Will be lifting him and his family up in my prayers.

In the Greater St. Louis Area Council it is the 2nd and 3rd sat in Nov., same as always

Thanks for the suggestions. Between these and a long talk with my troop guide this evening I think i'm headed in the right direction.

I've been working on developing my ticket items. I've come up with a couple so far but i am struggling on one that deals with diversity. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well we had our pre course meeting yesterday. Was a great time getting to know the staff and learning a little bit about what we will be learning. I for one am really excited about Woodbadge and can hardly wait for the course to begin.

We are pretty fortunate to have a fundraiser that takes care of all our fees for the year. The only thing we require the scouts to pay for is their registration and half of summer camp fees, we take care of the rest.

Camp Lewallen-Greater St. Louis Area Council

60 miles south of St. Louis

Been about 4 times, they have a extremely well trained and dedicated staff. Outstanding Voyager program (first year scouts). Not to mention some of the best food around. I gained weight at my last summer camp. Check it out @ stlbsa.org

I will be taking Wood Badge this summer and as part of my ticket I am thinking about developing a troop handbook. Anyone out there have copies of their handbooks that I can use as reference material? I would be willing to pay for postage and any copying costs.Just send me a PM or e-mail me at babybear4747@msn.com
