Scoutmaster Minute
By Mr. Ryan J., Scoutmaster
It seems like only yesterday when I was preparing my first
Scoutmaster's Minute for the Troop 10 Times, and now after 2
years as Scoutmaster, it is time for me to move on. (For those of
you who are new to our troop, we are continuing our longstanding Troop 10 tradition of limiting our Scoutmaster's and
Committee Chairs to a 2-year term. This keeps a fresh flow of
energy and new ideas in these key positions, and I think that it is
a significant reason for Troop 10's ongoing success.) As with our
previous Scoutmasters, I will not be leaving the troop, but will
continue to be active as an Assistant Scoutmaster. I am excited
about the opportunity to continue serving the troop and working
with our scouts.
We have had a couple of great years, but we owe our success to a
lot of fine adult leaders. Thanks to our outstanding Camping
Director, Bill Turnquest, our camping program — the core of any
great scouting program- is second to none. Through Mr.
Turnquest, we have added climbing, dog sledding, caving, cabin
campouts and snowshoe making to our already strong repertoire
of great campouts. Amazingly, he has even secured fabulous
weather for the outings. I'll never know how he does it all!
I have been blessed with a great team of Assistant Scoutmasters,
but I need to particularly mention the great work of Erik B. and
Fred S. on Advancement, Bill R. with new scouts, Hank S., Tim
G., Ken L. and Tony C. with Eagle Scouts, Vern K. (my
predecessor as Scoutmaster), Quartermaster Supreme Steve R.
and Jeff S. with the Venture Patrols.
The Troop Committee, led by my scouting "other half," George
F., had been another key. Some of the vital players have been
Lisa E., Teresa J. and Margaret R. on Advancement; Tom K. on
training; BUMC Rep Rich R.; Craig H. on fund raising; Treasurer
Mike L.; Sarah H., Cheryl K. and Robin B. on the Courts of
Honor; Secretary Faye S.; and Carole Z., Deb K., Lynn H. and
Lauren F. on the Troop 10 Times.

Help! Drivers Needed!
With our Troop continuing to expand, our rate of
boys' participation on campouts continues to grow.
And with that comes a logistics problem: how to
transport the boys and Troop gear to campsites.
On average, drivers carry about 3 Scouts per car on
outings. That means that if a parent isn't acting as a
driver on at least one of every three outings, then
someone else is covering their share. Parents do
not need to stay at campouts. They are more than
welcome to do so, but if schedules won't allow it,
then we will be most appreciative just for the rides
they offer. Please consider driving on Friday
evenings and/or Sunday mornings. The Troop
equipment trailer needs to be pulled, too. We are
desperate for Suburbans, pickups, or Humvees to
pull the trailer to and from campouts, about 6
events each year plus summer camp.
If you are capable and willing, please call me to
discuss availability, hitch size, electric brakes, etc.
Steve R., Quartermaster
By Nate H.
While looking at your Boy Scout book,
some scouts may notice that there is a requirement
that asks if the scout has demonstrated scout spirit.
What is scout spirit, you might ask? Scout spirit is
dependent on many things. First the Scout-master
will look at how often you come two meetings.
That is usually the most important factor in
advancing, for obvious reasons. Then he will want
to know how often you go on campouts. This also
shows that you are (or aren't) an active member in
the troop, but it also shows if you are learning and
benefiting from the scouting experience. Finally
the scoutmaster will think about how you help the
troop on a daily basis.
P.S. Selling wreaths will never hurt your
participation.
Chris G.'s Eagle Project
Please help me complete my eagle project on
June 2e. The project starts at 8 am and
goes to 4 pm. Lunch will be provided.
My project consists of cutting down trees,
picking up garbage, raking leaves, and
planting grass seed. Adults and Scouts can
help. Bring Loppers, gloves, long clothes
and saws if you have them.
Call me for questions or if you can attend.
Order of the Arrow Spring Fellowship
Mr. Hank S.
While many of you were out playing around on
the dunes in Michigan, there were three Scouts
and myself at Camp Napawon for the OA Spring
Fellowship Weekend. The Order of the Arrow,
for those who don't know what it is, is an
honorary camping group of the Boy Scouts of
America.
This weekend Stephan S. and Adam S., both
newly elected candidates to the OA, completed
their Ordeal. Kevin K. attended as part of the
Ceremonies Team. I was there to support
Napawon through work projects and to support
the boys while completing their Ordeal.
In addition to the many work projects completed
during work weekend activities, the Lodge had
elections and our very own Kevin K. was elected
Secretary. Congratulations to Kevin on his new
position of responsibility in Lakota Lodge.
Everyone take a minute to congratulate these
three boys on their recent accomplishments.
Also, ask Kevin about his slip of the tongue
during the Ordeal Ceremony. It was something
about scantily clad.
Troop 10 Times - 2
Continued from Page 1, Scoutmaster Minute...
Despite all of the above mentioned adults, the list clearly goes on. Thanks to all of the rest of our active parents,
too. Because of you, we prove over and over that many hands make Troop 10 work. It is an outstanding success
because of all of you.
And finally and perhaps most importantly, thanks to our scouts. I have been blessed with 2 terrific Senior Patrol
Leaders in Matt B. and Carl N. They have each done a wonderful job in leading our boys. They have been
assisted in these efforts by a great team of ASPLs, Patrol Leaders and other scouts. This is truly a great group of
boys and will be outstanding future citizens leaders. I've really enjoyed being a part of it all.
Thanks for 2 great years!
Yours in Scouting,
Ryan J.,
Scoutmaster
Napowan Tips
By Chris G.
Napowan is a lot of fun but also is a lot of work. For me Napowan was the first place I shot a gun, first
time I sailed a boat and the first time for many things. Use Napowan not for just fun but for getting things
accomplished. Napowan offers hundreds of merit badges that usually you wouldn't be able to get. Here are some
tips that you should follow to get the best out of Napowan.
Get the lifesaving and swimming merit badges. These are the most useful merit badges. Many of the high
adventure trips require these merit badges. You can get these back home but they are extremely hard to get.
Napowan makes it easier to get these. You show up for an hour each day for a week and by the end you have it.
You have to get swimming before lifesaving.
Get environmental science. This is another hard merit badge that will be nearly impossible if you do it
alone. This is required for Eagle. This badge is a lot of work but it's more fun to do it at Napowan then in your
spare time at home.
Get canoeing. All of the Scouts will get the opportunity to participate in the high adventure trips that go
up to the boundary waters to canoe for two weeks. This is an amazing trip; I did it the summer of my 8 th grade
year. But in order to go you MUST have the canoeing merit badge. At Napowan it is easy and fun.
By Nate H.
All Scouts should check out www.boyscouts.com . It is an awesome web site. They have tons of cool
photos, and they also have huge quantities of information on Boy Scout-related activities. I learned
about so many celebrities that were Boy Scouts. For example, did you know that President John F.
Kennedy, astronaut Neil Armstrong, and astronaut/senator John Glenn were Scouts? In addition,
Gerald R. Ford - 38th President of the United States was an Eagle Scout. Who knew that Eagle Scout
John Stanford, from Limestone, NY, earned the most merit badges ever! The total was 142 and he had
a total of 8 Silver Palms by his 18th b-day (a Silver Palm is earning merit badges and participating in a
Troop after you receive eagle).
Troop 10 Times - 3
Looking Forward to the New Challenge...
By Tom K., (New) Troop 10 Committee Chairman
As I look back at my previous three years involvement with Troop 10, I can say that the time has really flown by.
When I was asked about my interest in becoming the training chairman for Troop 10 by Mr. J. prior to him
becoming the next Scoutmaster, I felt that the training position would be something of great interest to me. As it
turns out, it lived up to all my expectations and more. I can say that I enjoyed the work and became more involved
with what Scouting is all about. It gave me the opportunity to learn about many of the excellent training courses
offered by the BSA. I was also able to meet many of the Scout parents and tell them about the junior leader and
adult leader training. As I assume my new role as Troop Committee Chairman, I will now have the opportunity to
continue my work with the adult leadership but at a different level. I look forward to this new challenge and role
in Scouting with Troop 10. Not only do I realize the importance of this role to fill, I also visualize that importance
with over 75 years of heritage that Troop 10 has within the community. This is a responsibility that I do not take
lightly. I plan to work hard to fulfill its requirements. My compliments to Mr. Ryan J., Scoutmaster, and to Mr.
George F., Troop Committee Chairman, for two wonderful years of Scouting. They worked together well as a
team. It was also with the strong support of other adults and adult leaders that made these past two years very
successful. I now look forward in working with our new Scoutmaster, Mr. Hank S., as a team and also look
forward to working with many of the same fine leaders and new leaders who have asked to become more involved
with Troop 10 activities and leadership. It's this large and active parent participation that makes Troop 10
successful and provides that no one person gets overly burdened with their position of responsibility. The work is
spread over many active and involved parents.
As I look ahead to the upcoming 2003/2004 Scout year, a number of parents have already come forward to suggest
ideas for new roles and how to make Troop 10 even better. I look forward to working with each of you. If anyone
has any comments or questions over the next several summer months when camping trips take over and the local
Scouting activities becomes less active, I can always be reached on the phone or send me an e-mail.
Have a great summer and good scouting to all!
Tom K.
Order of the Arrow Report
By Kevin K.
The Order of the Arrow Spring Fellowship was held May 15-17. Adam S., Stephan S., Kevin K. and Mr. Hank S.
joined over 300 other Scouts and Scouters in working to better Camp Napowan and at the OA Ceremonies.
Congratulations to Adam S. and Stephan S. who completed their Ordeal and are now full members of the OA.
Kevin welcomed them to the Order as a part of the lodge ceremonies team.
Kevin was elected to the Lodge Key 5 as Secretary, and will need to have another Arrowman replace him as OA
representative for Troop 10. Meetings are only once a month - the next meeting is June 5th at 7:30PM at
Immanual Lutheran in Palatine. Adults as well as youth OA members are encouraged to attend.
If you have any questions, call Kevin.

For those adults who were at the Warren Dunes camp-out and enjoyed the salad, here's the recipe.
It's healthy, tasty, and easy to make. Perfect for summer barbeques. Enjoy!

8 green onions
1 cup slivered almonds

tablespoons of oil, until brown. Remove and set aside. Sauté sesame seed in 1-2 tablespoons of oil, until

Dressing:
1 cup oil
6 tablespoons rice vinegar

A Newsletter for Troop 10 Scouts and Their Families
Troop 10 Times
October 2003
Scoutmaster Minute
By Mr. Hank S., Scoutmaster
The 2003/2004 year is off to a good start. We have had a successful Pool
Party and first campout. In addition to these firsts, we are getting
ourselves organized for the year. Many boys have been elected/appointed
to positions of leadership, with other positions to be filled. I am looking
forward to working with our SPL, ASPL's, PL's and everyone else with
leadership positions as we continue to be a "boy run" troop. It is my
intent to allow the boys to run everything possible. This will require
everyone to do their jobs and lead the troop forward. I know with the
commitment all of the boys have shown 2003 will be another banner year
for Troop 10.
At our first meeting on September 8 th, I was very encouraged to see
everyone in attendance at the meeting. I looked out at the sea of faces, I
saw younger scouts wanting to learn and older scouts who are looking for
opportunities to give back to the Troop. Each of these boys is creating his
life by what he does every day.

The following was sent to me in a recent e-mail and is very appropriate for
this month's SM Minute.
Many of us probably watched Mr. Rogers on TV when we were young.
After he died, Diane Sawyer, of TV's Good Morning America, recalled his
visits as a guest on that show and the words he repeated each time he
departed: "Think about what you're doing today. This isn't just your job.
It your life you're creating."
There's something to that. Each of us creates his life moment by moment,
in the decisions we make and the things we do and the ways we react to
the people we associate with. That's because once we do something one
way we tend to repeat ourselves and we fall into habits.
Sometimes these habits are good and sometimes bad. But good or bad
they become the pattern and the color and the fabric of your life.
The leadership skills, we as parents and leaders of Troop 10, help our boys
develop will carry them on throughout their lives. So as we meet each
week, we need to remember what Mr. Rogers' said: "Think about what
you're doing today. It's your life you're creating." Not only is it our lives
individually we are creating, but we are also helping mold and develop the
lives of our boys.

In Scouts I have learned so many things that I cannot
even begin to count them. The biggest piece of advice to
all of the new scouts just starting up their scouting career,
is to take advantage of the learning opportunities. Just
recently I went sailing with my friend and we flipped the
boat. Thanks to the skills in Napowan, I know how to
sail and turn the boat right side up if it flips. This is just
one example of the many ways that the skills I learned in
scouts have come in handy. Scouts is a priceless
experience that gives you chance to learn new things.
Here are some thoughts about rock climbing; I
am keeping it in mind for the Mississippi Palisades
campout coming up. I wrote an article before about
climbing; here are some tips that will make you a better
climber. Climbing isn't in the arms but the legs. While
climbing you should never be hanging by your arms.
Instead you should have all your weight on your feet. If
you can, use your skeletal system to support yourself.
When hanging hang with a straight arm to transfer the
weight from your muscle to the bone. With climbing
becoming more commercial many rock-climbing places
are getting shut down because they are not
environmentally friendly. That's because too many
people go and leave a mess. When you go climbing on
your own or with the troop do everyone a favor and stay
on the trail, pick up your trash (also others), and respect
others by being quiet and kind. By respecting these
simple ideals will keep climbing areas open for other
people and for yourself.
By Michael R
Troop 10 finally started with our annual trip to the Illinois
Jamboree. Most of us watched the game at the beginning
hoping it would be more suspenseful than last year's game but
it turned out that Illini horribly won the game. If you don't
especially like football there is a lot to do other than football.
Since it is such a large event there is a lot to do, like play on
the inflatable rings. I think most of the junior venture enjoyed
watching Jeff make a fool of himself trying to dance. I really
enjoyed some of the comments people said while watching
him. We also listened to a story of a young black man's
recovery even though society was trying to hold him down, and
obviously at the end he says, "that kid was me". For all of you
who didn't go to the pool with Mr. L shame on you because it
was a blast. The venture also took a tour of the college for a
few hours.
Congratulations to newly elected OA members
Dan Felt, Jeff Russert, Adam Stuchel, Stephan
Scholly and Mr. Ryan Julian on their
completion of their initiation into the Order of
the Arrow. They were elected to this honor
last winter and completed their ordeal (the
initiation process) in the spring and summer.
The other new members who were elected last
winter (Mike H, David H, Brandon R and
Mr. George F) plan on completing their ordeal
at the fall session. They join the current Troop
10 boys that are members of this honor society:

Day is done
Gone the sun
From the lakes
From the hills
From the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.
Fading light
Dims the sight
And a star
Gems the sky
Gleaming bright
From afar
Drawing nigh
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise
For our days
Neath the sun
Neath the stars
Neath the sky
As we go
This we know
God is nigh.

Troop 10 Times - 3
Get Ready for Wreath Sales
The major fund raising event for Troop 10 is the Holiday Greenery sale.
Wreaths and pine roping are sold by the Scouts to relatives, friends and
neighbors. Each Scout keeps about 48% of the gross sales for his
personal scouting account to help offset camping fees and annual
dues. The Troop receives $1 for each item that is sold and the
remainder pays for the cost of the items that are supplied by Hager's
garden company.
Prizes will be awarded to the Scouts and the patrol with the single and cumulat
number of items sold, respectively. Details to follow.
The period of sales starts in early October and ends in early November. Exact dates will be provided when sales packets are
distributed soon. If you have any questions about Wreath sales, please contact Mr. H or Mr. T who oversee the program.
Outing Corner - The "In's and Out's"
by Ron P, Outing Chairman
Well, the scouting year is off to a great start! The end of August many of us enjoyed a beautiful evening of swimming and pizza.
Two weeks later, the Illini Jamboree thrilled us with fireworks, race cars, sky divers, "ultra-light plane" and "Blimp", music, great
food and a BIG win by the Fighting Illini!!!
We are now preparing for our next campout - rock climbing at Mississippi Palisades State Park. This will be the weekend of
October 17 - 19, 2003. We will start out climbing the Twin Sister Peaks, and hopefully, those demonstrating excellent climbing
abilities can "graduate" to the massive challenge of Sentinel Peak. Rick Pelunek will be joining us at this climbing adventure.
Rick is an experienced Mississippi Palisades rock climber. Some of you may remember Rick from Napowan - he was the
Program Director and he was at most of the Flag Ceremonies. Since this is a new rock climbing area, it will be learning
experience for us all. But I'm sure that we will have another memorable campout. Enclosed is the Permission Form for the
Mississippi Palisades Campout. Please note the due date of Saturday, October 11th. Since there is no scout meeting the Monday
before the campout (Columbus Day), please bring the forms to the October 6th scout meeting or mail them to me by October 11th
at the address indicated on the Permission Form
We have two other great outings for the rest of the 2003. These are:
Starved Rock Family Campout: Nov 14 - 16, 2003: Fantastic hiking and scenery!
Hoover Cabin Campout: Dec 6 - 7, 2003: Build and launch model rockets!
Please mark your calendars!
For those families that want to attend the Starved Rock Family Outing, but do not want to challenge the weather, there are hotels
in the nearby towns (sorry, but there are no more rooms available at the Starved Rock Lodge). These local hotels are:
Oglesby (-- 7 miles): Days Inn (I have a few rooms on hold @ —$64 / night for 2 double beds)
Holiday Inn Express: 800-465-4329 or 815-883-3535
Peru (-8 miles): Quality Inn: 800-228-5151 or 815-224-2500
Comfort Inn:800-228-5150 or 815-223-8585
LaQuinta Inn: 800-531-5900 or 815-224-9000
Fairfield Inn: 800-321-2211 or 815-223-7458
Give me a call if you would like to "book" the Days Inn, or feel free to contact any of the other hotels - I'm sure they will have
availability.
Finally, I am trying to update our vehicle information records for those parents who will possibly be driving to any of our
campouts. This is a requirement of the Northwest Suburban Boy Scout Council. For those of you who have not filled out a form
during the last month, please fill out the enclosed form and return it to me (along with the permission form, if you like). Your help
is greatly appreciated.

Troop 10 Committee Chairman's Report
By Tom K
The Key to Success for Troop 10 IS and, HAS BEEN, the large parent involvement and
volunteerism
Over the past several months, I have been heartened by the number of scout parents who have come
forward to offer their services in support of Troop 10. These offerings of services has been anywhere
from helping out with a once a year activity to an ongoing support role with a significant involvement.
Any and all of these positions are important in supporting the troop in some way. Many of the adult
leader positions in the troop have already been filled and a number of positions still remain open. If
any of the adults, both of older and newer scouts would like to become involved or more involved with
Troop 10 activities, I would like to hear from you. I would also encourage parents who received the
parent talent survey to please fill it out and see what areas of scouting may interest you including
taking on the instruction and review of several BSA merit badges. Perhaps your business/professional
background as well as your personal interests and hobbies can be appreciated by a scout who comes to
you to fulfill their requirements for earning merit badges. You can tailor this activity to your own
schedule.
If anyone has any questions regarding becoming an active or more active adult within the troop, please
give me a call or e-mail me and we talk about your interests and how they may help the troop. I can be
reached by phone or via e-mail

Scoutmaster Minute
By Mr. Hank S, Scoutmaster
As I sit down to write my last Scoutmaster's Minute, I do it with
mixed emotions. When I agreed to be Scoutmaster, I was much
honored to be considered an adequate replacement to my
predecessors. Those men who I followed, Ryan J, Vern K and all of
those before my time, left a tough act to follow. I would like to think
that I was able to start filling their shoes in the role, but timing of
events does not allow me to finish the next two years.
I am stepping down as Scoutmaster of Troop 10 effective November
1 s'. I am doing this because Adam is moving to Iowa with his mother.
With Adam being gone, I just don't have the same drive that I had
with him as a part of Troop 10. I therefore felt it was in both Troop
10's and my best interests to step down. I know that my replacement
will carry on the tradition of allowing our boys to grow. Although I
am stepping down as Scoutmaster, I can not totally cut myself off
from the Troop. I will be back periodically to help at meetings and
attend some campouts also.
I have looked back over my years with Troop 10 with pride. I have
had the privilege to work with many of our recent Eagle Scouts on
their projects. I have also had the opportunity to see our younger
scouts advance and continue on their path to Eagle. Troop 10 is so
very fortunate to have boys/young men in the Troop until they reach
the age of 18. This in itself speaks very highly of what we have done
as a Troop. Our programming has been appealing enough to keep the
boys' interest through high school.
One closing item that I want to address is the Troop 10 Leadership.
Dan F, Senior Patrol Leader; Spenser W, Jeff R and Ryan J, Assistant
Senior Patrol Leaders; Daniel S, Chris P, Tom Z, Ryan F, Brian R and
Michael R, Patrol Leaders have gotten the troop off to a tremendous
start this fall. They have all shown outstanding leadership in the first
few weeks of the fall. As the year goes on, I can only see this group
get stronger in their leadership ability. Everyone should be very proud
of this group of boys for the strong role they are taking to make Troop
10 a better troop than before.
Again, I want to thank everyone for their support to both Adam and
myself during our time in Troop 10. For Adam and me, this is a good
bye. We however both would like to come back to visit from time to
time.

It was a small, but enthusiastic group that picked up
the trash alongside the road.
Thanks also to the adult volunteers.
Over at Erehwon, you can buy any type of
camping gear you want. They have a
variety of sleeping bags, camping gear,
shoes, and clothes for the warm and cold
weather. You also get a 10% discount for
being a Boy Scout. This month they have a
lot of discounts. They also have a wide
variety of climbing gear. My experience
with them has been really good. The sales

Our next trash pickup will be in the Spring.

Troop 10 welcomes parent involvement (mom or

Boy Scout training. No, it is not the dreaded 10
hour lecture (New Leader Essentials only takes 2
hours)! On the contrary, all classes involve active
participation. Learn how you can contribute to the
Troop's overall success by getting trained. The
more parents who are qualified the less burden
overall. What YOU get out of it: a big smile on
your son's face and unforgettable memories. I sure
did!
Check out the council's website: www.nwsc.org
and click on the training section. New Leader
Essentials provides you with the basics about
scouting. The next training date is set for
November 20th from 7:30-9:30pm at the
Presbyterian Church of Park Ridge, 1300 W.
Crescent Ave in Park Ridge. Cost is $5 pp, prepay
- registration form is posted on the website at

Troop 10 Committee Chairman's Report
By Tom K
Best wishes to Hank and Adam
I was certainly disappointed to hear that Hank would be
resigning his position as Scoutmaster effective the end of
October once his son Adam moves out of state. Hank and
Adam will still be registered in the troop and plan to participate
at campouts, on occasion, as their schedules permit. I have
known Hank for more than the four months which he was
Scoutmaster. I have known him for the past 3 1/2 years as an
active and involved Assistant Scoutmaster helping the troop in
a variety of ways. His presence has certainly been appreciated
and he and Adam will be missed. I wish Hank and Adam the
best in their future endeavors.
Now the issue at hand... Who will replace Hank? First of all,
I'd like to say that we are very fortunate as a troop to have
several adult leaders who could effectively do a good job in
this position. Already, a number of adult leaders have made
recommendations as to who they feel would make a good
Scoutmaster for our troop. I am going to follow-up and call as
many Committee Members and Assistant Scoutmasters as
possible and listen to what they have to say as far as Hank's
replacement. It would be my intention to have Hank's
replacement announced at the October 27 th Court of Honor
effective November 1st. Hank will be hosting the Court of
Honor. Regardless of how we proceed, I know we will
continue on without "missing a beat". It will be our primary
goal to make this transition as seamless as possible for all of
our Scouts. The Scouts are the reason why we are all here
being involved with our troop.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to call or e-mail
me anytime. I can be reached direct or via e-mail.
Thank You
Scoutmaster Hank S
For all you've done
for us!
We will miss you and Adam and
look forward to your visits!
Best Wishes!
