Oct 1-2, Survival Skills Training Campout

This Event is Postponed until after soccer and other sports/band seasons end.

Cost $20 per scout. We'll leave from St. Basil's on Friday evening at 6:30 and return by 9:30 am on Sunday.

Bring your uniform shirt to wear for travel and dinners.

(Google maps is off a little on the address. It's actually 8 driveways closer to Bellus Rd than Google maps shows. Almost at address 1950 instead of 1976.)

We're looking at having Mr. Laskowski teach the following topics:

	Fire Building, 1-match fire, and matchless fire starting
	Shelter Building.
	Knife Sharpening
	Drinking Water & Filtration
	Fish: Fillet and make Jerky (smoked fish)

These are very interesting and well-run sessions. We've had Mr. Laskowski contribute to our program for a number of years.

Any unused funds will be credited back to scout accounts.

The Wygonski property has everything we need to finish up some advancement requirements:

	Flag Raising/Lowering ceremonies.
	Cooking and Camping
	Knots

To view photos from 2009, Click Here.

Videos as well.

	Water from a Vine
	Getting food

Preparation:

	Bring tinder that you think will work for firebuilding. We'll learn how to make it and you'll be able to compare what you brought with what you made during the training session. (Hint - start collecting dryer lint)
	Bring a pocket knife. You may be whittling your own "bow" fire starter.
	Bring boots - expect some mud in the woods.
	Bring your mess kit and utensils.

HISTORICAL MERIT BADGES ADDED

As part of the centennial year celebration of the Boy Scouts of America, Camp Manatoc is pleased to offer 3 of the 4 historical merit badges this summer!

All 3 classes will be offered from 3:30 - 5:00pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Due to the limited nature and expected popularity of these merit badges Scouts may only earn one of these historical merit badges during a week at camp.

Aug 8-9 Hale Farm Civil War Reenactment Service and Campout.
We help run parking lot and camp with the reenactors on Saturday night.

It's mid August and that means the North and the South are at war again at Hale Farm and Village. This is one of the most popular activities at Hale Farm and that means lots of people. Lots of people means lots of cars. We help out Hale Farm every year by directing traffic. After all cars are in place we go in and watch the battle.

We are invited to set up camp and stay overnight with the re-enactors.

Who: Everyone associated with the Troop or Crew. Scouts, Scouters, Parents.

Date: August 8 and 9

Time: Gates open at 10 AM each day, scouts and adults pick up orange vests, help set up the parking area, and get briefed on the parking pattern. We finish around 2:30 or 3 PM and go in to watch re-enactment and walk around campsites. Any number of hours you can give are greatly appreciated.

Attire: Class A uniform for scouts and scouters. Parents wearing the orange vests can get into the grounds.

Camping: Not required, but very cool experience.

Cost: Free!

Summer Camp Wrap Up

Good Summer Camp! Lots of badges earned. Lots of Summer Camp stuff even when they weren't working on badges.

Congratulations to you scouts for accomplishing so much and making the week so enjoyable.

Our scouts are on a renewed mission to show each other the respect they deserve and reflect the qualities in the Scout Law.

Special commendation to our Youth Leaders who really took the load off the old scoutmaster and who showed the other troops what "Scout led, Scout run" really means. I actually had some staff people mention that it's unusual for a troop as large as ours to be as much "Scout Run" as we are. Quite a few said that they wish that they'd been in a troop like ours. Yes!

All of our experienced scouts were outstanding - switching tent mates so that
a first-year wouldn't be alone, helping with requirements, and showing them
how to make camp enjoyable. Special kudos to Jon, Chris, Bret, and Dan.
Kudos to Walter, Joe, Angelo, Kyle, Alex and Brandon and others.

I'll be compiling a list of what scouts took what badges and whether they
completed them or got partials. I'll send it along as soon as I finish it.

A big "Thank You" to all who helped with Wednesday Dinner and camp
logistics/leadership.

Reminder: You can finish partials while Summer Camp is in session (through the first week of August). You'll need your Blue Card and Health Form and possibly your "buddy tags" if you're going to do a water badge - I have all of these items.

Camp Staff suggests that you go during the "Open Area" time (3:30-5:00).

Finally, the Roadrunner Patrol of Troop 652 won the Camp-wide games!
There is a new trophy which will have the winning patrols names engraved on it for posterity in the dining hall. The first/top name on the trophy will forever
be: 2009 Troop 652 - Roadrunners.
Wow!

Summer Camp 2008

Where: Camp Manatoc, Peninsula OH

How Much: $200 by May 22, $220 by June 15, $240 by June 21

Parent Meeting Handouts available online.

Pick from: Definite Yes, Probable Yes, Possible Yes, Probable No, Definite No, and "Interested but don't know enough to decide yet" - which may include questions about camp, family vacation schedules, PSR issues, etc.

You can keep up to date at the Summer Camp web site: www.gtcbsa.org/manatoc/index.html

Every little organizational detail is available in the "Leader's Guide" www.gtcbsa.org/manatoc/summer_camp/files/2009_leaders.pdf

I found this on the Manatoc web site:

Summer Camp "First Year" Camper Open House - On Saturday May 2nd at 9am-12, Manatoc will host its "First Year Camper Open House". Beginning in the Trading Post, this event will allow Scouts and Parents an opportunity to see what a normal campsite has, visit several of the program areas, their Troops campsite to help them get oriented to the other areas of camp.

Start making your plans for Summer Camp! Here's how we'll do this:

	Check the "Getting Started" page for a preview and some shopping tips. Check the "Photos" site for some ideas from past years.
	You'll select your merit badges and fill out your "Blue Cards"
	Payment from your scout camping account or by check payable to Troop 652: The cost, listed below, covers the camp fee. Other expenses are paid for from troop funds raised at the Brecksville HomeDays pop sale - things like group photos, family night dinner, and the pizza party on Friday night. $200 if paid by the May 21st meeting, $220 if paid after May 22 but before June 15, $240 after June 15
	Camp begins at 12:00 noon on Sunday, Father's Day, June 21 and ends at 9:30 on Saturday June 27.

Suggested first year curriculum

	If you're looking for ideas for what to take, consider: T-2-1, Art, Swimming, Mammals, Env. Science, Space Exploration, Leatherwork, Sculpture, Basketry
	I'd recommend either the 9 am or 11 am session named T-2-1 where they will go over many of the requirements for Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, and 1st Class. This could speed up your advancement.
	Note: as you've probably noticed already, Eagle-required badges require work.
	Swimming is good to take if you're able to swim. It's an Eagle Required badge.
	Environmental Science is do-able but not easy. It's an Eagle required badge as well.
	Mammals is in the evening and is a standard for 1st year scouts. It is less popular since they moved from the morning to the evening. Homework.
	Space Exploration is not easy and has some homework but it includes building and launching a model rocket on Thursday.
	Art, Leatherwork, Sculpture, Basketry, and other "handicraft" badges don't have to be scheduled so you can take as many as you like. Some require you to buy "kits" that you then make or work with. These are traditional Boy Scout level badges which are probably more involved than what you've done before. Be warned: you have to make your own clay for the sculpture badge - they will teach you how.

Family Night:

	We need a guest count and a list of what "side dish" or dessert you'll be bringing. I have some responses so far but not nearly as many as expected.
	Please RSVP via email listing your "dish" or "dessert" and how many will be attending.

Tent arrangements:

	The tents are already there and set up at camp. You won't need to bring a tent. There are now 18 tents at our site.
	"Tent buddies" are figured out among the scouts. No first year camper is allowed to be a "single" in a tent.
	We have 11 first-year campers so one of the first year scouts will be tenting with an older scout.

Camper release forms and coming and going schedules:

	The camp requires photo-ID from those picking up scouts for any reason - even emergencies. If the Camper Release Form doesn't name the person it can get complicated very quickly.
	We track comings and going schedules so that I can account for everyone at all times.
	If you know what days/times you will be out of camp, please let me know ahead of time so that I can pre-load the schedule and let the SPL know what he can expect to have available for the duty roster.

June, 2009

Brecksville Home Days is Friday (6/26), Saturday (6/27) and Sunday (6/28) at the Brecksville Square.

We're a little behind this year because we usually have someone designated to arrange it. This year we don't.

Let me know if you are willing to pick up on any part of this.

Many of us will be at Summer Camp on Friday night. You'd think that the Summer Camp attendees would be tired and reluctant to work at the pop sale on Saturday but it's usually the opposite - most are eager to get back together and share stories and make the shared experience last just a bit longer.

This is the troop's major annual fund raiser. It funds all of the troop regular operating and equipment expenses. We have a booth on Stadium Drive (closer to Rt. 21 than usual but that should be OK) where we stock pop, water, and ice. Pairs of scouts take coolers of ice-cold drinks around the event grounds selling drinks for $1. We're very popular and the community appreciates being able to get affordable drinks as much as we enjoy funding our program from the sales. A family of 4 can get drinks from us for $4 instead of the $12-16 it would cost at the concession stands.

We're looking for volunteers to do the parts. I list some of the major functions here but there are details like having change at the start of the sale, covering the inventory with tarps every night, etc.

	(Mr. Hudak) someone to order the pop and be the contact person with the Coca-Cola distributor.
	A place to keep it. We sell more than we can store at the booth so we'll need a place to have the Coke truck deliver the inventory. Maybe we can use one of the buildings at St. Basil's. They pick up whatever we don't sell and send us a bill.
	Someone to keep the booth duty schedules We need adults to staff the booth (2 per shift) and pairs of scouts to sell from wagons.

I'm sure there are other things that need to be done like making signs for the booth and the wagons but I'll have to dig out my records to see what the plans were from previous years.

June 29, 2009

Parish Picnic The St. Basil's Parish Picnic is Sunday (6/28).

This is a service that we do for the parish for the accommodations they make for us. We'll need 6 or more scouts during the day (noon until 4 or 4:30). The scouts keep the coolers stocked with pop & water and help people find what they're looking for. The older folks also don't like putting their hands in the cold water so they will ask for help as well.

Most years, we start folding up the chairs and tables starting around 4:30. The tables need adults.

Most scouts go to Home Days after the picnic begins to slow down.

Scouts & adults eat free.
