A Scout tells the truth. He is honest, and he keeps his promises. People can depend on him.

Our New District – “Big Cypress”
Posted in District News on June 26, 2008 | 6 Comments »
As of July first the Rising Star District will be no more. Apparently we grew so large that our Council SHAC divided us into three new districts.
I found out at the district meeting, our first, that I have the job as the Boy Scout Round Table Chairman or comminisher, something to that effect. Needless to say [...]
Wearing the Uniform
Posted in Gear Review, Ramblings on June 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I have more visits per day about the new Scout uniform than any other post. Apparently allot of people are wondering which uniform to wear after August, and families in our troop seem in a panic. The new centennial uniform is to celebrate 100 years of Scouting. I’ll most likely get one to wear for [...]
Anti Monkey Butt

I guess the name says it all. The company claims “for all those butt busting activities”. This is an anti friction powder that is good for biking, hiking driving etc. It is suppose to remove moisture and reduse friction, well you get the point. I guess if you do not want to end up with monkey butt, [...]
We Are Bridge Builders

To a chasm vast and wide and steep,
With waters rolling cold and deep.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him.
But he turned when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span [...]

Summer Camp at CIMA’s River Camp is over. All the boys had a great time and we couldn’t have asked for better weather even though it was HOT. We did have a few boys go home early due to injuries at Camp Patch-em Up, but everyone stayed hydrated. They say a picture says a thousand [...]

Tomorrow morning Troop 483 leaves for summer camp at El Rancho Cima in the Devils Backbone. We will be at the river camp with 32 Boy Scouts and 8 leaders. It should be a good week at camp. For at least 16 boys this will be their first long term camp, but I’m not worried about [...]
