University of Scouting Feb. 20, 2010
The University of Scouting is a supplemental training opportunity for all adult Scout leaders.
It is the only time during the year where you can find, all in one place, the widest variety of training opportunities in all program areas (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venture Scouts, Varsity Scouts, District, and Council). Whether you are new to the program or a veteran of many years, the University provides interesting courses in Cubbing, Scouting, what we call "Adventuring" (a combination of Varsity, Venturing, and Sea Scout activities), as well as Electives opportunities.
Pre-Registration before 2/16/2010 is a MUST (And Save $10.00!) To ensure the best possibility of attending your desired courses, early registration is essential. Register your leaders NOW.
WALK-IN REGISTRATIONS THE MORNING OF THE UNIVERSITY ARE HIGHLY DISCOURAGED!
See the University of Scouting Web Page for detailshttp://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/openrosters/ViewOrgPageLink.asp?LinkKey=24914

Christmas Tree Sales 1965
The earliest records in the Troop Archives dealing with the annual tree sale are from the year 1965.
In that year, we purchased our trees from Cooperative Wholesalers. They were located at 2514 24th St., NE, Washington DC 20018.
The order, consisted 100 White Pines, 300 Scotch Pines, 24 wreaths and 30 bundles of Canadian Balsam. All this for a grand total of $950. (Note that there were no Frasier or Douglas trees sold...guess they were not popular at the time. And, we no longer sell Scotch Pines.)
However, it seems that the troop was unhappy with the trees purchased.
A letter on January 4, 1966 was sent to Cooperative Wholesalers stating that the Balsam trees were "extremely skimpy." The Scotch Pines were smaller than average, while the mistletoe was dried out, discolored and not sell able. Wreaths were not delivered.
The troop estimated a loss of $1225 in sales.
