Veteran's Day Parade

Mr. Vickers organized an opportunity for the Ravens to march in the Veteran's Day parade. Mr. Dossel has also uploaded some pictures.




It was a great way for the boys to learn about what our Veterans did for our country.

Camp Grimes with Webelos 2009

Webelos-Grimes-09

Click on photo for photo album.

We again went to Camp Grimes for our November Webelos trip and once again had a great time. The week before was filled with rain but on our weekend it was great weather. We were prepared for 80 people so we put together a special Scout Cook Crew to cook for them all. Our wonderful Scoutmaster (H2) even made each boy a special apron to signify their special position as part of the “Cook Crew”. They were led by Jay C. with long time Scouter Mr. Werkman providing coaching and encouragement. It started with hot dogs and kielbasa on Friday night and continued until lunch on Sunday.

The Ravens were able to finish many of their rank advancement requirements by making a fire, going on a hike, and preparing and cooking a meal over fire on Saturday. The Troop provided the Webelos the opportunity to earn their Outdoorsman Activity Badge. Then Webelos had a chance to participate in Highland Games with the Troop. We had a nice flag retirement ceremony on Saturday night along with a hearty meal of Chili and Beef Stew followed by Dutch Oven Cobblers.

On Sunday the Webelos started their day with a mountain man breakfast cooked by our Cook Crew. Then it was on to our day hike around Camp Grimes. We finished up with a Chapel service provided by our Chaplain Assistant Ryan K. It was a nice ending to our weekend with the Webelos.

And Read the Important Information Below:

SCOUTS & PARENTS:

Are you READY to sell some POPCORN?! Sale starts THIS THURSDAY - 10/1/09!

Do you know WHAT'S NEW FOR 2009 ?!

Hopefully, you got a TRAIL'S END POPCORN SALE PACKET in the mail containing ORDER FORMS and PRODUCT INFO -- OR -- you were at the MEETING this week and picked one up! (If you didn't, you'll need to COME BY CYNTHIA MCGUINNESS' house and pick one up from the file box. Address & directions are at the end of this email.)

PLEASE DISREGARD THE LEVEL PRIZE INFO in the Trail's End mailer. Our level prize program is SO much better!! You can EARN prizes based on your sales level -and- ONCE YOU REACH $350 IN SALES, YOU WILL BE ENTERED IN WEEKLY TROOP PRIZE DRAWINGS. The more you sell after that, the more chances you get in the drawings. The prizes in the weekly drawings are FABULOUS, but you need to be AT THE MEETINGS to actually win! Last year, someone's name was drawn for $160, interior frame, uber-light, adjustable backpack, but he wasn't there. My son's name was drawn next, and he's been putting it to use ever since.

**See the TROOP POPCORN INFO FORM for more details on the PRIZE PACKAGE !!**

TAKE A LOOK at the Trail's End packet! Get familiar w/ the PRODUCTS and ((NEW this year)) read up on how to COLLECT DONATIONS for the Scouts and/or Military Troops. Yep, people who don't want to buy popcorn for themselves can still support Scouting either directly or by BUYING POPCORN FOR THE TROOPS! Scouts get FULL CREDIT towards earning prizes for donations & military gifts... but the donors will need YOU to give them a RECEIPT! The file containing the receipt form is attached to this email, and you can print as many as you need.

SET A SALES GOAL! Scouts have been asked to reach AT LEAST $350 in total popcorn sales & donations. (Re-read that prize package info!)

>>>Our Troop's Total Goal is $30,000!<<<

PUT ON YOUR CLASS A UNIFORM & GO! Remember all the safety rules (use the buddy system, don't go inside houses, look both ways, don't sit down with your pen in your back pocket, etc...) and remember to SPEAK UP about our great Scouting program and TASTY products! >>Idea: keep your sales sheets every year & take them with you when you sell! Help people remember what they got last year & suggest they buy extra!

~~BLITZ WEEK INFO~~ This year, you have over a WEEK to fill up a sheet and earn the BLITZ PRIZE! Choose between a "Bow & Mallow" and a Suunto A-30 compass. See Trail's End Mailer for picture & details on this as well as how to earn tickets to the WFU Sports Spectacular plus SCHOLARSHIP info.

TURN IN ANY CASH/CHECKS YOU COLLECT EACH WEEK to Mr. Spiegelman. Technically, you're not supposed to collect payment for popcorn orders until delivery, but sometimes people insist. That's OK - if they insist, take their money (or better yet, their CHECK made out to TROOP 934) and check off their order as "PD" in the last column on the order form. If they give you a donation, don't forget to give them a receipt & note the gift details on the portion of the form you keep. PARENTS - you may need to show your Scout how to do this part. If you need more info on this, please contact me & I'll walk you through it.

* * FORMS-YOU-NEED * *

** Please PRINT & KEEP this email & the attachments. **

ADDITIONAL COPIES OF SALES FORMS & RECEIPTS will be available in a file box in my driveway by the garage.

I am one of a few people helping Steve Kelley with the sale this year. More help will be needed as the sale progresses, especially when that truckload of popcorn rolls in! Please let Steve, Cathy Watkins-Smith or me know if you can help in any way.

Thanks & best wishes for a successful sale!

Raven Knob 09

Carver's Gap Treks

We had a huge backpacking trip at the end of May with over 60 Scouts and Scouters and 6 Treks. After leaving Winston-Salem we spent the night at Roan Mountain State Park and the boys did a great job of setting up camp in the dark. The next day we broke camp and started to put the Treks at their trail heads. I drove the Pfun Trek to their starting point at Iron Mountain--you can check out their pictures in the post below this one. Big Brown got a little ornery at Carvers Gap but we did get her restarted so she could pick up the rest of the crews so they could start their journeys up from the Gap to the Balds (oh the jokes I could make about some of the leaders here). The Ravens were hiking to the Stan Murray Shelter Area. It was 3 Treks of 22 first-time backpackers and 9 leaders to guide them. Another Trek of slightly older scouts went to the Overmountain Shelter. Both of these groups backtracked on Sunday and exited the trail at Carvers Gap. The older Scouts went from Carvers Gap to 19E and that is a classic hike. On the way we meet a "through" hiker with the trail name Route 66. He has a blog on the Trail Journal. I was told by one Scout that our efforts to start Big Brown were captured on video by a hiker and they might appear on You Tube.

Being involved in the logistics of getting everybody on the trail I was a little late getting started on my hike and I had to rush to catch up with my trek but I did get some great pictures of the Balds on my way up. Most of my early pictures are of the scenery, which is wonderful. I caught up with my crew and was able to take lunch at Grassy Ridge at an elevation of 6165 Feet. The Ravens did a great job on the hike and we had a super camp site at the Stan Murray Shelter. On Sunday we took a group of Ravens that were ready to travel fast so I could pick up the Pfun Frolic Tour at Hughes Gap. We made great time and I took them back to the central meeting place back in the Roan Mountain Camp Grounds at a beautiful creek side shelter were my crew began to prepare lunch for the guys and gal coming off the trail. We got everybody off the trails and gave them a hot lunch and packed up to come back home. It was so cool to give so many boys their first chance to backpack and to have the older boys get a chance to push father then they had ever been before. I'd like to thank the boys and the leaders for making this a great experience for me. Click below to enjoy the show.

Roan Mt 09

Mr. Pfun's Pfrolic

This was the only Trek from our May backpacking trip that did not start at Carver's Gap. It was led by our own Mr. Pfun and he was followed by his merry band of backpackers. This was my favorite group because it had all the elements of a great learning experience for the four first-time backpackers in the Trek. Two very experienced Boy Scouts were on the trip plus two very senior scout leaders. We also added in a new leader who could learn the ropes from the Scouters who have been around for a long time. The new backpackers had not been able to hike when they were Ravens so this was their first hike. They hiked from Iron Mountain to Hughes Gap (over eight miles on the AT). Mr.Pfun provided most of the pictures with a few taken by me when I dropped them off at the trail head. Click on the picture below and enjoy.

Hiking Safety

We went over hiking safety in our last meeting but it is good to go over safety issue again. Check out this Boy Scout video. Let's be ready for our Roan Mountain backpacking trip.

Tenderfoot Requirement #5: Explain the rules of safe hiking, both on the highway and cross-country, during the day and at night. Explain what to do if you are lost.

Bike Trip 2009

Another cool trip that gave many Scouts their first chance at a loooong bike ride (over 25 miles). One of the things I love about the Boy Scouts is the opportunity for many kids to have a unique experience. I know my son has ridden more miles on his two Scout bike trips than he has in his entire life with the added benefit of gorgeous views with his buddies beside him on the trail. My bet would be that over 75 percent of our kids did 20 more miles in one day than they have ever done in any other day of their life. It is quite fulfilling to me as a leader to see these Scouts discover that their abilities are greater than they know.

Mr. Brown found a wonderful campsite for us that was right on the New River. One of the great added benefits of this riverside camp was that the burbling gurgling rumbling sounds of the river drowned out the sounds of talkative scouts and snoring leaders as we slept at night. Saturday morning we had breakfast and loaded up and headed for our start point just north of Galax. As we unloaded the bikes we them bikes to check that they were trail-ready. This pre-hike inspection ensured that all the bikes made it through the long ride. We had Mr. Brown and Mr. Guthrie drive with the van to provide repair service, hydration support, and best of all, to meet us halfway with lunch. They missed the beautiful vistas, the railroad trestles and tunnels that we rode through on our ride. We had the opportunity to ride right into our camp at the end of the ride and it was a great feeling to get off that hard bike seat. Of the 38 of those who started the 25 mile plus trip - WE ALL MADE IT!!!

That night one Patrol made something they called Tornado Lasagna. It seems that instead of layered lasagna it is all put together and mixed as if in a blender but they said it tasted great. Another Patrol made Ziploc ice cream and some the vultures started to hovering around and begging for a taste. The Leaders made enough spahetti to feed the Troop but we had to eat it ourselves because the Patrols made their own suppers. We didn’t want to deprive them of the thrill of eating their own cooking!

I don't know about the boys but I'd love to do this trip again.

Tenderfoot Requirement #4B

Tenderfoot Requirement #4A

4a. Demonstrate how to whip and fuse the ends of a rope.

Morrow Mountain

What an exciting trip we had to Morrow Mountain. Nearly 60 Scouts and leaders filled "Big Brown" and the church van so personal vehicles were needed to get everybody to the park. The trailer was filled to the top with Troop gear, food and personal gear. Mr Smith and I were the Trip leaders and we agreed it was a great Scout weekend.The instructor patrol worked with the Ravens to setup their tents on Friday night and then taught the new Scouts how to cook using the Coleman Camp Stoves on Saturday and Sunday morning.

Things I thought were great:

• The Ravens getting to ride in "Big Brown" for the first time. It is a rite of passage for all Troop 934 members.
• The Ravens setting their tents up for the first of many times in the dark.
• Watching the oldest Scouts working with the newest Scouts to get breakfast on the table.
• Scouts teaching other Scouts during the Fishing Merit Badge session.
• After losing their hooks while fishing I watched a couple of Ravens used their new skill of the improved cinch knot to tie a fishing hook to their fishing line.
  
• Boys handling a wiggling worm for the first time.
• Scouts scaling, cleaning, gutting and fileting the fish they were going to eat that night.
• The new boys being taught knife and axe safety so they could earn their Totin' Chip before summer camp.

Like I told the Ravens: Think of all the things you did this weekend that most of your friends at school have never done. How many have slept in a tent that they set up without their parents being there? How many have prepared a fish so they could eat it that night? How many have ever used an axe to cut up firewood or made their own breakfast and cleaned up afterwards?

This is the start of a great journey for these Ravens.

Mr. Vickers has posted some pictures from the trip.

Tenderfoot Requirement #2

Tenderfoot Requirement #2

Spend at least one night on a patrol or troop campout. Sleep in a tent you have helped pitch.

On Monday night we had the Ravens practice with 3 boy leaders who showed them how to put up our Troop tents. On Friday night they will have their chance to do it themselves outside and it will be their home for the weekend. We have some older boys lined up to help with the pitching of the tents as needed.

Tenderfoot Requirement #3

Tenderfoot Requirement #3

On the campout, assist in preparing and cooking one of your patrol's meals. Tell why it is important for each patrol member to share in meal preparation and cleanup, and explain the importance of eating together.

On the trip the Ravens will prepare 2 breakfasts (,pancakes and bacon, and eggs and sausage ). They will work on setting up a sandwich lunch and for supper they will clean a fish, prepare it and then help cook it. They will also help with cleanup after the meals--the older Scouts will assist them with these chores.

I don’t think any meal taste as good as one that you prepare for yourself and your buddies.

The Buddy System/Tenderfoot Requirement #9

Here is the Boy Scouts Video on the "Buddy System"

Wikipedia list 4 groups that use the Buddy System:

1. The USA Armed Forces
2. Firefighters
3. Scuba Divers
4. Boy Scouts

Part of Tenderfoot requirement 9b deals with the use of the Buddy System inside and outside of Scouts:


Explain the importance of the buddy system as it relates to your personal safety on outings and in your neighborhood.



The buddy system is a way for Scouts to look after one another, especially during outdoor adventures. When your troop goes swimming, for example, each Scout will be assigned a buddy. You keep track of what your buddy is up to, and he knows at all times where you are and how you are doing. Now and then a Scout leader might call for a buddy check. That means you must immediately hold up the hand of your buddy. If anyone is missing, everyone will know it right away. The buddy system should always be used when a troop or patrol is hiking, camping, and participating in any aquatics activities. It's a way of sharing the good times and preventing the bad. You can use the buddy system when you go places in your community, as well, to help keep yourself and your buddies safe.


Here is the Boy Scouts Video on the "Buddy System"

Trey Jones Expo

Trey Jones

Trey Jones was a member of Troop 934 and the Expo is in his honor and a tribute to his love of Philmont. This is from the Winston-Salem Journal article.

Trey Jones Journal article

Get Out! The passion of dedicated Scout lives on

By Lisa O'Donnell | Journal Columnist and Reporter
Published: February 13, 2009
A few months after her son died, Jan Jones gathered the strength to sort through piles and piles of his outdoor gear.
A family friend who was helping Jones surveyed the spread of carabiners, ropes, stuff sacks, packs and paddles.
"You know, Mrs. Jones," the friend said. "He really was a gearhead."
Indeed, Trey Jones loved his gear.
And he put that gear to use, most notably during summer trips to Philmont Scout Ranch, a 138,000-acre spread in New Mexico where thousands of Boy Scouts with a taste for adventure have been congregating for more than 70 years.
No question about ‘dream job'
For Jones, Philmont was a magical place where he learned self-reliance, responsibility and leadership skills in the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
"He thrived out there," Jan Jones said.
She once asked her son what his dream job would be.
"Director of Philmont," he answered without pause.
Jones never got that chance. He died on Dec. 24, 2005 from injuries sustained in a one-person car wreck. He was 22.
It didn't take Jan Jones long to decide how she wanted to honor her son.
"Probably within the first hour, I knew I wanted something done for Philmont," she said.
A scholarship ... a recipient
With the help of friends and family, Jones created the Trey Jones Philmont Scholarship, which will help pay the way for a local Boy Scout affiliated with the Old Hickory Council to go to Philmont for a 12-day backpacking adventure. The scholarship will pay for the travel expenses.
"I hope it will flip that switch for someone like it did for Trey," Jones said. "He was such a changed person."
Last week, the scholarship committee chose Dusty Daub of Pfafftown as the first recipient of the scholarship. Dusty, 16, is a member of Troop 918, which is based at Pfafftown Christian Church.
Mike Lee, the troop leader, said that Dusty loves Scouting and the outdoors.
"He knows it's going to be fun," Lee said. "But he doesn't know how much."
The scholarship is being financed in part by the Trey Jones Gearhead Expo, which is put together by Don Wright of the Village Outdoor Shop in Reynolda Village.
The expo, now in its second year, is a gathering of outdoors-equipment vendors who will be selling their new spring gear and apparel.
Representatives from Mountain Hardware, Keen, Marmot, MSR, Icebreaker, Deuter and Thermarest are among those scheduled to set up at the expo, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 7 at the Village Outdoor Shop. Representatives from Philmont will also be available to talk with local Scouts who will be going to Philmont this summer.
More than 120 local Scouts and adult leaders will be traveling to Philmont this summer, Wright said.
A portion of the proceeds from the expo will help finance the scholarship endowment set up by the Jones family and another scholarship that Philmont officials established in Jones' honor.
Wright says he is happy to help with the expo. He had a long relationship with Trey Jones that dated to 1996 when he sold Jan Jones a kayak that she gave to her son.
"I watched him grow up," Wright said. "He was always coming into the store and buying gear."
Philmont, and Scouting in general, helped fill a hole in Jones' life after his father, Burton, died from melanoma in 1995. Jones was in third grade at the time.
"With Trey not having a father, I trusted those Scout leaders," Jan Jones said. "Those men became the adult role models in his life, no doubt about it."
Jones said that her son loved everything about Scouting. She laughed as she recalled her young son's fondness for his uniform. "He just loved that uniform," she said. "I think that, too, ties into the gearhead thing. It identified him as part of a group."
Jones' trips to Philmont began when he was 14 and ended the summer before his death. He took several extended backpacking treks, helped build trails and directed the Roving Outdoor Conservation School, which involved overseeing conservation projects on the Philmont property.
Mark Anderson, the director of Philmont Scout Ranch, said that Jones was kindhearted and industrious.
"People still comment about what kind of person he was, and that means you've left an impression beyond being just an acquaintance," Anderson said.
"You've been a person that someone appreciates," he said. "Trey is still remembered."
Jan Jones said she hopes that Philmont will give to Dusty what it gave her son. Last week, she visited with Dusty and shared with him some of the many pictures that her son took during his trips to Philmont.
He told her he plans to bring his camera and take pictures of everything.
"And when I get back," he told her, "I'll show you my pictures."
