Thats' me with a Silver Beaver award - and a dirty camera lens!

1st Weekend at Wood Badge

I was asked to be on staff at the first Wood Badge course.  I showed up Wednesday morning.  There was a little snow to deal with.  I had a cabin at the fort and it was a great place!

To get to my Patrol cabin, we had to dig out the winter snow!

I had my own little Scouting display to spruce up the room.

I was asked to bring some Scouting items to display in the training lodge.  This is the first weekend items.

100 years of Scouting in the LDS Church.

... and more 100 years...

I only brought a few uniforms.

Great Salt Lake Council Tradoree May 2013

Meagan and Kevin surprised me by driving all the way down to Southtown to say goodbye as they were heading to Wisconsin for the summer.

Here's my spread in the back of the book cases.

Here's Mikel looking at my stuff.

Here's the corner of my display.  I had 4 booths.

Carson's District Awards Banquet

Well, I missed my Scouting District's award banquet this year, so I thought maybe I could offer my collection to Carson's recognition dinner.  Phil, the Stake Young Men's 2nd Counselor absolutely wanted to have me come.  I set up 3 1/2 tables, plus two bookcase displays.  A number of people enjoyed the collection.  They even fed us.  Jen came and helped take down the displays and enjoyed a great dinner.  Carson wasn't feeling really good and decided not to go camping with the troop to Bountiful Pond. 

Flags really add to the tables.

Someone enlightened me about Cedar Badge.  Cedar Badge is the name the Idaho council gives to their NYLT camp, which is conducted 2-3 times a year for each level of Scouting: Scouts, Varsity, Ventures.  I bought this flag in Pocatello last year, thus Cedar Badge.  I'm not sure why this flag ended up for sell, as Cedar Badge is still being conducted for Varsity Scouts.

They had more than enough food and space.  Too often, Scouters don't show up for this dinner and miss out on a good time and good food.  And it's FREE!!!!
