th, 2013. We now have two complete crews of scouts and adults who have signed up but we are still accepting sign-ups for those who would like to be placed on the stand-by list. Scouts must be at least First-Class rank, 14 years old, and members of the Venturing patrol prior to the date of the event. I will take reservations on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Hey guys, and dads,

Yes it is time for the annual ski trip, but there is no snow. Maybe the trip can be rescheduled when there is snow. Will keep an eye on the situation.

Time for the annual ski trip. Be sure to sign up asap. We do need to have a bunch to lower the cost per scout and dad. Hurry ! ! !

Talakto District Fall Camporee

Sat, 11/05/2011 - 1:24pm — Mr.Boyd

The Talakto District Fall Camporee is this Friday, November 11. Cost is $25 per Scout, including late registration and food. The theme is "A Salute to Veterans" and goes quite nicely with our activity we will have just completed, the Veteran's Day Parade and Memorial Dedication.

Because of the short time until the event, full PLC coordination was not possible.

This should be a fun campout with interesting displays of camp life during the Korean War and Vietnam War, cooking competitions and a flag retirement.

Siege of Mafeking

Tue, 11/01/2011 - 11:39pm — Mr.Boyd

In 1899, war broke out between the British Empire and the Boer Republic of South Africa. Unable to convince the British government to send troops, Colonel Robert Baden-Powell was sent to raise an army from among British settlers and to dissuade the local population from siding with the Boers.

It is now feared that President Krueger of the Boer Republic will attempt to lay siege to the town of Mafeking, where Baden-Powell has his headquarters.
