Summer Camp Away

Crew Leaves for Summer Camp

The Scouts left this Sunday for one week at camp at Camp Orr in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. With 30+ Scouts going to Philmont our contingent going to summer camp is smaller than usual, but we know they will have a good time. Weather this week is supposed to be in the mid 80s with lows in the 60s. Should be a great week of fun and excitement.

Order of the Arrow

Troop Reveals Nine New OA Candidates

Every year the troop elects Scouts into Scouting's national honor society of campers, the Order of the Arrow. These Scouts are elected by their peers after having completed 15 days and nights of camping (5 nights of which must be a long term camp) over a two year period. Scouts must have 50% of the troop vote for them to become an OA candidate. Elections are held every January. Once elected, the names of the candidates are kept secret until they are called out in a special ceremony.

Last night the troop held our "tap out" ceremony where the candidates were identified to the troop. Our nine candidates for 2013 are Will E., Logan C., Max D., Rohan B., James L., Turner M., Collin F., Dawson D., and John C. Please join us in congratulating these young men.

A Summer of Fun Planned

PLC Planning Summer Fun

Just because school is out does not mean the fun stops for our troop. The PLC met this past Monday to plan out several fun activities for the troop during the summer months. So far we are planning another special archery event, our annual "movie night", a night of go-cart driving, a swim party or two, as well as several other great events. If you want to help plan these events please contact your SPL.

Don't miss out. Plan on attending these great events!

20 New Wilderness First Aid Responders

Troop 380 Has 20 New Trained Scouts/Scouters In WRFA

This past weekend 11 Scouts and 9 Scouters attended the American Red Cross course on Wilderness and Remote First Aid. This advanced first aid course is designed to train first responders on how to apply first aid when professional medical services are hours or even days away. The class consisted of several hours of classroom instruction as well as applying what was learned in several hands-on scenarios. It was an intense and fun-filled training where both boys and adults learned a great deal.

If you are interested in taking a future WRFA course or are interested in helping as a "victim" in a future WFRA course, please contact your Scoutmaster.

Please congratulate the following Scouts who completed the course: Max D., Dawson D., Jack D., Collin F., Jack J., Turner M., Blake M., Inan S., Reyhan S., Brandon S., Ian T. A big thank you to Messrs. Carruth, Clark, Digan, Dinsmore, Francois, Johnson, Johnston, Mant and Turner for not only getting trained, by chaperoning the boys this weekend during training.

Troop Celebrates Spring COH

Posted on May 14 2013 - 1:35pm

Spring COH A Success!

The spring Court of Honor (COH) was held Monday, May 13th and was very well attended. Thank you to the Scouts and parents who supported our Scouts as they were recognized for their achievements. Austin F. earned his Scout badge; Spencer M. his Second Class; Collin B., Logan B. Riley B., Harry D., Luke E., Thomas H., Pete J., and David T., all earned their First Class; Will E. and Inan S. earned their Star; and James L. earned his Life badge.

Several Scouts earned a surprising number of Merit Badges for a pre-summer COH. Well done Scouts!! The Troop was also recognized by the Air Force Association's local chapter for our work with the flag program. We are up to nearly 100 flags! Mr. Mendelsohn deserves the credit for having built such an excellent program and way for our Scouts to show their good citizenship. The next COH will be after summer camp around the time we head back to school. Stay tuned.
