TRAIL BOSS LETTER
Yetta Hey!
First off, I hope all Adventure Princess Families had a great Thanksgiving. It’s hard to believe this is my
final month as the trail boss. It has had its challenges but I wouldn’t have changed it for a moment. I
also want to take this opportunity to wish all Adventure Princess families Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas,
Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year to all may 2016 be great and fill your time with plenty of lasting
memories.
The month of November had a few things the Overnighter at the Strongsville Rec Center, which I am sure
the dads and girls had fun. We also had the North Royalton Christmas Parade, where the girls helped
welcome Santa to the area.
It is also time for us to start focusing on next year main event Mardi Gras, this event is what helps keep
the costs down for all events, including in the past having some events free. So make sure you sell the
raffle tickets, and dance tickets can be gotten from any officer. They are 1 for $25.00 or 2 for $40.00.
Raffle tickets are $5.00 each with the winner getting a very nice cash prize. There are also chances for
your outpost to earn cash for your wampum’s by selling your outposts minimum of tickets and also selling
ads can add to it, once your ticket amount has been sold. See the attached flyer about it for more
information. I cannot STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS EVENT, without a good year, events would
have to be trimmed or removed and costs for each event would have to increase. So sell, sell, sell and
let’s have a great Mardi Gras and a great 2016 year.
Yetta Hey! Friends Always,
Wes, Sierra, and Mackenzie Brown

Consider Being An Officer for 2016!!!!!!
To All Princess Dads,
Please consider being an officer for 2016. Nominations Started in September and most of the positions are
open for 2016, meaning that dads in good standing with the organization can run for election (or audition in
the case of the Storyteller position). Even if someone else is running for a given position, if you are
interested in it – run for it! Having more people running makes it more fun for everyone. Listed below are
the names of each position with a brief description of what it entails. If you would like to know more, feel
free to ask current or former officer about their experiences.
Elections are held at the December Frontier meeting. See Dan McCoy or Wes Brown to nominate
someone to run for a position. I hope you’ll consider it!
Thanks, Dan McCoy (2016 Trail Boss)

Officer Expectations
So, you think you might like to be an officer! You might ask “what does that mean?” “What
is expected of me if I were to become an officer?” In anticipation of those questions, here
is a brief summary of the general expectations of any officer, regardless of the position that
you might hold. (Check the Princess Member Handbook for specific detailed responsibilities
for each officer position).
If you have questions, feel free to contact me or any officer to find out more. I hope you
join us!
Thanks,
Dan McCoy, 2016 Trail Boss
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Excerpts from officer expectations and conduct guidelines)

You represent the organization as an officer at all times; both at and away from Princess
Events you are viewed by others as representing the group. Set the right example at all
times

You have a duty to support the organization in decisions both big and small. What is right
for the program, and what is right for the kids should guide us in making the right
decision. It is our duty to preserve this program that we currently enjoy, for the benefit
of those that will come in later years.

Throughout the year all officers have assigned responsibilities. Some are clearly stated
in the handbook and by-laws and some are not. Regardless of where the assignment
comes from – whether it is voluntary or a requirement of your elected position – we are
all counting on you to meet your commitment.

It is the responsibility of all officers to attend all Officer and Frontier meetings. Be
prepared to discuss any action items that you might have. Territory Scouts should be
prepared to speak on behalf of their Territories.

There are a number of events during the year where support from the general officer
group is needed in order to be successful. The Mardi Gras fundraiser, the Guides Night
at the Races, and supporting the council fires at campouts are several of the main ones.
Even though you might not be the specific officer assigned to coordinate the event, we
will all need to pitch in to make sure things run smoothly.

Future officers: We need your help in identifying possible candidates for future officer
positions. Without good leadership going forward, the organization will eventually fail.
We need to make sure that does not happen.
SKY TERRITORY
Night Owls
Yetta Hey from the Mighty Night Owls,
We had an awesome time in Power Town at our last fall camp. These last 4 years have flown by. I was looking at
some photos from our first Father/Daughter dance and how young our little Princesses were back then. Look at
them now, WOW, they have become beautiful young ladies, who will now move into the next chapter in their
lives. Some will move onto Senior Princesses, others to their next sport or activity. The girls will always cherish
the time they were able to spend with their dads, and the dads will cherish watching the girls and grow mature. We
will always have those wonderful memories to look back on. It has been a pleasure being a part of such a great
tribe. The dads and daughters have made and will keep many friendships that we would never have made but for
the Adventure Princesses. Thanks to all of the officers over the last four years, without their dedication, none of us
would have the memories that were created. We got to see our daughters ride in a limo, lip sync “pontoon”, make
and race countless boats and cars, ride horses, go on ghost marches and have fun staying up late at all the camps,
(“DAD…”, “…WHICH DAD?”). We would like to welcome in the New Sky Territory and wish them as many
happy times and memories as we had.
Thanks to all the Night Owls. DON & OLIVIA, WES & SIERRA, BERT & SARAH, WAYNE & JULIANNA,
JIM & GRACE, BRIAN & MADISON, SAM & MAYA, DON & DESTINY, DAN & VICTORIA, NOAH &
SOPHIA.

Sequoias
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope it was enjoyable. The Sequoias had lots of fun at the skating event. Dads and
daughters made it around the rink without many issues or injuries. The overnighter was a great amount of fun. The storyteller
and the soon to be firemaker gave a taste to all the new Adventure Princesses of what to expect over the next year. Lots of
food was devoured along with some great movies being seen. Coming up will be the last parade of 2015. Hope to see
everyone there.
Bear Clan Update
Aneen Neeshee, (Hell-o my friends). The Bear Clan took time out from selling Mardi Gras Raffle Tickets and
Advertisements to enjoy the November's Family Skate and Overnighter. It was fun to welcome the new Sky Territory
members at the Overnighter. We are looking forward to the Holiday season with the North Royalton Christmas Parade,
Festival of Fluff and Christmas Party. We hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Friends Always!
Megwetch (Thank you), Bear Clan
Princess Grizzlies
The Grizzly Grapevine - The Grizzlies are ramping up for a long long night of movies, swimming and junk food. It has been
a while since we got assembled in mass and we looking forward to a growling great time. A sprinkle of Grizzly princesses
attended the Car Rally and Family Skate, and I hear they were both plenty of fun. After the Overnighter, on comes a very
busy holiday season. For lack of anything else to report - I give to you The Grizzly Top-5 Thankful List.
5) Never having to follow up on 2015 Mardi Gras, ever again
4) Never having to lug around the Trailboss Trophy, ever again
3) The endless time and talents of the officers
2) Endless fun and treasured memories
1) Simply the best daughters, not so bad dads
Happy Thanksgiving Indian Princesses! - Grizzly Breath Out
Fearless Fawns
Yetta Hey! Greetings from the Fearless Fawns. It's been a quiet fall on the Princess front. Most of our girls were heavily
involved in school sports and other activities. But we were able to make it to a few events. Last month some of the ladies and
dads enjoyed camp and the car rally. Last week a couple of us got to attend family skate night. The over nighter is coming up
and the Christmas party is right around the corner. We're preparing to enter our final year of the Adventure Princesses. So
we're all gonna try to make as many events as possible and really enjoy the time with our daughters. See you at the next
event. FRIENDS ALWAYS!

November seemed to fly by, but we still managed to enjoy all the events that were available. Nobody broke an ankle at the
Family Skate, the girls stayed up late and punished their Dads at the Overnighter, and the Christmas Parade was a great way
to kick off the holiday season! Can’t believe it’s almost Christmas!
See you at the Christmas Party!
Friends Always!
The Sunflowers
The Family Skate and the overnighter was fun, looking forward to the Christmas Party

The Family Skate was a blast, at the Overnighter we had a splashing good time. Who stayed up all
night? We tried but almost made it to the end. Looking forward to seeing Santa Claus at the
Christmas Party. Maybe Frosty shows up also, HA.

Water Territory Report:
Water Sprites
November started with the Family Skate and was a lot of fun. A few girls are clearly learning as these years go on
and now skating solo.
Then on to one of our favorite events the Overnighter. Girls had a blast swimming and judging our inaugural
cannonball competition. Snacks and movies were great!
Christmas Parade was nice seeing a total of nine Water Sprites representing. It was a bit cold but the girls had fun
handing out candy as well as eating donuts and hot chocolate at the end. Four of the Water Sprites went up on
stage to do the countdown with the Mayor to light the Christmas Lights this year!
Dancing Water
Nothing to report.
Amadahy Angels
The Angels headed out to the family skate early in November followed by the annual Overnighter at the Strongsville
Recreation Center. Plenty of movies, swimming and junk food until the wee hours of the morning. An official
Angels welcome to Mark Lefton and his daughter Miranda who officially joined the Angels this month. Welcome
Mark and Miranda!
Lastly, we braved the cold in order to see Santa and to grab some hot chocolate and donuts at the North Royalton
Christmas Parade in order to complete our beloved hamburger patch.
Yetta Hey!
Friends Always!

Soaring Phoenix
Soaring Phoenix had a great time at the Overnighter. There isn't a movie after Inside Out? I thought
this was an all-nighter, not just until 3:30. Just joking - great job by all the officers involved.
The SPARKS
The Sparks had a great time at the fall events, we really enjoyed roller skating with new friends and the
overnighter! Who knew we could stay awake until 4am learning the"bumblebee song" along with "mashed
potatoe!" We can't believe the Christmas parade is around the corner, this has been such a great first year! Until
next time...

Here is how the parade patch will look if you attend all 2015 parades:
The Snow Sister
Storyteller Story
One afternoon of a cold winter's day, two children asked their mother if they could run out and play in the new-fallen snow. The
older child was a little girl, so tender and modest that every one called her Violet. The boy was called Peony because of his fat,
round face which made everybody think of sunshine and scarlet flowers.
The children lived in the city and had no wider play place than a little garden before the house, divided from the street by a white
fence. The pear and plum trees, and the rose bushes in front of the parlor window were covered with white, with here and there an
icicle for the fruit. It was a pleasant place to play. Their mother bundled them up in woolen jackets and wadded sacks, and a pair of
striped gaiters on each little pair of legs, and worsted mittens on their hands. Out they ran, with a hop-skip-and-jump, into the heart
of a huge snowdrift. When they had frosted one another all over with handfuls of snow, Violet had a new idea.
"Let us make a girl out of snow," she said. "It shall be our little sister and shall run about and play with us all winter long!"
"Oh, yes!" cried Peony. "And mother shall see it."
"Yes," Violet answered. "Mother shall see the new little girl. But she must not make her come into the warm parlor, for our little
snow sister will not love the warmth." So the children began this great business of making a snow sister that should run about.
Violet told Peony what to do, while with her own careful fingers she shaped all the nicer parts of the snow figure. It seemed, in fact,
not so much to be made by the children as to grow up under their hands as they were playing and talking about it. Their mother,
who was sitting at the window, watched them. The longer she looked, the more and more surprised she grew.
"What remarkable children mine are!" she said to herself. "What other children could have made anything so like a little girl's
figure out of snow at the first trial?"
"Peony, Peony!" cried Violet to her brother, "bring me some of that fresh snow from the farthest corner where we have not been
trampling. I want to make our little snow sister's dress with it. You know it must be white, just as it came out of the sky."
"Here it is, Violet!" Peony said as he came floundering through the drifts. "Here is the snow for her dress. Oh, Violet, how beautiful
she begins to look!"
"Yes," Violet said thoughtfully and quietly, "our snow sister does look very lovely. I did not know, Peony, that we could make such
a sweet little girl as this. Now bring me those light wreaths of snow from the lower branches of the pear tree. You can climb up on
a snowdrift and reach them. I must have them to make some curls for our little snow sister's head."
"Here they are, Violet," answered the little boy. "Take care you do not break them. Oh, how pretty!"
"We must have some shining little bits of ice to make the brightness of her eyes. She is not finished yet," Violet went on.
"Here they are," cried Peony. "Mother, Mother! Look out and see what a nice little girl we have made!"
Their mother put down her work for an instant and looked out of the window. She was dazzled by the sun that had sunk almost to
the edge of the world so she could not see the garden very distinctly. Still, through all the brightness of the sun and the snow, she
saw a strange, small white figure in the garden. Peony was bringing fresh snow, and Violet was molding it as a sculptor adds clay
to his model.
"They do everything better than other children," their mother thought. "No wonder they make better snowmen."
She sat down again to her work, and Violet and Peony talked about what a nice playmate their little snow sister would be for them
all winter. Suddenly Violet called out joyfully:
"Look, Peony! Come quickly! A light has been shining on her cheek from that rose-colored cloud, and the color does not go away."
"And look, Violet!" Peony answered. "Oh, look at her hair! It is all like gold."
"Oh, of course," Violet said. "That color, you know, comes from the golden clouds. She is almost finished now. But her lips must
be very red. Let us kiss them, Peony!"
Just then there came a breeze of the pure west wind blowing through the garden. It sounded so wintry cold that the mother was
about to tap on the window pane to call the children in, when they both cried out to her with one voice:
"Mother, Mother! We have finished our little snow sister and she is running about the garden with us!"
"They make me almost as much of a child as they," the mother said. "I can almost believe now that the snowgirl has really come to
life." She went to the door and looked all over the garden. There was no gleam or dazzle now on it and she could see very well.
What do you think she saw there? Why, if you will believe me, there was a small figure of a girl dressed all in white, with rosy
cheeks and golden curls, playing with Violet and Peony. She was none of the neighboring children. Not one had so sweet a face.
Her dress fluttered in the breeze; she danced about in tiny white slippers. She was like a flying snowdrift.
"Who is this child?" the mother asked. "Does she live near us?"
Violet laughed that her mother could not understand so clear a matter. "This is our little snow sister," she said, "whom we have just
been making."
At that instant a flock of snowbirds came flitting through the air. As was very natural, they avoided Violet and Peony. But - and this
looked strange - they flew at once to the white-robed child, lighted on her shoulder, and seemed to claim her as their friend.
The little snow sister was as glad to see these birds, old Winter's grandchildren, as they were to see her, and she welcomed them by
holding out both of her hands. They tried to all alight on her ten small fingers and thumbs, crowding one another with a great
fluttering of wings. One snowbird nestled close to her heart and another put its bill to her lips.
Just then the garden gate was thrown open and the children's father came in. A fur cap was drawn down over his ears and the
thickest of gloves covered his hands. He had been working all day and was glad to get home. He smiled as he saw the children and
their mother. His heart was tender, but his head was as hard and impenetrable as one of the iron pots that he sold in his hardware
shop. At once, though, he perceived the little white stranger, playing in the garden, like a dancing snow wraith with the flock of
snowbirds fluttering around her head.
"What little girl is that," he asked, "out in such bitter weather in a flimsy white gown and those thin slippers?"
"I don't know," the mother said. "The children say she is nothing but a snowgirl that they have been making this afternoon."
As she said this, the mother glanced toward the spot where the children's snowgirl had been made. There was no trace of it—no
piled-up heap of snow - nothing save the prints of little footsteps around a vacant space!
"Nonsense!" said the father in his kind, matter-of-fact way. "This little stranger must be brought in out of the snow. We will take
her into the parlor, and you shall give her a supper of warm bread and milk and make her as comfortable as you can." But Violet
and Peony seized their father by the hand.
"No," they cried. "This is our little snow girl, and she needs the cold west wind to breathe."
Their mother spoke, too. "There is something very strange about this," she said. "Could it be a miracle come to the children through
their faith in their play?"
The father laughed. "You are as much a child as Violet and Peony," he said. Then he reached out his hand to draw the snow child
into the house.
As he approached the snowbirds took to flight. He followed the snow child into a corner where she could not possibly escape. It
was wonderful how she gleamed and sparkled and seemed to shed a glow all around her. She glistened like a star, or like an icicle
in the moonlight.
"Come, you odd little thing," cried the honest man, seizing the snow child by her hand. "I have caught you at last and will make
you comfortable in spite of yourself. We will put a nice new pair of stockings on your feet and you shall have a warm shawl to
wrap yourself in. Your poor little nose, I am afraid, is frost bitten. But we will make it all right. Come along in."
So he led the snow child toward the house. She followed him, drooping and reluctant. All the glow and sparkle were gone from her.
"After all," said the mother, "she does look as if she were made of snow."
A puff of the west wind blew against the snow child; she sparkled again like a star.
"That is because she is half frozen, poor little thing!" said the father. "Here we are where it is warm!"
The little white maiden looked sad and drooping as she stood on the hearth rug. The heat of the stove struck her like a pestilence.
She looked wistfully toward the windows and caught a glimpse, through its red curtains, of the snow-covered roofs, the frosty stars
and the delicious intensity of the cold night.
The mother had gone in search of the shawl and stockings, and Violet and Peony looked with terror at their little snow sister.
"I am going to find her parents," said the father, but he had scarcely reached the gate when he heard the children scream. He saw
their mother's white face at the window.
"There is no need of going for the child's parents," she said.
There was no trace of the little white maiden, unless it were a heap of snow which, while they were gazing at it, melted quite away
upon the hearth rug.
"What a quantity of snow the children brought in on their feet," their father said at last. "It has made quite a puddle here before the
stove."
The stove, through the glass of its door, seemed to grin like a red-eyed demon at the mischief which it had done, for the story of the
snow sister is one of those rare cases where common sense finds itself at fault.

Rules of the Outpost of the Year Trophy/Participation Trophy
There have been many issues lately on what you can and cannot do with this trophy so I am going to list some of
the do’s and don’ts when it comes to this trophy. This trophy and the FUN of trying to steal it has been a tradition
for many years in the Adventure Princesses, remember it is all in good fun when it comes to being the guardian of
the trophy and the punishment if lost.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
The Do’s
Guard The trophy
The trophy must be stolen while unattended.
The trophy must be brought to all events except for parades, and a few others if unsure ask.
The trophy while at all events must be out in open
Have someone watch the trophy
Have fun with having it
If the trophy is requested by the Trail Boss it must be handed over.
If the trophy is stolen the group that stole it must follow the rules also.
The Don’ts
1. You can’t steal the trophy while it is in someone hand, the trophy must be taken while it is unattended.
2. You can’t lock up/ tie down/ secure the trophy while at events so you don’t have to watch it.
3. You can’t keep the trophy in a car or place where cannot give someone the opportunity to steal it back,
exception at camp it can be stored in the cabin during bed time.
4. No ripping the trophy from the hands of an individual or child
I hope this helps everyone understand the do’s and don’ts of this trophy
Thanks Wes Brown
