Webelos Klondike
Pack 29 from Yonkers participated in the Muscoot District's Cub Scout
Klondike Derby held last month at Ward Pound Ridge. The out of district event
was both fun and competitive for the scouts. The sled of 4 "Trailblazers"
demonstrated outdoor skills, teamwork and Scout spirit despite the cold
conditions and being the Pack's first winter outdoor competition. All the scouts
enjoyed the day and received a taste of what to look forward to as they
crossover into Boy Scouts.
Great job Webelos!

Spring Camporee
For the 2008 Muscoot District Spring Camporee, not only did we travel out of
district, we traveled out of state! About 150 Scouts from New York and
Connecticut made the journey to Thomaston to visit the Railroad Museum of New
England and take a ride on the scenic Naugatuck Railroad. Railroading was the
theme for the weekend event, developed by Otto Vondrak, a volunteer at both RMNE
and the Westchester-Putnam Council BSA… (to read more please visit

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 cowanscouter gmail.com
or our District Executive Zack Swierat at zswierat.
