After a night at Harrison Hospital, he is coming home

Andrew and Luke were riding bikes in the Illahee preserve on Wednesday afternoon when Andrew took a spill and went flying off his bike. Turned out he broke his femur in his right leg, Yes, that's the leg he wears his prothesis on, If you can believe that. Total compound fracture, just snapped in two. He had surgery in 2000 where they had to sever his femur and rotate his lower leg and put in a plate with 5 screws. This is where it snapped in two, right at the base of the existing plate. That has to be removed and a special longer locking plate installed. Luke called 9-1-1 and led the paramedics to where Andrew was. Thank goodness he had his phone. He was the little hero in all this.

It’s time to check out troops– and Camping is the best way to really evaluate a troop! Webelos (both I and II) are invited to come out on Saturday, November 7th to participate in a host of activities ranging from pioneering practice to orienteering to first aid– If you want to stay the night, then you are welcome to participate in a typical boy scout campout (complete with Camp Fire!)

Moved to Nov 9th, to start the meeting our newest wood badge graduate is being 'beaded' - in recognition of having completed his ticket. The pair of small wooden beads, one on each end of a leather thong (string), is worn around the neck as part of the Scout uniform. The beads are presented together with a taupe neckerchief bearing a tartan patch of the Maclaren clan, honoring William De Bois Maclaren, who donated the funding to purchase Gilwell Park in 1919. The neckerchief with the braided leather woggle (neckerchief slide) denotes the membership of the 1st Gilwell Scout Group or Gilwell Troop 1. Recipients of the Wood Badge are known as Wood Badgers or Gilwellians.

For those who didn't know, Luke P. had a very serious intestinal blockage that required surgery early on Friday morning- he is doing fine now and recovering in the ICU at the Bremerton Naval Hospital- in fact his dad says that he can't wait to pass gas as the Doctor's won't allow him to eat solid food until he does. We will have a card to sign at the meeting Monday night.

OMG what a view, as 7 scouts posed victoriously atop 12,281' Mt Adams- the trek started at 5,800 feet at Cold Springs campground- had the boys hike up to the lunch counter (9,000') to camp the night before pushing on to summit the following day. Our thanks to Doug, Spud and Bob for being our guides for a truly memorable experience- our new rallying cry- St Helen's in 2010! after that Rainier!
