Oregon Trail Council EOA

With the recent discussion about EOA i thought i would take a minuet and
talk about what the Oregon Trail Council EOA has done, and possible get
some help from the Sea Explorers on this list.

The OTC EOA was formed in November of 97. Our major accomplishment
since then has been sending our Council Commodore to Seabadge.

In my council Sea Exploring is not a big program by any stretch of the
imagination and that really to bad. It is a great program, I would be a
sea explorer if i could (closest ship is a hour drive and i don't have
the time to form a ship were i live). So the EOA officers were sitting
around trying to think of things to do to help exploring in general and
for some reason our council commodore's name came up, he has been a good
friends to all of us for a long time. We decided the best thing we
could do for Sea Explorer would be to get him the training he needs to
be the best Commodore possible. So we quickly go onto the Sea Exploring
web Site (i REALLY wish every cluster of exploring had a site like
that). We looked at the various training possible and found out about
SeaBadge. Quickly we called the course director for the one in western
Region and were sent info. Then we all worked on getting pledges and
were able not only to buy the gas to get there, pay for registration and
get him back. But he have a little $$$ left over. So now we want to
get him the Unofficial SeaBadge knot, because it looks cool, he doesn't
like the Official one, and it would be nice to present to him at the
next EOA meeting.

So can any of you Sea Exploring help? I can't post to any Sea Exploring
Mailing List because he is a member of them.

So in the short existence of Oregon Trail Council EOA, we have done
something. And i think its something that will have a positive impact
on Exploring in my council. Without EOA he would never have known or
had the ability to go to SeaBadge (he is a rather poor person
unfortunately). That alone in my mind justifies having the EOA.
