Scoutmaster Minute: Another busy Scouting week..one more Eagle project completed, which includeded a photo bomb by Teddy the pony. LOL. Over 30 Scouts stopped by the activitity field to participate in Jamborree on the Air. They made contact with Scouts on the air in Canada, Ohio, New York, Michigan, Arlington, and Camp Snyder. Last week was all about public health and I hope the boys learned a few things along with reminders of key water and food safety measures for camping. Up coming meetings will be focused on preperation for the Wiliderness Survival themed Mission Impossible campout.
