Life Scout Project

This morning I met with the city Parks Maintenance Supervisor and the Public Works Superintendent to talk about my idea for my Life Scout Project.  Not every Scout actually DOES a big Life Scout Project but I want to.

(Drum Roll, please!!).......
I am heading up a project to install an Orienteering Course at a Park here in town.  It's a relatively new park and is named "Discovery Meadows".  I think learning compass reading skills can help lead to a lot of discoveries.   I've got about 22 acres to play with in making up the course.

Anyway, the meeting this morning went as well as could be expected.  I have to get approval from one more person before I really get started.   I hope that approval comes before Christmas.

I'll  keep an update on the progress here on The Scout Boy.   In the meantime, I've got lots to think about and figure out what to do.

This is the Scout Boy, signing off.

Welcome to The Scout Boy!


Camporall, May 2010
About a year ago I wanted to start a blog but our computer was so old and stubborn that it wasn't worth the ninety zillion hours to do it.

I'm a new Star Scout in the Pacific Northwest.  I really love all things Scouting.  One might say that I'm a little obsessed.  In fact, that's what I told them at my last Board of Review.  They just smiled at me.

I am the Patrol Leader for a New Scout Patrol.  We're a Storming Patrol and one day I hope we turn into a Performing Patrol.

In my blog, I'll be reviewing different equipment, posting some of our Adventures, and taking you along with me as I earn merit badges, learn a zillion things, get blisters, and advance along the way to Eagle.  It's going to be great fun!!
