Tues Apr 8, Troop Meeting Highlights:
A presention was given by the Order Of The Arrow and membership elections were held.
Our scouts elected Dillon, apparently being PL of the largest patrol proved an advantage in the vote count!
Congratulations Dillon and you thought the NSP was the ordeal! ...
Tonight, eight scouts and seven adults successfully completed the American Heart Association CPR course taught
by Robert Leuci, Deputy Fire Chief of the Windham Fire Department ...
Several new scouts earned their Firem'm Chit and Totin' Chip awards this weekend. Thanks to Mr. Rubacky and
Mr. Wiik for teaching these safety courses... And this weekend's hard work paid off, as the Frozen Fire Patrol earned BOTH the Campout Golden Shovel AND the Golden Frying Pan.
But the BIGGEST news of the night, John earned Scout badge (a round of applause) and now wears the Troop 19 baseball hat ...Well done all.

25 Scouts Battled Rain, Cold in Patrol Competition
We had 25 Scouts attend this past weekend at Camp Carpenter.
The troop and 4 patrols did extremely well in battling the weather elements on Friday and early Saturday.
Rain and drizzle and just plain cold temperatures did not slow us down.
The scouts set up camp in the dark and were well prepared with the proper clothing and footwear.
We had a full day of activities on Saturday. The patrols did an outstanding job with breakfast and
prepared a good variety of food including; bacon and eggs, sausages, chocolate chip pancakes.
Additional activities in the morning were focused on knife and hatchet safety, compass skills,
shelter building and a kaber toss.
By midday, the snow-covered camp road turned to slush so deep that vehicles were
getting stuck. Frozen Fire Patrol re-enacted the building of the Transcontinental Railroad -
half the patrol digging from the west and the other half from the east. The road was passable in time for lunch.
The afternoon included a fire building competition and then it was time
for the cooking competition. All of the patrols did well in their menu planning and cooking.
We had some outstanding food cooked this past weekend. Not many scout troops go beyond hot dogs/beans and spaghetti! You should all be proud of your efforts in cooking some exceptional food.
Be sure to tell your friends at school that you cooked steak in the outdoors this past weekend! - Greg Anthony
And the results...
