Mr. Argueta and I put together a meal plan which is both traditional in its approach to Scouting and a good set of fun challenges for our Scouts! Read on and enjoy! :) There are some changes to the logistics and meal planning for the Annapolis trip this year that are designed to provide more planning and teamwork among the members of each patrol, and more leadership, responsibility and skill development for every Scout in the Troop. Our stops this year will be a bit different on the way down as well, with a rest room/gas stop before we leave the end of the NJ Turnpike and a lunch stop at the Maryland Welcome Center on US 301 to eat our bag lunches. On Sunday, if the weather is good, we plan to take a tour of the Academy, though we can always go to Ft. McHenry, as either tour is free on the MLK Holiday weekend. That decision can be made based on weather, Mass schedule, etc. during the weekend. Food plan for Annapolis trip Patrol Leaders and the members of their Patrol will need to plan for this. Everything will checked in the parking lot AT 7:00 AM, BEFORE we leave to ensure that everyone is ready to go. DO NOT PLAN TO GO TO 7-11 after 7:00 AM as that is our time to get things done as a Troop. Friday Breakfast 7:00 AM DEPARTING St. John's in Bergenfield at 7:30 AM - EAT AT HOME, NOT 7-11. Friday Lunch - Bring your own sandwich, drinks and snacks We will eat in the welcome center on US 301 in Maryland. Friday Diner - Warming up premade patrol meal by patrols make your own menu and cook it before trip during that week. Freeze food to be warmed up on diner time at camp site on Friday. Patrols should meet in advance at the home of the PL or QM to cook it . Saturday Breakfast - Quick, no cook meal Provided by Troop. bagels, butter, cream cheese, peanut butter , jelly , juice and or hot cocoa Saturday Lunch - Provided by NESA at the Annapolis Naval Academy Saturday Dinner - Pizza Provided by Troop at local neighborhood pizzeria. Sunday Breakfast - By patrols, keep it simple Each patrol will bring their own instant oatmeal, juice and or hot cocoa Sunday Lunch - Buy on road Coming back from MD to NJ each Scout bring $10 for lunch stop Yours in Scouting, Gordon Beattie, SM Frank Argueta, ASM From W2TTT at ATT.NET Sun Dec 14 23:35:50 2014 From: W2TTT at ATT.NET (J.

Just wondering.everyone I know in the last 30 years here in the U. S. has had an MMR vaccine which immunizes a person from the Mumps. Recently, there has been a multi-team outbreak of Mumps among NHL hockey players which made me wonder whether there was something missing in the Canadian, European or U. S. healthcare systems. Almost all of these players are under the age of 30, so perhaps someone would like to find out their country and state or province of origin correlates to their having Mumps. I may be wrong, but my memory suggests these players all seem to be Canadian, but it would be only reasonable to check before drawing conclusions. For reference, the NHL players are roughly 30%, Canadian, 30% European and 30% American. With the background information in hand, it would be interesting to see if we can draw some conclusions about the healthcare that these folks have received from the healthcare systems of their respective homelands. It is particularly interesting, in that the training and associated healthcare given to their world-class athletes is among the best in the world. In no way, could they have gotten to their level of performance without excellent nutrition and medical care, so one wonders how could they have Mumps? Here is the list for anyone interested in researching this topic? Sidney Crosby Corey Perry Francois Beauchemin Clayton Stoner Emerson Eten Ryan Suter Keith Ballard Marco Scandella Jonas Brodin Christian Folin Tanner Glass Travis Zajak Adam Larsson Another follow-up point is to look at the distribution of players on their respective teams and to see if you can come up with a risk score for those of similar background, also taking into account the age of the personnel of the team. From there one might want to extrapolate that to the risk for the populations of their respective countries of origin and try to estimate the number of "at risk" people in their populations. Any takers? This would be a good adjunct to Citizen in the Nation, Citizen in the World and Public Health Merit Badges. Yours in Scouting!

Message-ID: <90055C558EAE76459A6494C68D9CBACC1DD02389@MISOUT7MSGUSRCB.ITServices.sbc.com> Hi Folks! There is an excellent opportunity to have some advanced adult leadership training in Scouting, that will have a much greater impact on your life than simply in Scouting. Wood Badge is a two weekend, plus some additional time training experience that will transform your mode of interaction with your children, your other family members, colleagues at work and in other aspects of your life. I would strongly suggest that you participate. There is a requirement to have completed the SM/ASM training before taking this course and many of our parents have that pre-requisite. Enclosed is the link for more information. One aspect of the course, is that if you sign up before the end of the year, you can request financial support from the Scout Council. I would also suggest that we consider subsidizing the adults committed to taking the course, as it will produce valuable benefits to the Troop. Here is the link: http://training.ppbsa.org/adult/woodbadge/ In past, our Troop had a significant number of Wood Badge trained adults. Most have moved on to other activities, but even many of those folks do things quietly in the background for the Troop, District and Council to benefit our boys and others. Currently, Nancy and I are the only two adult members of the Troop with Wood Badge training and it would be great to have more! Please consider signing up before the end of the year.

First, I would like to thank the Scouts and families of the Troop for the nice card and present at the Court of Honor this past Tuesday. It is truly a pleasure to serve as the Scoutmaster of this Troop! :) Second, a number of parents and Scouts have inquired about some of the details related to equipment selection for Scouting in Troop 139. The first thing to remember is that everything should be purchased in the order of need, vs. want. Second, every Scout wants everything and now! They need to adjust and earn it by showing commitment over time. Third, once the expense has been made, the parents need to require that their sons not waste the investment of both money on the equipment and time in Scouting and keep with the program. Finally, there are some technical elements that can make a significant difference in a Scout's experience if they have the right gear, and conversely, a significant difference (read: they can be miserable) if they have the wrong gear. :) These notes are designed to help Scouts and parents alike in their choice of equipment. It should be noted, that Mrs. Valencia has a really nice equipment chart which will be resent soon, but these notes are designed to emphasize key points and explain the items on the chart a bit more. 1. Sleeping bags - generally if a Scout only has one, it should be a -10 degree F bag. No down, some form of synthetic is best. It should also be a "mummy" bag. The outside of the bag should not be cotton, but some form of synthetic. They generally run around $100 or so. Don't let the salesman sell you something for a warmer temperature. They can always get a 30 degree F summer bag for $40 later when they go backpacking. 2. There needs to be a compression stuff bag to carry it on his backpack in a compact manner. Waterproofing can be either a garbage bag inside the stuff bag or a dry bag which can get pricy. Once home, the sleeping bag should be hung up in a closet and not compressed between trips. NEVER wash a sleeping bag without calling Mr. Beattie first. There is special handling required. It is not like a household quilt. 3. The Scout should have a foam or Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad for underneath the sleeping bag to keep the Scout warm, dry and comfortable. 4. Rain gear should be a nylon jacket and pants. NEVER plastic or rubber. 5. Boots should be Gore-Tex to keep feet dry. 6. Winter hats should be wooly and loose enough to not compress the head, especially at night when sleeping. 7. Fleeces can be layered for warmth as the temperature changes. Cotton against the body will create wet and cold bodies which will get hypothermic creating a dangerous health issue. No cotton t-shirts or socks in particular. 8. Winter gloves should never wooly, but water resistant. 9. The water bottle can be anything from home initially, but 32 oz Nalgene bottles are the best. No canteens, wine skins or metal bottles where we can't see the content level or cleanliness of the insides. Later on we can discuss water bladders for the older Scouts. 10. A pocket knife is OK, but a multitool is better. Look for sales online. Leatherman and Gerber are best, but anything of that quality is fine. 11. A small 5x7 tarp is always a good idea for inside or under the tent to keep your gear dry should there be a leak. 12. Tents should be as follows: 7000-series aluminum poles and full fly to the ground ALL the way around. A tent can be bought later when funds allow and commitment is secure on the part of the Scout. 13. Tent stakes should be small aluminum V or Y stakes and not plastic, wooden or heavy steel. 14. Dry bags are wonderful for keeping gear dry, but 1 and 2 gallon zip lock bags and garbage bags work just fine. 15. Backpacks should be of a frame type with adjustable room to grow. Pockets help the Scout stay organized. 16. Straps are used to put things onto a pack. WE NEVER USE BUNGIES - NEVER! This is a SAFETY issue. Sources online, Wal-mart, Kmart, Target and of course the local camping places including Campmor, REI, L. L. Bean, etc. are all fine, but look in all sorts of places and you'll find deals if you follow these basic ideas. If you have any questions, please give me a call. Merry Christmas!

So far we have Mrs. Valencia, Mr. Argueta, Mr. Elder, Mr. & Mrs. Fajardo, Giancarlo, Bryan, Brendan, Justin, Justin, Kofi, Kojo, Sam, Carmelo, ? Please be on time! On Friday, December 26th, we will be gathering in the Church basement at 8:00 AM to review the question pool before the test at 7:00 PM. All are welcome, even if they were not in our earlier weekly class. Weekly class attendees should plan to attend as well in order to get a final review before the test. Bring a sack lunch, snacks and beverages. We will order pizza for supper. There is no charge for our Scouts or members of their families. We would like a donation of $20 for the day from others in order to subsidize the efforts of our Troop. For the test, you will need $15 cash, your SSN and a form of ID. The testing fee is established by the Federal Communications Commission and not by the Bergen Amateur Radio Association Test Team. If you need practice questions, go to www.qrz.com and then select the Resources tab which will reveal a Practice Exam selection. Follow that and take the Technician License practice tests a few times in preparation for the class.
