Well, our whole troop did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge last night. I unfortunately didn’t get to participate in it, but I did get some good videos of it. We challenged all other Blue Elk District troops to do it, and I hope they all do it. I could tell it was fun for the scouts that did it, it sure seemed that way on the videos.

As you all know, I joined the Lone Star staff this year. All I can say is wow. It’s amazing being on staff, and meeting life long friends. If you would like to know more, talk to me in person or join the staff with me and hang on for the ride. It was great, and I encourage all of you to join staff, even if it’s only for 1 year.

This summer I was fortunate to be selected to serve as a Parry Lodge Commissioner. Not for 1 session, but 2. Troop 282 is blessed with several who have faithfully served their Bartle Reservation as full time staff members, and this year was no exception. The difference for me was that I completed my 3rd session of staff service and finally received my staff coups. A highlight for me because the first session I served on staff was as a Lone Star Campsite Commissioner in 1993! You are never too old to serve your beloved reservation.
