October November December 2014

Let me first say welcome to our newest
families that have joined Scouting this
fall. As many of us know, the Middle
Tennessee Council has some of the best
programs and resources available to make
Scouting enjoyable and rewarding for our
community. Welcome new leaders! Don’t
forget to complete your youth protection
training, and begin completing the
training for your position.
Our Council is excited about having all our Scouts, Venturers,
and Explorers attend the Council Jamboree October 3-5 at the
Wilson County Fairground. We only do the Jamboree every 4
years, so I encourage all units to plan to attend.
We also have a great opportunity to share our Scouting stories
and experiences with our communities. The Middle Tennessee
Council encourages all of our packs, troops, crews, and posts to
get out and show what Scouting is all about. If you have not
already planned to participate in your local Veterans Day parade
or Christmas parade, please consider doing so. We also suggest
including a monthly service project in your unit calendar and
participate in the Titans Fan Give Away at one of the home games
this season. Don’t forget to log your service hours after each
project.
Our annual popcorn sale is currently underway. This is one great
opportunity to fully fund your Scouting program, along with our
spring camp card sale. If you are new to Scouting, and missed
your opportunity to join the sale during the kickoff in August,
please contact your district executive and let them know. Our
council is committed to keeping Scouting low cost and giving
every Scout the opportunity to fully participate in Scouting.
Thanks for all you do to keep Scouting strong in the 37 counties
of TN and Fort Campbell, KY that we serve.
Yours in Scouting,
Lee Beaman
Council President
Council Calendar
As I write this article, the Middle
Tennessee Council and the Commissioner
Corps are preparing for an extremely busy
fall. It’s August, and both Council and
District Membership Committees are
preparing to ensure a strong Round Up
season for our Cub Scout Packs.
Commissioners are providing postrecruiting assistance, and will continue to
make connections to all units to ensure
they get the information they need to build
a solid program.
We have other major items on the Commissioner agenda that will
prepare us, and the units we serve, for a strong finish in 2014 as
well as give us a solid start to 2015. Here are a few things that
impact all of us:
• Continue a council-wide focus on Youth Protection
Training. YPT is required every two years and we strive to
improve our trained percentages. Ask your District Training
Chair or any commissioner how you can help in this effort.

The Middle Tennessee Council has new décor at the Jet Potter Service Center. We used a wall to timeline many of
the milestones the Middle Tennessee Council has had since its inception in 1920. Thank you to David Roberts,
Scoutmaster of Troop 434 in Walton Trail, for serving as the artist for this monumental task! The cover of Jet
Trails is a replica of the wall you can check out upstairs across from the welcome desk.

On December 6, the Wa-Hi-Nasa Lodge will be hosting
our annual Winter Banquet. The Winter Banquet is a
great opportunity for the whole OA family to come
together and celebrate the year’s accomplishments.
We have had great participation at the Ordeals, inducted
many new and excited members, swapped great tales
and yarns at Fall Fellowship, provided many hours of
cheerful service, went out and brought home trophies
and awards from Conclave, and learned and shared so
much at OAU. It has been a BIG year, and is going to
be a BIG Banquet. We will be recognizing our
outstanding Chapters, outstanding Brothers, and
installing next year’s officers. Come spend the evening
supporting them, and celebrating with us! The OA
Winter Banquet will be a great way to kick off the 2015
OA Centennial Celebration Year!
The Middle Tennessee Council, Scoutreach Division, held its third annual Distinguished
Citizen’s Banquet, August 28, 2014, at the Beaman Curb Conference Center. The banquet
recognized Thelma Ewell, Executive Director and Master Coach of the First Tee of Nashville, as
this year’s recipient. It was a fantastic evening, as we also celebrated the lives of four Scouting community champions who received the
Whitney M. Young, Jr. Service award.
The Distinguished Citizen’s Award is bestowed upon individuals who have demonstrated integrity and genuine concern for others in
both their professional and personal lives. Ms. Ewell is committed to helping the youth she encounters develop into the best individual
they can be. She will tell you that she “creates champions” and her philosophy is “What more can we do?”
The 2014 Whitney M. Young, Jr. Service Award recipients, Booker Dailey, Johnetta Marcellus, Pastor Bruce Maxwell, and Elsa Spiller,
were also recognized at the banquet. These community leaders are honored for their dedicated service to Scouting in rural, multicultural, and inner city communities and youth across Middle Tennessee.
Thank you to all of our award recipients for your work and dedication to your communities and the youth you serve.
The Crew leaders were Troop 1- Marvin Wolgast, Troop 87 - Gary Bass, Troop 55 - Jon Betts, and
Troop 293 - Tom Brasher.
Commissioner
Conference
What a great year it has been on the Cumberland Plateau at Latimer. With over 2600 participants
through September and another 200 projected by year end, this will be another record setting year.
Latimer participants have included Boy Scouts, Venturers, church youth groups, and corporate
groups. It also served as host for the National Camping School for Cub Scout Administration.
Additionally, this past summer, Latimer participated in a national review of Scout facilities and how
their construction and operation relates to sustainability. We were delighted that Latimer was chosen
to participate.
The construction projects have concluded in phase one with the completion of the Latimer Cottage. This structure was made possible
by individual gifts to honor the Latimers for their dedication to the development of Latimer Reservation.
Latimer will host the 3rd Annual Winter Camp on the Plateau. The theme of “Old Time Scouting” will provide Scouts the opportunity
to earn merit badges and participate in old Scouting adventures. For the first time in the Middle Tennessee Council,
Venturers will have their own Winter Camp experience during the same time period of December 27-31,
2014. Special thanks to Bobby Robinson, Boy Scouts, and Annah Dubois, Venturing, for their leadership in the development of the
program. The youth chairman are Matthew Gillette, Boy
Scouts, and Darcy Phinney and Amelia Berle, Venturing.
Registration is currently open and the link is on the
www.mtcbsa.org website.
2015 reservations are filling fast. For more information

“Something new for Commissioners”
Venturers, we have braved the
summer, camped in the fall, and
played in the spring. Now it is
time to conquer the winter!
On December 27-31, 2014, the
Middle Tennessee Council will
host our first ever Venturing
Winter Camp! It will be held at
Latimer High Adventure
Reservation, and our theme is Old
Time Scouting. Obviously Scouts
from long ago could do a variety
of activities, and we will hold
classes to teach you about some of
these old skills (like land
navigation and wilderness
survival), as well as some new
ones (like mountaineering and
mountain biking). Plus, you will
be able to get closer to earning
your Outdoor Bronze or possibly
even your Ranger.
Save the date, and come smash
the cold with your presence!
More information, Leader’s
Guide and Registration form is
available at www.mtcbsa.org.
On November 1st, the Middle Tennessee Council will be
holding it’s first ever Commissioner Conference at
Brentwood United Methodist Church. The conference,
not to be confused with the College of Commissioner
Science, will have both an informational and
motivational format. It is an effort by the Council
Commissioner’s Cabinet to get all commissioners the
materials they need to serve units better, and to update
everyone on the upcoming Commissioner Toolbox,
which is schedule to go live in Middle Tennessee
Council on December 1st.
Chris Smith, our ACC for Training, is serving as Chair
for the event and members of the Council Cabinet will
be heading up break out sessions for Administrative
Commissioners (Karen Bengtson) , Unit Commissioners
(Watson Ambruster) and Roundtable Commissioners
(Amy Smith). We have two members of the National
Commissioner Support Staff assisting us with
presentation as well – Larry Chase, Council
Commissioner of Atlanta Area Council, and our own
Tim Acree, Commissioner of Middle Tennessee Council.
A sample of classes being offered include: Utilizing the
Commissioner Toolbox, Promoting Roundtables, Unit
Commissioners Resource Game, Best Practices for Unit
Commissioners, the NEW Unit Service Plan and
Creating an Effective Key 3. Participants will find a
number of other learning and planning opportunities
spread across all three commissioner breakout sessions.
District Chairs and District Executives are encouraged to
attend with their District Commissioners to learn about
how Commissioner Tools will impact communication
and planning in their districts.
Early Bird cost of the November conference is $25.00
and will include a Recruit, Retain, Recharter notebook,
as well as a 2015 Unit Commissioner Program
Notebook. Registration can be accessed via the council
webpage, www. mtcbsa.org. Register early - Cost of
registration AFTER October 20th will be $30.00.

Thanks to some of our great volunteers, Boxwell has received
renovation to the roads and trail at Percy Dempsey!
We would like to thank the Tennessee Army National Guard, 255th
Engineer Battalion and Major General Max Haston for paving and
making much need repairs to roads from Stahlman Dining Hall to
Trading Post, Duck Head Road, from the Pool to Camp Light,
Explorer Island curve and the OA road. Thank you also to LoJac
Corporation and Warren Garner for assisting in this major project
as paving has not taken place for 25 years at Boxwell!
After 3 years of planning and work by Beaver Day Crews, Wood
Badge Courses, LDS Encampment, Boxwell Rangers, Summer
Camp Staff and the Order of the Arrow, the trail to Percy Dempsey
is now open. What this means is that you can now get from the main
part of camp to Percy Dempsey by trail. The
trail has trail markers throughout, with
rolling hillsides and nature walks. It will be
an excellent opportunity for Troops to come
to Boxwell and backpack to Percy Dempsey
for a weekend. The trail can be picked up at
Cubworld Activity Field where the trailhead
comes out at the southeastern part of Percy
Dempsey. This makes a total of 10 miles of
trails at Boxwell throughout the reservation.

OK, so it’s a little early for carols, but it is the right season … for
POPCORN!!! The Middle Tennessee Council popcorn sale is well
underway, and we want to be sure your unit is taking part.
There is truly no better way to help fund your Scouting experience than
by joining with Trail’s End and BSA to sell popcorn. Your boys will not
only be able to support their program for the year, but they also learn
valuable skills, such as salesmanship, public speaking, and team
building. The time honored tradition of helping pay one’s own way is
still very much a part of the Scouting experience, and this is custom built
to make that possible.
The sale runs from late August until late October, with a “late sale”
available through December 1 if you prefer, so what are you waiting for?
Get out there and help deliver the best funded program your unit has
ever seen…by participating in the popcorn sale! For more information,
please feel free to ask Sherry Rakes, the popcorn queen, at
[email protected].

Middle Tennessee’s Commissioner of the Quarter is Karen
Bengtson, our District Commissioner for Hermitage. Karen
is working through her first full year in this role, and has
had a major impact on an already strong district.
When Karen is not in uniform guiding commissioners and
Unit Key 3’s, through the recharter process, leadership
transitions and highly attended Roundtables, she works as
the Choir Director at Hermitage Presbyterian Church and
has done so for the past 10 years.
Karen has a special passion for day camps, serving as a
Camp Director for 5 years, Twilight Camp Director for 3
years, and Council Day Camp Advisor for 2 years.
She teaches Cubmaster breakouts at monthly Roundtables
and has served as Counselor for over 75 Scouts who earned
their Religious Emblem.
When asked about her view of what makes a great
commissioner, Karen will say that helping units identify
their own needs is rewarding. “We are committed to guiding
and mentoring.” Her staff’s success in Hermitage reflects
that commitment – she maintains one of the highest
visitation percentages in the council and her staff meetings
are informative and fun. Karen’s team of commissioners are
highly involved in the units they serve and their approach to
tackling challenges is unified and straight forward – it takes
a district to help each unit – a job they take seriously in
Hermitage.
Karen and her husband Carl have three children; Robert, 18;
an Eagle Scout; Emily, 16; and Michael, 12, a Tenderfoot.
They live in Mt. Juliet.
www.BeAScout.org is a website designed to
connect an interested family with the opportunity to
join Scouting. They can find local Scouting units as
well as unit websites, contact information and even fill
out an application online!
Is your unit information on the beascout.org website? If
so, is your unit information up to date? If not, please
get your unit on the map! This will help those
searching for a local unit find you!
Tennessee Titan’s Service Project
How would you like to attend a free professional football
game? What if you could get to watch that game and get
service hours? Sounds like a dream come true? Well guess
what, If you join us for our Titan’s Service Project, your
dream will come true!!!
Step by step how to put your unit on the map is on the
left postcard.
If you have questions, please contact your local district
executive. You can also check out FAQ’s.
Each home game the Council helps the Titans with their fan
give aways. You get to come to the game for free, a free
parking pass, and you get 3 hours of service that can count
toward advancements! Guess what else, parents get to help
and get in free as well!
For more information or to sign up go to www.mtcbsa.org
under “Upcoming Events” or call Bobby Powell @ 615977-6368.
“Since I joined the Eagle Quest, I have done more fun things this summer than I could have
done in two years with my troop.” – Participant in the Eagle Quest. Swimming, canoeing
school, caving, outdoor survival skills, community service, archery, Dutch oven cooking,
summer camp at Boxwell and NYLT at Latimer, are some of the activities the Scouts with
the EQ were exposed to this past summer.
The great outdoors sets the scenario for the BSA program to be developed. During the
summer, the Scouts were challenged to step out of their comfort zone and take part in
activities that required determination, endurance, patience, leadership and team building.
Swimming lessons also were a major focus this summer. The Scouts from the EQ gained
the skills necessary to pass the BSA swimming test and some
of them even earned the Swimming merit badge. It was a
great reward to see boys who once were terrified to swim in
the pool taking part (without hesitation) in the canoeing
school at the Hiwassee River.
The need for after school programs such as those offered by
the BSA is enormous in Nashville Metro schools and for some
kids it is the last chance they may have to be exposed to the
values of Scouting. Working with kids in the inner-city is a
challenge that without resources, volunteers and finances can
never be met. Nevertheless, the Middle Tennessee Council,
has embraced it with intensity and dedication, reaching and making life changing
differences in youth of all backgrounds and communities.
“If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a word or song, if I
can show somebody he is traveling wrong, then my living will not be in vain.” Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. 1969.
If you would like to respond to the challenge by supporting any of the three areas
mentioned above or would like any more information about the Eagle Quest Initiative,
please contact the Middle Tennessee Council.

Scouting for Food
Attention to all Middle
Tennessee Council Leaders
From: Middle Tennessee
Council, Health and Safety
Committee
Please be advised that some
commercial brand small
wound bandages contain latex
in their packaging, that could
cause a possible serious
reaction for anyone allergic to
latex. Check the side of the
box for the warning. It is
recommended that you have
latex free gloves and
bandages in your first aid kit.
Good Turn for America is a national call to service by the Boy Scouts of America to
address the issues of hunger, homelessness, and poor health in our nation. Some Good Turns
are big—saving a life, helping out after floods or other disasters, recycling community trash,
working with others on conservation projects. But Good Turns are often small, thoughtful
acts—helping a child cross a busy street, going to the store for an elderly neighbor, cutting
back brush that is blocking a sign, doing something special for a brother or sister, welcoming
a new student to your school.
Scouting for Food is the Middle Tennessee Council’s effort to help Units do a Good Turn for
America. In partnering with the Second Harvest Food Bank, your Unit along with just two or
three hours of your time, can give a family in crisis hope for another day, another birthday,
another laugh, another smile. Please register online and early, to make plans to help out with
this year’s Scouting for Food which is being held February 7th through the 14th,
2015. Register by January 23rd in order to secure patches, boxes, door
hangers and other materials to make your food drive a success.
Once you have completed a service project, don’t forget to log your unit’s Scouting Good
Turn projects at https://servicehours.scouting.org/UI/Security/Login.aspx Reporting your
hours at this website is required for the BSA Journey to Excellence performance recognition
program. Listing these projects also helps the MTC learn about the important work Scouts
are doing in Middle Tennessee!

Peaks. The adventure is a fun filled night for friends to reminisce and an opportunity to meet
new friends.
Everyone will gather at the Jet Potter Boy Scout Service Center
at 11:00 am. Students should be prepared to pay $110
registration fee to cover liability insurance, transportation, ski lift,
and skiing equipment and additional funds for their food and
snacks in route to Paoli Peaks. (registration does not cover food).

remember!

Summer Camp will be one to remember with over 3,000 Scouts and 1,000 leaders spending week
long adventures at Bowell Reservation. New merit badges at camp included Cooking,
Salesmanship, Public Speaking, Entrepreneurship and yes, Dog Care. The triathlon returned to a
swimming leg and had close to 200 participants. The Pfeffer Boat Harbor also had many exciting
activities including Jet Skis again where over 100 Scouts earned their TWRA boating license.
The Tree Top Zipline also saw 700-800 Scouts getting “ the ride of their LIFE.”
Superheroes was the theme at Cub and Webelos Resident Camp with many sighting from Green
Lantern, Superman Batman! Over 700 Cub Scouts and 1,000 parents and siblings enjoyed tons of
activities; the Olympic fitness challenge, swimming, campfires, earning belt loops and much
more!
Thanks to a great summer camp staff for preparing a safe and fun experience!
Employee of the Quarter
Dwanna Hughes, the
Employee of the Quarter was
raised in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. She attended the
University of Northern Iowa
and then Tennessee State
University. She is a singer
with “Dwanna and The Prime
Time Band”, worked at Off
5th Saks Fifth Avenue, sold
CAbi Clothing, and was “All
State” and “All American” in Track and Field in high
school which landed her a full athletic scholarship to
UNI. She began her Scouting career with the Middle
Tennessee Council in the role of Program Specialist
and now serves as the Nashboro District Executive.
Dwanna and her husband Theo live in Nashville and
are parents to a son 11 and daughter almost 13.
Kodiak 2014 was a different leadership training experience for 19 young men and women. Not
only did they learn leadership skills, they got to practice them in the back country at Latimer!
This time Tent City was left far behind to be replaced by Hammock City.
The 19 participants came from all over. While a majority were from the Middle Tennessee
Council, we had one young man that traveled all the way from North Carolina to take part. No
matter where they were from, they came together to form a cohesive unit.
They had the opportunity to canoe, backpack, and sail, along with a variety of other activities.
Fun was not the only thing on the menu, as they also completed a service project. They helped
clean up one of the trails that had been damaged by a tornado that passed through Latimer back in
the spring.
One of the most heard comments about the course was, “This took the leadership skills I was
taught at NYLT and taught me how to use them in the real world!” Another often heard
comment, “This was a blast!”
Congratulations to Dwanna on her outstanding
service to the Middle Tennessee Council.
Keep an eye on the council website to see when it will
be offered again and make sure to sign up!
Registration begins in November
Sales begin March 1 and go to April 17th.
The Middle Tennessee Council is pleased to announce
the “Camp Card”. This initiative is designed to help

on April 25th, 2014, giving units six weeks to sell and
close out their accounts.

Troop 868 Backpacking In Yosemite
July 2014, Troop 868, sponsored by
Rockland Baptist Church in
Hendersonville, spent a week backpacking
in Yosemite. The Scouts experienced
firsthand the meaning of “Be Prepared”.
The Scouts saw amazing lakes, waterfalls,
rivers, trees, and even had a bear
encounter.
While swimming in Yosemite, Life Scout Jacob Lord discovered a camera in the lake.
After realizing the camera was broken, Jacob removed
the memory card, and realized he had seen the people on
the images earlier that day. Jacob saw the couple later in
the day and returned their lost camera. The wife jokingly
suggested that Jacob saved her husband’s life, as all of
their memories from this trip were on that camera.
Scoutmaster Bill Barton said the troop will plan more
challenging and memorable trips like this!
Welcome New Cubs And Leaders!

Packs Make The Most Of Summer
Ok…..once school is out and summer
begins, Cub Scouts packs slow
down….right? Not so fast. There
certainly was no slowing down for
Pack 429 and Pack 83. As a matter
of fact things started heating up in June with events such as the annual “Schools Out Party”
which included food, games, and
many activities. Although this past
July was not as hot as usual that did
not deter these two packs from
having an ice cream social, miniature
golf, two trips to Grimes Canoe base,
Day Camp and a Sounds baseball
game. Oh Yea…there is an award
you can get for having a pack activity
during the summer called the
“Summer Time Pack Award”.
Pictured on the left: Pack 54 took a unit
bike ride on a local Greenway in June
for a summer pack activity.

District Chairman The Messengers Of Peace Patch
The Messengers of Peace patch is a patch that is earned,
Bill Jones

service project that has a significant impact on the
Chrisie Moore
District Executive community. The Scouts of Pack 502 have been
partnering with Manna Café Ministries in Clarksville,
Grace Vasquez
with the desire to help bring hope, love and dignity to the
homeless population in their community. They offer love, food and shelter with prayers to
restore hope and dignity to the broken and homeless. This amazing outreach is affording
our Scouts the opportunity to apply Scouting’s 12 core values and
build character.

New Exploring Post In Lewisburg
July 26th was a great day for the Duck River District. We held a
community event, in partnership with the Sheriff department,
fire department and the local packs, that kicked off our brand
new Marshall County Sheriff Department explorers post!
Around 100 children were able have an identikit made for them
with DNA swabs, fingerprints, and hair strands. The kids also
met the Sheriff, who was brave enough to demonstrate the local
K9 dog skills on himself. People played football and Scout
games, ran sack races, met a police horse and even petted an
owl named Rusty! Sundrop and hot dogs were provided for
everyone. The community is fired up and excited about
upcoming Scouting events in their home community.
Pack 351 Rocket Launch
Also on July 26, Pack 351 from Marvin Wright Elementary in Spring Hill, held their very
first Rocket Launch. There were 14 Cub Scouts and their families that participated. They
learned about rockets and how they worked, as well as some good lessons on gravity. They
took turns firing off their rockets, and everyone watched
in amazement as to how far they were going up. Some
traveled as high as 1500 feet. Then they watched them
as they gently glided back down with the help of the
parachute. All the Scouts were ready and eager to help
retrieve them for their owners, but unfortunately a few
landed in the trees. Even the neighbors in the
subdivision came out and sat in their yards to watch the
excitement and fun. It was a very successful event and
we are all excited to do it again next year.

End Of The Year
Well, I made it through my first full calendar year. I must say that it has been a tremendous
ride. Starting with an Eagle Banquet and FOS in January and going through Summer Camps,
Round Ups, and year-end re-charters, it was an incredible year. I am adding this to Jet Trails

New District Commissioner
After a very successful Day Camp for Cub Scouts and a big majority of Troops attending
Summer Camp, the Highland Rim District is preparing for a very active Fall and Winter
season. The first event is the Council Jamboree October 3-5.
Ray Crouch, Sr. is the new District Commissioner, and he plans to do some heavy recruiting
for Unit Commissioners. The Commissioner staff is looking forward to the Council-wide
implementation of the new Commissioner tools. These tools will be a vast improvement
over the old UVTS system, and we can hardly wait to see the system go live.
Troops and Packs have really been busy! Troop 408 just completed a Canoe Weekend at the
Grimes Canoe Base, where they had a near perfect weekend outing.
Troop 594 Summer Adventure
Troop 594 held their annual after summer camp
week of adventure. The group traveled 1400
miles, earned 4 merit badges (Cooking,
Kayaking, American Heritage & Aviation),
hiked 2 Historical Trail hikes, did 11 miles of
Kayaking, spent a day at the National Navy
Aviation Museum, went to Fort Barrancas, Fort
Pickens, Perdido Key Beaches, and Waterville USA. When asked about where they had the
most fun, their answer was, “all equal good times.”
Highland Rim Recruiting
Packs are having some very successful roundups
using the “Rocket into Cub Scouts” theme. One
great example of this is Pack 126 in Ashland
City where new Cubmaster, Anthony Rigby, was
very successful in recruiting new boys into the
Cub Scout Program.

Professional guides Troop 87 encountered were
impressed with their full itinerary packed with once-ina-lifetime experiences. Rich Stone, one of the co-leaders commented, "Most boys their age
don't get to experience ice climbing with ropes, ice axes, and crampons. It was moving to
watch the boys conquer that challenge."
The Alaska Trekkers were fortunate to avoid any bear encounters, though a female moose
ambled through their campsite one evening.
The troop prepared for the trip for almost a year, including regular training hikes, a
kayaking training session, and several backpacking training campouts. Scouts earned
money for the trip by selling Christmas trees, poinsettias, and camp cards.
Rolling On The River
Fall fun is off to an excellent start for Nashboro Scouts, as units came together for an
overnight canoe trip to Grimes Canoe Base under the August Full moon. The day and
night were filled with adventure as they canoed and kayaked along the Buffalo River. One
camper ended up in the water instead of in the boat when he encountered a tree branch, and
the tree branch won. He was not hurt, just wet but it was cool on a hot day. The units
participating in this fun-filled day were Troops 33 and 169 and Packs 169, 1548, and 17.
Thanks to Camping Chairman, Aaron Painter, for planning this wonderful activity; there
will be many
more to come.

On September 6, the Hermitage District Cub Scouts got together at the Mt. Juliet Train Depot
for a day of back to school fun. Inflatables, Pirate Ship, Monkey Bridge, and the Mt. Juliet
Police and Fire Departments were just a few of the items that the boys and their families
enjoyed. This was a great event and we are looking forward to next year’s event.

Alaska with 14 fellow Scouts and Scouters from
John Conger
District Director Nashville’s Belle Meade United Methodist Church's
Troop 87. During the first two weeks of July, Devan
Mark Dunlap
and other Scouts from his troop went ice climbing on
the Matanuska Glacier, then backpacked and bouldered
their way to Reed Lake. From there the Scouts headed
to Denali where they went mountain biking and camped
with a clear view of Mt. McKinley (which only 30
percent of visitors to Denali are lucky enough to see).

The Justice League?
Troop 249 and Troop 324 camped together during
summer camp this year at Boxwell. Our theme was
Superheroes, so our leaders donned their Superhero alter
ego outfits to provide their superhero service to all at
camp. Here they are seen “saving” a staff member (from
what I do not know). They also were invited to
Cubworld where they entertained our youngest Scouts
with their superhero powers and adventures.

Look How Far They ve Come
Philmont Scout Ranch hit the milestone of
1,000,000 campers this past summer. Troop 374
was part of this memorable moment in BSA history.
Several Scouts from 374 that went to Philmont had
also visited the 2013 National Jamboree and Sea
Base previously. And still, the consensus was that
the rigors of Philmont are "unparalleled by any
other Scouting event." In one crew from 374, six of
seven Life Scouts crossed over together from Cub Scouts. Four of them started Scouting
together as Tiger Cubs. And together, they climbed to the peak of their Scouting careers in
New Mexico.
Spring Cub & Family To Combine With Camporee
March 20-22, 2015 will be quite a busy weekend for the Trail of Tears District. In addition
to the Pinewood Derby, Webelos Crossover ceremony, and Spring Cub & Family weekend,
the Boy Scouts will host a Spring Camporee simultaneously. This blowout weekend will
enhance the Webelos Crossover experience and ease the burden on families with boys in
both Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting. The Winter Camporee will still take place in January,
so this Spring Camporee will be an additional event for 2015—bringing the Trail of Tears
three district-wide campouts.
Family Fun Day
Pack 374 had a great turn out when
they held a Family Fun day to help
welcome new Scouts to their Pack
and to help kick off their Popcorn
sales for 2014.

Scouting In The NEWS
Walton Trail had a big summer this year as
our Scouts were in the newspapers all around
the District. Pack 150 in Watertown was in
the 2014 Stars, Stripes, and Squirt Guns
Fourth of July Parade. They built an amazing
float and had fun squirting people. Pack 367
in Carthage was a part of Smith County
history as they were the first to set foot on the
new Cordell Hull Bridge. Pack 122 was in
the Hartsville Fourth of July Parade, as the
Pack got the honor of leading the parade and
carrying the Colors. Thank you, parents and
leaders for making this program so
successful.
Rain Gutter Regatta
Rrrrr maties, it is time to get back on the sea.
It is getting cold outside, but the Walton Trail
District is ready to have fun with building
and racing boats. The Cub Scouts will get
creative as they build and race their Rain
Gutter Regatta boats in November. Leaders, parents, and Scouts are looking forward to
seeing some remarkable boats and having lots of fun.

Avid Scouter To Be Missed
Mrs. Carol Kidd Long, age 72 of Thompson Station, passed
away on July 31, 2014. Carol will be remembered for her
passion and leadership in Scouting. She understood the mission
of the Boy Scouts of America, and demonstrated the greatest
gift a person can give; a willingness to share a part of her life
so that future generations will know that a well-rounded and
noteworthy character counts. She will be missed by all whose
lives she touched.

Wood Badge beads MT-60 by her Troop Guide,

Scouts are racing to sign up in Greenbrier. Cub Scout
Pack 460 and
Troop 461 attended the Greenbrier parade during the
July 4th celebration. They were recognized as they
presented the flag and the traditional Greenbrier
Turning of the Pig. Cub Scout Kaleb Smith, 7, tried out
one of the race cars brought to the event by Highland
Rim Speedway while his mom and Scout leader Donna
Moss-Smith looked on. The Rim Runner the Smiths
were drawn to is used in the track’s Faster Pastor series,
an event that pits congregation leaders against one
another for fun, according to Highland Rim co-owner Jerry Criswell.
