The Senior Scouts are invited to attend an outing to the Mountains of North Carolina.  We will leave the church at 8:00am on Saturday and drive to a farm in Laurel Springs NC.  This trip is a "Fun" trip and will consist of Outdoor Gams, Hiking, and comraderie.  At night we will watch movies play video games and enjoy a nice fire.  We will be back by 2:00pm on Sunday...

Plan ahead now, so that you can participate in Leader Specific training at the Scout Office on February 18 and Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills at Cherokee Scout Reservation on March 16-18.  These courses are two of the five requirements to be a Trained Leader, and these are the last opportunities to qualify for the WOODBADGE course at Cherokee in September-October of 2012.  Other training opportunities have been added to the calendar.

Scouts can help out folks in need this coming weekend by volunteering to collect food in our neighborhoods on Saturday, February 11th. Meet at Westminster Church at 9:00am to start. Please don't be late, as we will depart by 9:15am.  Scouts need to be in their Class A uniform. We also need an adult with a pickup truck to carry the collected food down to the Food Bank.  Target is to be done around 12noon.

     Travel with Troop 101 July 9th - 20th to the Great Alaska Council's High Adventure Camp.  We will fly into Juneau and then take the ferry to Haines where we will receive training from the outdoor leadership school.  Imagine sea kayaking with the seals and sea otters where the glaciers empty into the Alaska fjords before climbing and trekking on the glaciers.  Anyone for fishing?  Top it off with wilderness backpacking above treeline with views into the Yukon Territory.  The estimated cost will be $2100, with the troop providing fundraising opportunities this spring.  Scouts are required to be First Class or above, 14 or over,  and to go on required preparatory hikes and lake kayaking. Adult leaders must be registered leaders who are physically fit and have gone through training. Join us on a once in a lifetime adventure!

All scouts signing up for this trip will be expected to participate in high adventure training trips in the months leading up to the trip, more details will follow.

We are planning a caving trip to Lost World Caverns in Lewisburg, West Virginia on Sunday, March 25. Scouts will be able to go wild caving through the mud and tight spaces in the undeveloped areas of the caverns. Lost World provides guides, equipment, clean-up facilities, a snack and lunch. The projected cost for this outing is $105 per Scout to go on the wild caving tour. (The caverns also offer a non-wild tour of the developed areas.)
