Hey, it’s Austin.

My project will be a water conservation/forest fire mitigation/habitat restoration effort. This will include ladder fuel clearing in almost 80 acres of forested land, and selective tree removal to restore vital beaver habitat along the tributaries to the North Catamount Reservoir. Both of these will help to protect the drinking water of over 100,000 people in Colorado Springs.

 I need volunteers over the course of two days, September 7th and 8th from 8:00am to 5:00pm.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided and refreshments will be available.

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.

Troop,

This week we will be having our Troop Elections. Make sure you prepare a 1-2 minute speech for the role you are running for and wear your uniform.

We will also be doing trip prep and meal planning for the Music Pass campout.

Nathan Turner will be giving a lesson to the Troop.

We need to make sure we have all the Merit Badges you have completed documented for the next COH. Please confirm with Mr. Petree so we can get any missing signatures figured out and pick up the correct patches from the scout shop.

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.

Troop,

We plan to meet in the church at the beginning of the meeting for fellowship and a slide show about Music Pass. Afterward, we can head outside to the barn and Jefferson will lead the troop in a lesson and game for his Communications Merit Badge.

Please return any borrowed items from the Wyoming trip. Things like harnesses, ice axes, helmets, belay devices, binoculars, poles, crampons, trax, or anything else.

Don’t forget to prepare for Troop Elections at our meeting on 8/13. Come prepared wearing your uniform and have a speech ready to go. Please let Mr. Petree know what position you are running for at this week’s meeting.

Finally, we have a lot of Scouts working on their Eagle Projects. Please be sure to sign up and support your fellow scouts.
