Die
Lahnpriaten discovered C-30-05
Heute auf der Rückfahrt von Beindersheim Richtung
Gießen in
diesem TB Hotel vorbeigeschaut. Da man ja aber nicht alle TB`s
mitnehmen kann muß man sich eine raussuchen und den Rest
discovern. Wünschen allen TB`s noch eine Gute Reise und das
sie
alle ihr Ziel erreichen.

New Life for Old Friends
Getting
your hiking boots resoled
Most
scouts seem to grow a shoe size every time they visit the refrigerator.
They never have a pair of hiking boots long enough to wear
them out. On the other hand, most scouters don't grow
the same way that scouts do (we'll leave it at that) and can keep the
same set of boots for a long time.
If the tread on your boots is getting bald, you might consider having
them
resoled. Rocky Mountain Resole
has equipment to resole most
major brands of hiking shoes. The cost to resole a 10 year
old pair of Raichle boots
(pictured below) was about $65, minor repairs to the upper were an
additional $35.

Rocky Mountain Resole
specializes in the new models of hiking boot soles with molded sole,
cement construction. Much of our equipment is a duplication of
machinery used in boot manufacturing which enables us to duplicate the
original construction of the boot. |

travel the world looking for adventure,

Va Va Va Voom's
"Mission"
Geocaching
is a treasure hunt
using the internet and a GPS receiver instead of a map. Enthusiasts
will hide caches
of interesting things and publish their GPS coordinates on a website http://geocaching.com.
Other geocachers will look up the location of caches near
where they live or travel and go vist them.
A travelbug
is an object you leave in a geocache. It's attached to a
metal dog tag with a serial number that allows you to track its
movement as geocachers move it from one cache to another.
Travelbugs
typically have a name, description, and mission which help geocachers
decide where to leave them next . . . sometimes.
Last month, Venturers at the Silver V weekend had a brief introduction
to geocaching that included setting up and releasing several
travelbugs. You can read about these bugs and their missions
by clicking on the scout patches (left and right) to visit their
webpages on geocaching.com.
They will also be followed in the Geocaching
Report near the top of the left column of this page.
For more information about geocaching and travelbugs, visit geocaching.com,
check out the geocaching
and travelbug
pages on this website, or check out the article
on geocaching in the May-June issue of Scouting magazine. |

Completes a Tour of the United States
| I'm
in a race to visit four states. One
state must be on the east coast and one state must be a west cost
state. My final destination is Columbus, OH. Please help me on my way!
This is a scouting project and my son who is 9 years old will be
following it's progress! Thanks! |
SuperBug's
Mission
A
little over a
year ago, Mark Toeniskoetter of Pack 365 (currently Troop 243) released
a travelbug as part of geocaching activity sponsored by Buckeye
District. The object was to see whose travelbug could visit a
state on the west coast, one on the east coast and return first to
Columbus. This past weekend, Mark's entry -- SuperBug
-- returned to Columbus after
traveling over 4600 miles. You can trace SuperBug's travels
using Google
Maps.

Let's
Welcome Stacey Northrup
2008's
Camp Director

Lazarus' Cub & Webelos Resident Camps
I
am excited to
annouce that Doug Maden, Director of Support
Services, has selected Stacey Northrup to be our Camp Director this

you that don't know Stacey, she
comes to us from Chief Tahre District where she has put together a
successful

enthusiasm and
experience will help further the success of our Cub/Webelos Resident
Camp.
Boy
Scouts and Venturers:
If
you have not
submitted your application for employment,
time is running out. Stacey
is on top of
her game and is in the middle of staff interviews.
Webelos Den
Leaders:
If you have not
yet registered for this year's Webelos
Resident Camp, you have 4 to choose
from, but don't dally. With
Double
Knot,
you are able to sign up for the programs/activity badges your den would
like to
work on...but space is limited. The
sooner you register, the more choices you have.
It's going to
be a great summer. Looking
forward to seeing you at Camp
Lazarus.....the fun will be had in “olympic
proportions”
