TOTEMS Update,
Our Beaver Patrol Totem has now been designed, and we have been given
the materials to complete our own Pocket Piece. The Final Design has been
photographed, and will be sent to all of us within the next day so we can get
to work. We will also post the final design on the Web Site for all to view.
We are expected to have our individual Pocket Piece Totems completed by the
next Patrol Meeting, only items needed are an X-Acto Knife, Flat Head and
Phillips Screw Driver. Each member shouldn't have to take more than an hour
or so to complete their Pocket Pieces. Members Initials are to be stamped on
back.
***************************************************
Friday Night is the Scheduled Troop 1 Campfire.
John will be contacting the Eagles PL with our request to open with the
Campfire Ashes Ceremony you received this weekend, as well as for them to
schedule us for a Song later during the Program. We "just" found the perfect
Song, and will propose it to the Eagles. (We've already copied the Song
into MS Word, enlarged the type for those of us sight deficient, and will try
to make enough copies for the Audience)
All are requested to bring an empty Film Canister to carry the Ashes in. It
would be nice if we could get about 50 empty film canisters for the entire
troop. Our plan was to provide each patrol with a "Zip-Loc Bag" of Ashes for
them to divide for each of their members. However, if we could get enough
Film canisters. . . . . . . . . . . We will try to make the Campfire List of
1330 Campfires available on the Web Site immediately following the weekend for
everyone to download.
*****************************************************
Sunday Scouters Own Worship Services:
Word is that all the Chaplains were "relieved" to get our Chaplains Aide
Booklet available on our Web Site. Glad we could help. The Beavers Patrol
will be doing the Scout Law "Kum-By-Yah" song to close the Service.
**************************************************
Ticket Discussion:
We talked candidly about the expectations, ideas available for our Tickets.
There are a lot of ideas, and everyone was sent a post we received from fellow
members of the Scouts-L E-mail List this weekend. It was also discussed that
we have the "Authority to Change" if at first we don't succeed. . . . . Time
Average is 1 year, however, many have been done with their ticket in 6
months. With the Extreme being 30 Days. Personally speaking, I have such a
busy Troop Program that I'm shooting for earlier.
Presentation is done by our Troop 1 Scoutmaster Bob Fagan, Troop Guide Ross,
and Ticket Counselor. With having our Beaver Patrol members in attendance as
an "Option." Right then and there, we all agreed
that we would like to be a part of all our Beavers Presentations, and will
plan to do so. "All for one, and One for ALL!"
**************************************************
NE-111-162 Beaver Patrol Flag
Just prior to leaving, I asked a question as to whether we could create our
own "Beaver Patrol" Flag, and our Troop Guide said "Yes by all means."
Soooooo, I'm in the process of designing, and will forward the design to
everyone, then go ahead and create prior to our Next Patrol Meeting.
***************************************************
And that's all the news for now. I've got to get to work on my Totem, the
Patrol Flag, getting this on the Web, and the Friendship Gifts. See you all
in two weeks.
Respectfully Submitted,
Yours in Scouting Spirit,
John
