 STILLWATER LAKE DAM
Camp Minsi needs your help! As you may already know, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has declared the dam at Camp Minsi a B-2 High Hazard Dam in need of repair. Our council leadership has spent a great deal of time and effort working on possible solutions to this issue. As follow up to the recent District Roundtable meeting, following are the materials reviewed: Again, thanks for your efforts in this important project and we look forward to receiving your letters. |
By Jacob Brown, District Chairman
As the warm summer months begin, and thoughts turn to trips to the shore, and other summer vacation plans, I remind you not to forget scouting. Scouting is a year-round program. I know that some units suspend meetings for the summer, or meet on a less frequent basis, but that does not mean that scouting stops.
Don’t forget Day Camp, or Resident Camp. Our council provides a quality summer camping program that I urge you to participate in. Many units have high adventure trips planned, and if you are attending a high adventure camp, I hope you enjoy it. As a scout, I had the opportunity to attend the Maine High Adventure Camp in located on the Alagash Waterway, as well as Florida Sea Base. Both were very different experiences, but experiences I will remember for the rest of my life.
If you are in need of a service project, the summer is a good time to work on that Eagle Project, or earn a few merit badges without having to worry about that book report you put off until the last minute, or that major test you need to study for. Make the most of your summer, but enjoy it also.
Most of all, I hope you have a safe summer. Use the ideals and principles of scouting in your everyday life. If you are going swimming at the neighborhood pool, or the pool in your back yard, take a buddy. If you are going for a morning jog, or bike ride, make sure you drink plenty of water. Most importantly, Be Prepared for whatever life throws your way.
Thank you for your commitment to the Boy Scouts of America, the Minsi Trails Council, and the Trexler District. Please do not hesitate to call on me if I can assist you or your unit in any way.
Yours in Scouting,
Jacob Brown
District Chairman
