Scouting C.A.R.E.S visits the Naval Academy!

May 10, 2024 by Mickey Nemier

On May 2nd, Scouting C.A.R.E.S. Pack 2700 out of St. Francis Xavier in Southeast, D.C., took their end-of-the-year Scouting field trip to the United States Naval Academy. The students experienced a top university that’s also an active military establishment. The Scouts were lucky enough to participate in marching, naval jargon, and saluting exercises. They were also given a brief tour of the campus athletic facilities, which they absolutely loved. The highlight for Pack 2700 was getting the civilian boats to honk their horns, which sent the Scouts into a frenzy.

“This experience should have a lasting impact on Pack 2700,” commented Michael Fazio, Scouting C.A.R.E.S. Director.

The History & Archives Committee’s Scout History Reception and Museum Unveiling

May 7, 2024 by Mickey Nemier

On May 6th, 2024, The History & Archives Committee held a Scout History Reception at the Mariott Scout Service Center – unveiling a spectacular display of Scout Historic Memorabilia, the largest display ever at any Council Office! The History Committee strives to preserve and protect local and national Scouting History – to educate future generations about Scouting’s rich heritage and service and its many positive contributions to the community and the nation, whether it be through programs like H.O.S.T Hikes (History Of Scouting Trail), H.O.S.T.I.N.G (Helping Other Scout Troops Incorporate Needed Gear) or holding events like this reception!
Here are some photos from the museum:
    

A huge thanks to Michael Groover, the Vice-Chair & Master of Ceremonies, who worked very hard setting up all the displays, which definitely paid off.

It doesn’t end there because National Scout Families celebrities were also present!
These Guests of Honor include:
Ann Hornaday, granddaughter of William T. Hornaday, which the now Distinguished Service Conservation Award had been initially named after.
Charity Goodman, granddaughter of E. Urner Goodman, one of the founders of the Order of the Arrow.
Julia Seton, the granddaughter of Ernest Thompson Seton, donated 500 medals to start the History Award at NCAC.
Kellye French, Conservation Chairwoman and BSA trainer, donated a photo of the BSA Indie Car signed by its driver, Dale Coyne (As seen below).

Twinkie’s at the Church: Troop 1444 Camp-In Event

May 4, 2024 by Mickey Nemier

During the last weekend of April, Troop 1444 held a Camp-In Event at the Transfiguration Parish. Instead of setting up tents, the troops settled inside the church for the weekend, playing games and enjoying the interior!

For breakfast, the Troop enjoyed some fried Twinkies and later went on a nice hike. Events like these may be simple, but they stick with the Scouts, giving them a unique view of how Scouts can camp.

Troop 360 Attended NCAC Outdoor Ethics Guide Summit, Then Taught it to Pack 1166!

May 1, 2024 by Mickey Nemier

Inspired by the NCAC Outdoor Ethics Summit last month, Troop 360 Senior Patrol Leader Cam, Outdoor Ethics Guide Troy, and Den Chiefs Leigh and Tucker developed a program to teach outdoor ethics to Pack 1166. They started by training their fellow Den Chiefs, Anna and Evan. At the March Pack 1166 meeting, Troop 360 Scouts led the Cubs in learning hand motions for the Outdoor Code and hand motions for the Leave No Trace principles, then explained their meaning. Engaging games like “Camp Oh-No!“, “Surface Hopscotch” and “Trash Timeline” (learned from the Summit) reinforced the lessons in a fun way. Troop 360 further encouraged all Cub Scouts to pursue the NCAC Outdoor Ethics Awareness Award for Cubs. Bravo Troop 360 & Pack 1166!
