Exciting times at T52. Our SPL put together a 4 week "Knot Your Mamma's Knot Tourney" in preparation for Camporee ... the winning patrol getting to eat dinner with the Bats at the Tom Wood Fishing Campout and the patrol leader get a "golden" monkey fist. ISN'T FOOD ALWAYS JUST THE BEST INCENTIVE ?!? The first week we utilized our two new knot tying stations in "Knot your Momma's Knots 101." The second week ours scouts used their lashing skills to lash together a 15 foot "fishing pole" ... clove hitched a "fishing string" ... and fished for 3 rat traps in "Mamma's Knot Rat Fishing 101." This past week in the "I Knot That 101" our scouts competed against each other in Boy Scout Jeopardy, First Aid and Patrol Feud. The next Tmeeting is "Up, Down and All Around 101" based around orienteering skills. As an incentive for the scouts to explore the website we are having knife give-aways.... we require each week they answer a question taken from various places on the website. Their entry form is permission from the parents to receive the knife if their name is drawn and they have to present their Totin' Chip card with at least one corner still attached in order to win. So far the answers have been found on: HOME page under announcements, in the Photo Albums and this week they have to search the Merit Badge Counselors for a particular Eagle MBC. Set your recorder and watch Grey's Anatomy on Tuesday and come by for a visit .... we'd love to see you! YIS PS: BSA Jeopardy was a huge hit ... Would you slightly used Bats consider challenging the new and imporved Bats to a round????
