This is the only District Camporee in 2010. Don't miss it!!

Lord Baden-Powell described Scouting as "a game with a purpose." The District Camporee Committee wants to see every Scout and Venture unit in the Old Pueblo District represented this year. Our committee is working hard to make the 2010 Xtremoree the most rewarding and exciting Camporee ever. The games are full of fun and adventure, appealing to scouts on physical, mental, and team-building levels--"games with a purpose." We are planning new round robin events and activities that depart from our standard Camporee format. This is especially important to those Scouts that have been to other district Camporees and would enjoy something new and different. Our goal is to have the best and largest Camporee ever. To accomplish that, we need you and your unit to be there and get involved.

This Camporee offers Scouts and their units many opportunities to expand their Scouting skills through physical and mental agility, resourcefulness, team participation and personal reflection. This year's Xtremoree is a challenging and fun way to help your unit become a quality unit and more involved in district events.

We Look forward to seeing you there.

You can earn the NEW Scout News Reporter Patch

Scouting benefits our local communities in many ways. Through Eagle Scout projects, food drives, and Good turn for America projects to name a few. The problem, most of our communities don�t know this. Scouts meet in church basements and camp in the woods. We are not visible enough to the public. Its time we change this and help reintroduce scouting to our local communities. To aid this, the Catalina Council is introducing a new program, the News Reporter. For this program, every time a unit performs some kind of community service project, they should either invite the media or take pictures of the event themselves and send the pictures plus a supporting article to the press. Every time a scout gets an article published in a newspaper, magazine, TV or radio they are eligible to receive the Scout News Reporter patch.

Congratulation on the our new Eagle Scouts

The Old Pueblo Advancement Committee would like to announce that we have nine new Eagle Scouts. These nine Scouts passed their Eagle Board of Review on Feb. 18, 2010. Congratulations and we wish each of you much success in your future.

"Hats Off" to our district dinner committee. They did a great job this year, providing our district with a wonderful Scouting evening. This year was a record turnout! We had over 170 people enjoyed delicious food, beautiful decor, and great entertainment that provided laughs for all.

Keep your eyes open for those outstanding individuals who deserve to be nominated for the coming year. A minimum of five years service on the District level is suggested. Nominations will be called for after the first of next year.

2010 Historical Merit Badge Program

You can now earn Tracking, Pathfinder, Carpentry, and Signaling Merit Badges

Merit badges have been a fixture of the Boy Scouts of America since its inception in 1910. The requirements that generations of boys have completed have taught lifetime citizenship lessons, personal fitness habits, and life skills. They have been the beginnings of countless careers and lifetime hobbies. In the last 99 years there have been many changes in the merit badge offerings. As society has changed, the Boy Scouts of America has adapted by revising the requirements, implementing name changes, and in some instances, eliminating some badges altogether.

For the 100th Anniversary celebration four vintage merit badges are being released for the Centennial Year only, giving Boy Scouts the hands-on opportunity to experience the exciting past of BSA.
