Bob sent out an e-mail talking about how our scouts running the tree lot year after year has touched one life and how she has, in return, touched ours. I asked him to post it to our website as well to share and it is now available under our History page: http://www.troop151.net/history/
Thanks Bob! Merry Christmas to All!
Welcome to Krthosting.com Blogs. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
Pictures for the August summer trip down to California have now been posted to the web, so take a look. Also, I discovered that Facebook pages can receive updates from blogs but Facebook groups cannot…guess which one we currently have? So, I created a Facebook Page for Troop 151. Please take a look, become a fan, and invite your family and friends to become fans, too!
Enjoy!

Welcome back from your long road trip, guys & parents! I enjoyed seeing the pictures from Mary that she posted on the Troop Facebook page! I hope more of you will post pictures as well as captions and comments about the pictures so we who didn’t get to go can find out more.
Mike Wilton got married to his long time girlfriend (11 years) Krista on Sunday August 2nd. Mike also graduated from University of British Columbia on July 31st and will be teaching grade school next year. Mike will be back at Camp Parsons next year with the Troop. Mike wanted to send his congraulations to everyone for the outstanding job they did at camp this year. He was very proud of the canoe race team’s 2nd palce with 3 paddles. Also, to Conor for winning the adult penathlon and carrying on other Troop traditions. Congraulations to Mike and Krista Wilton.
Troop 320 from Pennsylvania wanted me to pass along their thanks to all the Scouts and Parents from troop 151. They had a great time. They enjoyed the tour of Seattle on Saturday. They loved Camp Parsons and agreed it was the best Scout Camp they had attended. Their leadership group met with Brad Allen of the Chief Seattle Council and praised Troop 151 and their Scoutmaster (that would be me) for helping them with their trip palns and for showing them a great time. Brad Allen came to our campsite and thanked me and our Troop for hosting and showing Troop 320 a great week. Thanks to everyone for their help with this task.
Once again Troop 151 won big at Camp Parsons. This year our Patrols took 2nd and 3rd in the Best Patrol Contest, out of 62 Patrols. Our canoe team finished 2nd using 4 Scouts and 3 paddles (losing 1 paddle during the race). Conor Myhre won the adult pentathlon. Tim Lynch won the grand prize of Waiter of the Week in the dinning hall. The Troop took home the 2nd Place Best Troop Award. A great job for a Troop of 10 Scouts.
In addition the Scouts earned 27 Merit Badges, Gabe complete his 1st Class requirements, and Raymond has almost finished his 2nd Class and 1st Class requirements.
James and Logan S. did a great job leading our Troop and everyone had fun.
A big Thank Youto our returning Eagel Scouts for their help during the week. Conor Myhre stayed all week and was a big help with eveything. Will Ringness worked with our canoe team. Trip Maguire helped with getting everything ready for Friday, and hauling gear home on Saturday.
The location of the June campout has changed. We were going to Jim Creek for the Cope course, due to the high cost and age limits we are not going to Jim Creek. We are going camping on Blake Island. Logan Gilbert’s grandfather has once again offered us the use of his boat for the trip to Blake island. We will meet at Bob’s house at 8:00. We will need driver to take us to the marina. More information will be given out at Monday meeting June 8th.
