Troop 1910 of Keller, TX is chartered by the Golden Triangle Rotary Club. We invite you to join us at a weekly Troop meeting held each Monday at 6:30 pm in the Family Life Center of Keller United Methodist Church at 1025 Johnson Road in Keller.
Just a reminder that John Kuehn is collecting names and deposits of those who would like to attend Philmont with the Troop in 2021.
The date is June 12-24, 2021.
Non-refundable deposits need to be in by March 31, 2020. Your scout must be 13 1/2 and completed the 8th grade by the time we arrive at Philmont or age 14+.
Total cost will be $1,350 broken into three additional payments of $500, $500 and $350.
Please note, there is a section that deals with health issues. Philmont is strict when it comes to height and weight requirements in order to attend. If you have questions or concerns about this please review the website to see what Philmont expects of its participants.
Chisholm Trail is a unique and unforgettable high adventure, the first of many for most scouts. While most High Adventure experiences require a scout to be 14, those who are 12 and have completed the 7th grade or 13 years old (by June) and older may attend Chisholm Trail.
At Chisholm Trail, we get a pontoon boat for a week, do six high adventure outposts, and cool off with watersports all afternoon every day! The outposts could have us fighting in living history battles, tubing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, jumping on the blob, and more!
For more information, check out the Chisholm Trail experience HERE.
Chisholm Trail 2020 deposits of $100 per person are due to Bob Morgan.
Potential dates:
June 7-13 (note that these dates conflict with Northern Tier)
or
June 28 – July 4 (the week after Summer Camp)
The date selected will depend on most participants’ availability.
While Northern Tier is a minimum age of 14, it is not expected to be a huge conflict in that regard, as Chisholm Trail is typically utilized as an introduction to High Adventure camping. We need to register ASAP, so please check out the info at the link above and let us know!
Scout Accounts may be used for such purpose of course. Total cost estimated at $430 per participant and adults are $400. We need to reserve our boat(s) now, and # seats per boat is limited, so need an accurate count of attendees at this time, i.e. please don’t commit if you aren’t sure that you can attend.
Parents should attend Troop meeting to discuss Chisholm Trail options with Bob Morgan. Currently, have RSVP’s for A. James, F. Cook, and M. Warren, but need at least 2 adults to lead and a few more adults and boys to reserve a 9-person boat for the camp ASAP.
Saturday, February 29 at 2pm is our Crossover event at Hills & Hollows where all incoming Arrow of Light Scouts transition from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. This event will be immediately following the ILST.
We need adult and Scout help beyond those attending/helping with ILST!
February 28-29 (Friday/Saturday) will be an ILST (Introduction to Leadership Skills Training) campout at Hills & Hollows and is intended for any Scout interested in holding an elected/leadership position in Troop 1910 for the upcoming 3/23 elections.
ILST is required for the Senior Patrol Leader ("SPL") team, in addition to NYLT/Twin Arrows training.
Troop Meeting tonight in the FLC (Family Life Center) at 7pm
If you were a grubmaster on the February 7-9 campout, please be sure to bring your cooler and tote back clean and dry. Scout Saver Cards (previously called Camp Cards) fundraiser has begun, and Mr. Christopher Franklin will have cards available at this and upcoming meetings for those wishing to participate – for more information on this new fundraiser, please visit: https://www.longhorncouncil.org/home/support-scouting/scout-saver-fundraiser/ Couple differences from Camp Cards are that this new fundraiser has an online application allowing use across the country via local and national discounts. Also, the cards will sell for $10, with $5 going into Scout Accounts (similar to past years), but non-sold cards may not be returned for free – you must pay $2 per un-sold card. So, while we encourage participation, do be mindful of how many cards you check out.
This is an opportunity for Scouts to visit inspiring locations from Amarillo to Santa Fe, while earning their denominations religious award and qualifying for several international awards programs, including the Religious Knot Award, International Spirit Award and the Messenger of Peace Award.
125% of program results are routinely achieved because they don't cook or camp.
Scouts must be First Class and age 12 by June 18, 2020 but if their parent also attends, a younger Scout will be accepted.
Cost is $280
Attendance is limited to 50 Scouts. There are only 21 seats left, so don’t wait if you're interested. Deposit information is on the flyer linked above.
