July 4 LibertyFest Parade

It isn't Independence Day in Edmond until you see the boy scouts and the cub scouts marching in the LiberyFest Parade. We want a really big showing this year to comemorate 100 years of the Boy Scouts of America.  Come at 8:00 a.m. to the East side of the UCO library.

Wear class A uniform with scarves and sashes. Bring a liter of water. Parents, pick up your cub scouts at the end of the parade route. They will be finished long before the parade is over so be sure to be there when they are and enjoy the rest of the parade together.

Here is the map of the parade route.

Martin Park Nature Center

Martin Park Nature Center in North Oklahoma City is a great day trip for hiking and learning about nature.  They have a summer program called the Green Earth Gang for kids 9-13 years old.

They are also in constant need of volunteers interested in conservation projects or eagle projects.

Contact Casey Wieczorek for more information.

Eagle District Webelos Woods September 25-27

Eagle District Webelos Woods will be the weekend of September 26.  This is the premier event for webelos scouts to see first hand what boy scouting is all about.  You can drive up Saturday morning, or better yet camp as a webelos den.  Or for the most fun around, arrange to camp with a boy scout troop!

All attendees, boy scouts, webelos, and adults please register your attendance on the council web site.

Eagle District Cubmobile Race

Eagle District Cubmobile race will be May 16, 2009 at Main Street UCO.  There is an 8:30 check in.  Cub scouts race in a soapbox derby style car.  It is loads of fun and the cars can be reused year after year.

It is recommended that there be one car per scout.  Each car races the same number of times.

Start building that racer now!

Eagle District Camporee April 24-26

EAGLE DISTRICT CAMPOREE

Our annual Camporee was held this past weekend 04-24-2009 to 04-26-2009.  We had great weather, great location, great participants, and great fun.  In a word, it was GREAT!!!

200 scouts were in attendance from 10 Troops and 4 Webelos Dens.

New to Eagle District’s Camporee was a Friday night movie, Friday night events, and a Saturday Morning SPL Breakfast.

The theme was “Be Prepared and Expect the Unexpected”.  As it turns out, “Be Prepared” brought home a new meaning to a lot of scouts. 

Although the adults organized and ran the competitive events the SPL’s and Webelos Denner’s made most of the decisions.  They decided what movie to watch (The City of Ember), what time to have the opening ceremony and the SPL’s even had the chance to invite their Scoutmasters to Breakfast…some did.

Saturday was full of events (17+).  We had scout skill competitions and scout games competitions.  We even had a Monkey Bridge Crossing, Frisbee golf, and tie slide making.

Our District Executive even ran an event (How tall is it), our District Chairman (tug of war), and District Commissioner (First Aid Kim’s Game).  I would like to have told you our Council Executive ran an event but he was just having too much fun watching his son’s patrol.

I want to thank the Eagle District Order of the Arrow for conducting the Flag ceremonies and Saturday night Campfire.  They also had a “Great” Call Out ceremony.

OK, here’s my challenge…If you have seen all you want to see of Boys having fun, If you have seen all you want to see of boys demonstrating scout skills, If you have had all the fun you ever want to have at a scouting event. If you have met all the people that have the same values, helpfulness, comradeship that you ever want to meet….CAMPOREE IS NOT FOR YOU.   But if you haven’t….See you next year

Thanks to all that helped
