Reminder - Scouting Heritage recap, and homework, due 2/28

At the gym night on 2/21 we experienced several historical games that were commonly played in the early days of scouting, including Stick Wrestling, Wobbly Platforms, and Deer/Hunters. Scouts who missed this gym night must meet with Mr. Chase on 2/28 for a review and further assignment.

A reminder, the following homework is due on Monday. February 28th

New work due 2/28

• All Scouts must review the Troop 2 History information on the website (address above) and record 4 facts about the Troop for discussion on 2/28

• Several interviews are incorporated in this badge. If a member of your family was in Scouting, please ask them to discuss their experiences with your son. We will be drafting a set of questions to use for interviewing at the meeting on 2/28. All Scouts should be considering the questions they would ask someone who has been a Scout, including their recollections of Scouting in their era, etc.

Previous homework (due by 2/28)

• Some scouts did not turn in their work for Requirement 4b on 2/14 – as a reminder, scouts must review the website for the National Scouting Museum, and prepare a paragraph about why this museum is important to Scouting. I also encourage the scouts to write to the address provided, asking for more details to help them work on this badge and specifically this requirement. Instructions are included in a previous note and on the website.

Scouts will likely receive a patch in the packet sent to them by the museum. For more details on this homework, please check the previous BLOG entry.



Ongoing assignment (due 3/7)

• Scouts should be assembling their collections of Scout related materials, which will be due at the meeting on March 7
