National Jamboree - It is not too late for scouts and scouters to sign up for the 2010 Jamboree! 

Slots are still available at this time but will be gone soon.

Youth positions and Adult Staff positions are still available online and maybe accessed through www.MyScouting.org for non-BSA employees. They are no longer accepting applications for the Council Troop leaders with the exception of 3rd Assistant Scoutmasters who must be 18 but not reach their 21st birthday during the Jamboree. Applicants will need to use their BSA ID number or their Social Security number to access the application Web site. This application does not guarantee you a position for the jamboree, but does get you started on the process to be approved as a participant or staff member.

Please do not apply for any Scoutmaster positions unless you are under 21 and qualify for the third assistant position. All Adult troop positions have been filled.


For further information contact our Scoutmaster, Ted Vinson for more info.

Pictures Wanted!!

 

Have you taken pictures of our Troop this year? If so have you made a CD and got it to Tim Shannon? If the answers to those questions are in order, yes and no, please get busy. Your pictures are what goes onto this web site, but even more important they are what make up the Eagle DVD's.

 

Troop 204, over the last several years, has made a tradition of giving each Eagle Scout a DVD with pictures of all of the Troop activities spanning his tenure with the Troop. These DVD's will provide your Eagle with many fond memories of his friends and time with 204. But they will be incomplete without your help.

 

Mom's, are you considering or already started on a scrapbook for you Scout? If so you can get many images of your Scout from this library of 204 Scouting, just contact Tim Shannon.  Again, if the images are not there, I cannot make them available.

 

We are particularly lacking in pictures from the last half of this year. I need your help. Please make a
CD-ROM at full resolution of your images and get it to ASM Tim Shannon.

 

 


Cycling Merit Badge Update

 

 

On Saturday, December 6th, five Scouts working on the Cycling Merit Badge, started riding the Silver Comet Trail at the Alabama State Line (above) They were Peter L, Christian F, Andrew W, Austin D and Perry M. The temperature at the start of the ride was 28 degrees. Once we were riding, the wind chill factor dropped that to 10 degrees.

 

 

25 miles later, we stopped at Rockmart for lunch. Thru out the day, the Way-mobile provide SAG services including a lunch of hot chicken noodle soup at this and two other stops.

 

From here the riders continued on for another 25 miles, finishing at the Florence Road Trailhead. Total miles traveled: 50.44, total elapsed time: 6:22, actual pedal time: 4:14 giving a average of just over 11 miles per hour. This was the final ride marking an end to over 150 miles pedaled for this merit badge.

 

If you think you would like to take the Cycling Merit Badge in the Spring of 2009 and have questions, contact ASM Tim Shannon, ASM Michael French or Douglas Clark. Of course if you have no questions, see the Scoutmaster for a blue card and check in with the merit badge counselor.



Leader Training Opportunities

 

Be sure to take advantage of the on line leadership training opportunities. From the comfort of your home computer you can take Youth Protection Training, Boy Scout Leader Fast Start, Safety Afloat, Safe Swim Defense, Troop Committee Challenge and Hazardous Weather. Just go to http://olc.scouting.org .

 

Click on the course you want to take and log in to your account. After successfully completing the course, You can print out the completion card. Be sure to show this to James Olson so it can be entered in the Troop records.

 

If you do not already have an account, you will need to create one. For this you will need your account number from the front of your BSA membership card. If you don't have a membership card you need to get registered with the Troop. See Donna Vinson to get the forms, and pay your Scouter dues.

 

Remember every Scout deserves a trained leader!
