Webelos Klondike, 1/26/2008
Webelos Klondike, Feb. 24, 2007


Boy Scout Klondike
Thanks to the dedication of the volunteers, over 200 dedicated Scouts and some well done lashings, the 2008 Muscoot Boy Scout Klondike was one of the best attended events of the year. Challenged in their leadership skills, resourcefulness and training, boys raced across Ward Pound Ridge to compete in challenges ranging from fire building, first aide and signaling. By the end of the day, the event showed the values of Scouting in action. 

 


Webelos Klondike
Held January 26, 2008

The results of the Cub Klondike are in! The notable units are as follows;

· Vista 101 Den 3 – Most Creative Sled

· Somers 11 Den 2 – Best Time

· Mahopac 371 Den 2 – Perfect Score in Teamwork and Scout Spirit

Also a special congratulation to Brewster 119 Dens 1, 7 and 9. They had the highest score and are now the keepers of the Klondike Pole. This is the third year that Brewster Pack 119 has won the Klondike derby. All of the units who participated showed a tremendous amount of determination, Scout Spirit and ingenuity while they tackled the challenges. A special thanks to all who participated and all of the volunteers who made the Klondike possible.

Conservation Resource Guide
Conservation is a basic part of the BSA mission. Scouting embraces Leave No Trace, requires conservation-related activities for rank advancement, and encourages conservation service projects to the community. The new Conservation Resource Guide identifies Westchester-Putnam agencies engaged in nature and conservation activities. Organized by District, the Guide is intended to enable ‘one-stop’ access for any Westchester-Putnam Scouts and Scouters seeking sites for troop conservation projects, nature-related advancements, or outdoor activities (including William Hornaday Award, Leave No Trace Award, Boy Scout Rank Advancement Nature Requirements, and Eagle Service Projects).

 


Muscoot Advancement
At every Roundtable meeting, our advancement committee will be available for Life Scouts who are going for the rank of Eagle. If your unit has any Life Scouts that have questions or are preparing an Eagle project, please feel free to come to a Roundtable and ask our District Advancement Committee for advice. Our District Advancement Chair is Tony West. Also, please be aware that all Life Scouts going for the rank of Eagle must have their records checked against the Council records BEFORE YOUR BOARD OF REVIEW. You must make an appointment with the Council Registrar to check these records. This can be done by calling the Council office at (914) 773-1135 x232.

 


"Every Boy Deserves A Trained Leader"
This is the guiding principle for our District adult leader training team. There is no doubt that a trained leader is better prepared to offer the best possible programs for youth members in their unit. The Muscoot District is committed to train more leaders to bring higher quality to our Scouting program. Please review our district calendar for training dates. It you have any questions concerning training, please contact Conrad Cowan at cowanscoutergmail.com or our District Executive Zack Swierat at zswierat.

 


Roundtables and District Meetings
A roundtable is a monthly district meeting for all leaders. Muscoot's monthly district Roundtables for all leaders are held on the first Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at Somers Middle School cafeteria (on lowest level). At these Roundtables you will get the latest info about upcoming events, tips about monthly themes, share ideas with your fellow leaders, success stories. If you attend these meetings already, please share with the other leaders in your unit how valuable these meeting are.

The District Committee meets the third Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the Somers Intermediate School.

The District Commissioners meet the third Thursday of the month at 8 p.m. at the Somers Intermediate School.
