My name is Paul Cleverdon. I'm an ASM with troop 770 and the leader of our Philmont trek this summer. I currently have two openings for our trip that I've been having difficulty filling. These slots could be filled with two scouts or a scout and an adult. Our dates are June 10-22, and this year's cost is $620. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on ways to fill these two openings. We thought there would be plenty of demand from w/in our troop but it hasn't panned out. Below is my contact if. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and assistance.

Greetings Scouts, Scouters, and Parents,
Tomorrow night is Patrol Leaders Council (PLC), Monday March 15. Regular time. This is not a regular troop meeting. It is attended by the PLC only, which is SPL, ASPLs, PLs (or APL is PL cannot attend), and Scribe must attend. Webmaster should attend if there are suggestions/comments on the website to pass along to the PLC. The outgoing PLC must attend. I am asking, however, that the incoming PLC also attend and observe. Mr. S will be overseeing the meeting in my absence.
Junior Leader Training, Saturday March 20. 9 am to 12 noon, Lower Fellowship Hall, ELC. Required for all outgoing and incoming position holders. Outgoing train incoming position holders. Class A's please. Please see Andy W if you have questions or concerns about the election results. Results are posted to the secure website here.
Timberline District Roundtable scheduled for April 1 has been rescheduled to April 8. The calendar will be updated once I can figure out how to change a recurring event. At this Roundtable, they will be holding Merit Badge Counselor training. This training is now required of ALL merit badge counselors. This will be a great opportunity for 737’s MB counselors to get the training and to get an introduction to Roundable. Car-pool. Also that night at Roundtable they'll be holding a session on “Life to Eagle.” It’s designed for both the L2E advisor in the troop, and for all Life Scouts.
April 5 Troop meeting will be at the Alpine Search and Rescue Center in Evergreen. You will need to go there for the meeting, not ELC. Regular time. See the website calendar for details.
Emergency Prep Merit Badge - Emergency Response Planning. The troop will be holding a search and rescue night to satisfy the 8a and 8b requirements. Let me know if you need these and stay tuned - we'll be planning the event at the next PLC.
Summer Camp Parents - I'm sure you saw the email from Mr. Johnson about summer camp. Island Park in Idaho is full, we have 20 scouts signed up with one on a waiting list. However as of right now we only have one adult signed up, and with twenty boys we will need at least three but preferably four adults to be at camp for the week in order to keep the two deep adult leadership that is required. This does not include drivers to and from camp, depending on the number of seats that the adults who are staying have plus the gear they will be taking. If we do not get enough parents to stay for the week we will have to cancel this camp, so if your boy or boys are going please consider spending the week with them. We would like to get the adults signed up as soon as possible before we have to start making payments, so please check your schedules. Peaceful Valley - as of right now we have room for more scouts, however we do not have any adults signed up to attend camp. With the current number of boys going we need at least three adults to stay for the week, more as the number of boys goes up. If you can only stay for part of the week please let us know. The number of drivers we need will be verified later. Please check your schedules and sign up. We would like to have at least half of the money for camp to be paid by the end of the month.
Troop Email - As you all now know, we ported our mass email server to GoogleGroups. You shouol have received several emails last week to this effect. The our safety, we won't be including the details of this effort to the announcements page.
This email group will continue to be used for last-minute notifications (i.e. cancelled events due to weather), as well as other important communications around troop activities. Make sure you frequently check the Troop web site at www.themountaintroop.com for a full list of announcements, calendar of events, and other resources and information.
Webelos Crossovers - Mr. Kerber is arranging the crossovers and will have a sign up book at the meeting. The goal would be to have a minimum of 4 scouts and two adults for each crossover. Den Chiefs must attend to receive credit for the position for advancement. Scheduled crossovers are:
Pack 400: Wed Feb 17 6:30 (Mountain High Christian Center; the church across 285 from Intercanyon Fire Station)
Pack 50: Thursday Feb 18 6:00pm (Evergreen High School cafeteria)

Cub Scout Pack 285 has been in existence for over 18 years serving the mountain-area community. However, we currently have very little visual history of previous Scouts, activities and events.
I am looking to complete the first Cub Scout Pack 285 scrapbook to help preserve the history of this Pack.
1. With your help, we are hoping to get photos or newsletters from all the previous years to add to what will be an ongoing scrapbook preserving Pack 285s history.
- If you have anything of the like that you could donate we would be greatly appreciative.
- If you have the capability of scanning old photos and donating a digital copy that would be superb.
- If you have photos that you want returned - we will scan them - and make sure you receive your photos back.
2. We are also hoping to find out how many Cub Scouts that came through our Pack advanced and completed their Eagle Scout. (Denver Area Council does not track this.... I tried).
3. If you have any personal anecdotes of your memories with Pack 285 we would love to include those too in the scrapbook.
With many thanks for your consideration and time.
Looking forward to chatting with you.
Please pass on this call to other previous Pack 285ers that you know.

Greetings Scouts, Scouters, and Parents,
Tomorrow night is Advancement and Election Signup. Mr. McLean will be working with Scout, Tenderfoot, and Second Class Scouts on Trail to First Class. Bring your books. All scouts NOT participating in a merit badge will need to assist with Trail to First Class. Election sign ups will also be out. Make sure you sign up for a leadership position. Troop Webmaster and Leave No Trace trainer are two new leadership positions. We will hold elections at the meeting on March 1.
Quinzee Campout, March 12-14. SMIC is Mr. Trower. The last day to sign up for this camp is next Monday, February 22. So, please talk this over with your parents and get yourself signed up this Monday. Any scout or adult that has winter camp training is encouraged to come! This is NOT High Adventure, so any scout can attend as long as he has completed Winter Camp Training or OKPIK.
A Note on Trail to First Class. ALL scouts that are not yet First Class should be focusing on Trail to First Class at advancement meetings and at Summer Camps. Trail to First Class is a program that helps new scouts work on and complete rank advancement requirements toward First Class rank. That includes all requirements for the ranks of Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class. We urge all scouts to achieve the rank of First Class within the first year of scouting. Our Trail to First Class Coordinator is Mr. McLean, but any First Class or higher rank scout can sign off on these requirements.
New Eagle Scout. A super special congratulations to Eric, our newest Eagle Scout. Great job Eric!! Hooooa!
Klondike Weekend. This weekend was the Klondike Campout at Golden Gate. A great time. Good snow and the Klondike Trail events were a blast. According to our thermometer, it reached 0 degrees last night! Piece of cake. Look for photos on the site soon.
2010 Rank Requirement Changes. Remember that several rank requirement changes took effect on January 1, 2010 (listed below). Make sure you have these completed, even if you started the rank requirements before 2010. For your reference, I have added a new page to the site titled Rank Advancement.
-
Tenderfoot - A Scout must teach another person how to tie a square knot using the EDGE model (explain, demonstrate, guide, and enable). He must also be able to discuss four specific examples of how he lived the points of the Scout Law in his daily life.
-
Second Class - A Scout must discuss the principles of Leave No Trace and explain the factors to consider when choosing a patrol site and where to pitch a tent. He must explain what respect is due the flag of the United States. He must again discuss four examples of how he lived four different points of the Scout Law in his daily life. He must earn an amount of money agreed upon by the Scout and his parents and save at least 50 percent of it.
-
First Class - An additional requirement to the 10 separate troop/patrol activities states he must demonstrate the principles of Leave No Trace on these outings. He must discuss four more examples of how he lived the remaining four points of the Scout Law in his daily life.
-
Life - A Scout must use the EDGE model to teach a younger Scout a specified skill.
Webelos Crossovers. Mr. Kerber is arranging the crossovers and will have a sign up book at the Monday meeting. The goal would be to have a minimum of 4 scouts and two adults for each crossover. Den Chiefs must attend to receive credit for the position for advancement. Scheduled crossovers are:

Greetings Scouts, Scouters, and Parents,
Patrol Leader's Council Tomorrow Night. Tomorrow night is Patrol Leader's Council. This is not a regular troop meeting. Those required to attend include the SPL, the ASPLs, PL or their APLs, Scribe and Webmaster.
Scout Sunday. Thanks everyone who attended Scout Sunday at ELC, did all the planning, and brought the wonderful cakes. Next time, though, I want to see us FILL the church. Imagine all our scouts with all our scouters and parents attending the Scout Sunday service. What message would that send?
Webelos Crossovers. It is that time of the year. Mr. Kerber is arranging the crossovers and will have a sign up book at the Monday meeting. The goal would be to have a minimum of 4 scouts and two adults for each crossover. Den Chiefs must attend to receive credit for the position for advancement. Scheduled crossovers are:
-
Pack 50: Thursday Feb 18 6:00pm (Evergreen High School cafeteria)
-
Pack 285: Friday Feb 19th 6:30pm (Shepherd of the Rockies Lutheran Church - 106 Rosalie Rd, Bailey)Pack 39: Tuesday Feb 23 6:30pm (Sanctuary Room of the Conference Baptist Church 27154 North Turkey Creek Road, Evergreen
Parent Pickups. I need to make a point to the parents about something that occurs enough to warrant mention. Please make every effort to pick up your scout on time after meetings and at the end of outings. When you're late, we have to stay late with your son, which is an inconvenience to our volunteers. For troop meetings, show up at 8 and join Circle - it is for scouts AND PARENTS. For outings, the meeting time back at ELC is 1 pm Sunday, although arrival times change, so be near a phone, expect a call, and be flexible (plus or minus 2 hours). Thanks.
Automobile Maintenance Merit Badge. Mr. Riley and Mr. Wagenhals will be pulling an engine and replacing the crank shaft. The project is 2-3 weeks out, but if you are interested in participating, it will go a long way toward your Automotive Maintenance Merit Badge. Contact Mr. Riley.
