***Patrol Leader Elections on January 8. A Scout must be Star to run. Patrols will be rearranged to balance them out.****

 

NOVEMBER CAMP. Lake Altus was home to the last camp of the year 2001. Great food was plentiful and pretty good food weather made an enjoyable weekend. The scouts did a service project for the wildlife management ranger by gathering seeds for planting this spring to increase bio diversity in a field that was damaged by construction. Most of the scouts did a little rappelling and our guests from Pack 21 had a great time going over the cliff on a rope. JT and SF scrambled up the rocks with Flip. Best campsite was the Inuit Patrol.

 

SWIM MEET. The 12 Scouts and a few parents who braved the weather saw a great swim meet. The Championship was won in the final event by the Maya patrol (winning the title by 1 point). No Apache Patrol (defending champions). There will be no recount. Duplicating a feat done only once before, Michael Wood swam by himself for the Maya Patrol and won the overall title. Individual winners were Michael Wood in the breast stroke, Michael Wood in the free style, and Michael Wood in the back stroke.

 

Alumni in the News. John Filipowicz (SPL, Eagle) won first place in the pole vault for the Coast Guard Academy in its initial track meet of the year.
