Philmont 2010

In the Summer of 2010 Troop 934 sent a crew (623-E4) to Philmont Scout Ranch. After flying 3/4 the way across the country we had a adventure filled pre-trip. In Denver we attended a Rockies game; in Colorado Springs we visited the Air Force Academy, the Indian Cliff Dwellers, and finished with the "Garden of the Gods". Then the next day we had a full day of whitewater rafting trip down the Browns Canyon section on the Arkansas River. The next day over we biked 20 miles down the 14,000 foot Pikes Peak and revisited the Garden of the Gods.

After all of that we then were able to get to the meat of our adventure at Philmont.

I've been gathering the pictures and adding some maps and patches to help divide the days. I still have the hope of getting a few more pictures and will update if I get some more. The photo album has over 800 pictures, but I have culled just as many. If you have some time to spend check out our "Summit of Scouting" adventure. Click below to see the photo album.

Sea Base 2010

In the summer of 2010 Troop 934 sent 17 Scouts and Scouters down to the Florida Keys and the BSA Sea Base. They took part in the High Adventure Sea Exploring program. Below is the description offered at the BSA Sea Base web site.

SEA EXPLORING (Keys Tall Ship)

Designed for larger groups (either a council contingent or a larger troop), offering your crew the opportunity to experience a sailing adventure of yesteryear. These are large vessels, 75 feet or more, normally gaff-rigged topsail schooners, fully equipped and prepared to provide an unforgettable adventure snorkeling the beautiful Keys' reefs, fishing, and hands-on sailing as well as a port-o-call in Key West.

For a hands-on sailing adventure voyage, one that is exciting, ruggedly challenging, and excellent for larger groups, pack your sea bag for the Sea Exploring program. This is an eight day event.

2010 Webelos Trip

In November we had a wonderful trip with the Pack 934 Webelos. We went to Camp Raven Knob and spent the weekend at Cold Creek Camp site and the Kyle Johnson Shelter. Our older Scouts helped the Webelos with their Readymen requirements and assisted our first year Boy Scouts with advancement requirements. Everybody had a chance to play in Mountain Men games. Lots of really good food and great times.
