Venture/Philmont Wilderness First Aid Weekend - details by Venture email.
3:30 p.m. Scouts working on the Cooking Merit Badge arrive right after school to begin preparation of "pot luck" dinners in dutch ovens: Beef Stew: Jaeger Dinsmore and Bo Murray; Shepard's Pie: Jacob Reger, Tosten Peterson, and Tommy Akers; Chili: Noah Davis, Fritz Mueller, and Nathan Melvin Martinez; Pizza Pasta Bake: Will Ragsdale and TJ Schombert; Dutch Oven Pizza: Clark Diama and Sam Nelson; Dutch Oven Lasagna: Tyler Urban and Nathan Sominitz; Chicken Pot Pie: TJ Barber and Tristan DuChateau; Pot Luck: Lucas Mirabella. Each of these Scouts has a recipe, will obtain his own ingredients (make sure to include at least two fresh vegetables per the requirements), and will prepare, cook, and serve his own dutch oven. (The troop will provide dutch ovens for all scouts needing them; please notify me at rushhoag@comcast if you are bringing your own dutch oven.) The troop will provide beverage, dinner rolls, green salad, and a dessert; so there is no need for families to bring a pot luck contribution as was suggested at last week's Court of Honor. There will be plenty of food, so be sure and invite your entire family, your extended family, and any other Scout, Scouter or Friend of Scouting you can think of who might enjoy the best Boy Scout Dutch Oven Dinner west of Fox Hollow, Tennessee.
5:00 p.m. Scouts who attended last summer's trip to Washington D.C. Tour and National Boy Scout Jamboree arrive for final review of the slide show and rehearsal of the evening program: Tom Akers, Ryan Helbling, Joe Laver, Will Ragsdale, Blake Schumacher, and Connor Weller.
6:30 p.m. Mark your calendar for the 104th Scout Anniversary Week Dinner at Wesley Church as we start a half hour early. Our Scouts who visited the Washington, D.C. area and the National Boy Scout Jamboree last summer will narrate a slide show of selected photographs they took on this tour. Be sure and wear or bring your Scout uniform, neckerchief and slide, and merit badge sash for the annual troop photograph. (The bolo tie which has been authorized for hot weather trips, is not otherwise the troop uniform.) Dinner will include seventeen dutch oven one pot meals prepared and served by our Scouts working toward the Cooking Merit Badge. (Beverage, rolls, salad, and a dessert will be provided by the troop, so there is no need for families to bring pot luck offerings this year. Please come - there will be plenty of food!) This dinner is not to be missed, as I think you'll be impressed as the dutch oven dinners will give new meaning to "pot luck."

Scouts and families are encouraged to visit during Scout Sunday Services at Wesley Church and show your appreciation to the church. I can report to you that Rev. Erin Martin has been an outstanding minister who has taken great effort and care to provide Wesley Church with the highest quality of Services and ministry. The Services are also very friendly and open to people of all ages with music and prayer displayed on a large screen. The church is very proud of its Boy Scout Troop and I am sure they would like to see us join them in church on Scout Sunday this year.
