Jamboree 2011 Update
We need to know if you are coming to Jamboree.
There is an organizational meeting this Wednesday night at 8pm in the gym where we will go over the basics and make sure everyone is set. PLEASE make sure you let us know by Wednesday night if you plan to attend.
We need to finalize the food list and make sure there is room for you on our bus. ”‘Bus’– you say? Are we talking about those school buses that like to drive slowly up hills and then overheat?” No! We are going to take a travel bus and will ride in luxury. “Wow – speechless…”
It’s time for Jamboree!
Jamboree is one of the best events of the year. You really don’t want to miss it. Coming up June 24th through the 26th!
Check out the pictures from prior years’Jamborees or read some of the prior posts on the topic.

Council of Achievement coming up
The long awaited Council of Achievement is coming up soon! June 15, 2011. Come join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of the boys and kick-off summer.
“Chicken! Chicken!”
You may have heard those words yelled by kids at school towards a trembling playmate. Tomorrow night (5/10/11) – you’ll hear all the Discovery Rangers yelling the same thing.
What!?! Why would we encourage such behavior? Because tomorrow night – as part of our Bird Study merit – we will have a real-live chicken come in for a visit to the Discovery Rangers.
You don’t want to miss the one time you can get away with yelling “Chicken!” in church and not get in trouble.
Pack-in was great
Pack-in was an absolutely awesome experience. We enjoyed spending time with each other, hiking, camping, playing in the creek and enjoying time with God.
He was really there as he repeatedly protected us from unexpected surprises like a close encounter with a car in a rest stop & an unfriendly bull nearby. To top it off – we had some great praise and worship and listened to God’s word.
Can’t top it. Don’t miss it next year!
