 Webelos Woods - Sept 26-28, 2014

9/28/2014

Our September outing was at Camp Norse for Webelos Woods.  We hosted Webelos from Pack 13, who looked to have a great time joining in as future Boy Scouts with the Patrols.  They cooked, slept and hung out with the Boy Scouts, just like they will in a few months. 
Our guys did a great job showing them the ropes - quite literally.  The Troop ran a station, dubbed the "Deadly Flamingo River Crossing of Doom", which had participants use a lashed tripod and ropes to cross a river infested with deadly flamingos (you see, alligators were not easy to come across in late September,  It tested the Scouts skills in lashing and teamwork.  To our knowledge, no Scout was, actually, attacked by a deadly flamingo, but it was close for a few.

Flag Retirement Ceremony

9/20/2014

0 Comments

 
On September 20, 2014, Troop 17 held a flag retirement ceremony at Mansfield Municipal Airport.   This was the first time that we were able to use Eagle Scout Tim Elofson's project, a fire ring, for its intended purpose.  The Troop held a twilight ceremony, and retired over 650 flags.  We are very proud of our Scouts, who put together and performed the ceremony with great respect for the flags that they were retiring. 

Should you have any flags to retire for next year's ceremony, please drop them off in the Scout room at the Orthodox Congregational Church.

Congratulations to Ethan H., as he sealed his membership in the Order of the Arrow by completing the Brotherhood trail at the recent Tulpe Lodge Fall Ordeal.  As you can see, there were plenty of Troop 17 Arrowmen on-hand to give a little service and help along the way. 

Special recognition goes out to Ryan J., who did an excellent job as part of the C-team (ed. note: C stands for Ceremonies).  Thank you to the wonderful Arrowmen of the Great and Powerful Tulpe Nation for a great Fall Ordeal.  WWW
