Troop,
Our next trip is a backpacking campout in Music Pass just south of Westcliffe, CO and the Crestone Mountains. We will meet at the barn Friday at 5pm and drive to Music Pass. We need 4×4 vehicles to access the parking lot so we will probably need to carpool. We will plan to car camp at the parking lot which is really pretty and has plenty of nice camping options for Friday night. On Saturday, we can pack up and hike up and over Music Pass into the valley. The hike is about 2.2 miles depending on where we decide to camp. There are short day hike options to lakes or shorter peaks in the area.

We plan to return to the barn by noon on Sunday. We’re also looking for more adult supervision.

Sign up if you are planning to attend.

Hi, this is John.  I am building 3 information kiosk for 3 lakes on USAFA and working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The kiosk will be assembled before and transported to Ice Lake on USAFA the morning of September 8th. We will meet at Ice Lake at 9am for a safety briefing and install the first kiosk.  Your driver only needs a drivers license to get on base. The second will be at Deadman’s Lake and the third at Kettle Lake #1. We should be done by 1pm. We can help with transportation if needed. Please bring gloves. Safety glasses will be provided. Lunch, drinks and snacks will also be provided. If you have any more questions please call me at 719-757-8251. Thank you for signing up to help me with my Eagle Project.

Good afternoon scouts,

As you may know, I am working on my Eagle Project, which requires volunteers. My project will be at Westside Cares in Old Colorado City, which recently had a water leak in the basement, so some drywall under the stairs was damaged. We will cut out the damaged drywall, install new drywall there and on an additional wall, and build shelves where there were none before.

I need four scout volunteers to help me out. It will be great community service hours, which you will need for ranking up, and it will be a great experience to see what an Eagle Project looks like in action. If you are going, please bring work gloves, close-toed shoes, a water bottle, and safety glasses. I will provide masks, pizza for lunch, snacks, and some Gatorade. We will be starting a debrief at 8 am at Westside Cares, and finishing around 4 pm. If you can only show up for a half day, that is fine, just let me know at mileskunkle2@gmail.com.

If you have any questions, just email me or ask at a meeting.

Thank you,
Miles Kunkle
