Quotable:    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

Coming up:

07/11 Mon 7:00p -8:30p  - Troop meeting First Colony Christian Church (across from Clements HS). Class 'B' 
Troop Elections. At this meeting the boys will elect new patrol leaders and elect the senior patrol leader. These are the only elected positions in the troop. In the week following, the new senior patrol leader will work with the scoutmaster to assign the remaining troop leadership positions: scribe, librarian, quartermasters, historian, chaplain aide and bugler. Also, positions of instructor, troop guide and OA representative will be selected as needed.

07/14 7:00p -8:30p - Roundtable Tomahawk District Roundtable meets 2nd Thursday of each month at Stafford Primary School 1625 Staffordshire Rd, Stafford, TX 77477.

07/20 (7:30pm) - Troop Committee meeting at First Colony Christian Church (upstairs), across from Clements HS.  All parents welcome and encouraged to attend.

07/25 Mon 7:00p -8:30p  - Troop meeting First Colony Christian Church (across from Clements HS). Class 'B'

08/05-07 (Fri.6pm-Sun.12pm) - Troop JLT Campout. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT WEEKEND.   All new leaders will be expected to attend this very special, and well-planned campout. Every minute of this weekend is designed by plan to instruct the boys about leadership, their roles in the troop, planning and expectations for their role.  If your son is selected or elected into leadership then attendance at the Troop JLT Campout is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. This campout is very important for several reasons. First, it helps integrate your son into the new leadership. Second, it explains to your son his responsibility to his patrol or the troop. Third, it provides your son with direct access to his Patrol Advisor, and to the adult leadership of the troop. And, finally, it's a fun weekend where your son will learn more about the Scouting program in two days than he's learned to date.  That's my personal guarantee.
So, the bottom line is this for parents. If you son is selected into leadership for the upcoming Fall term, I fully expect them to attend the JLT Campout August 5-7. I'll be there. The patrol advisors will be there. It's important to the success of the troop that your son be there, too.

08/08 (Mon.6-9pm) - Troop "end-of-summer" party at the Raymond home. If you have something that squirts or floats, BRING IT!

Troop Committee Chairman

Troop 1631 members and parents,

In accordance with Troop policy, a special nominating committee recently met to nominate a candidate for the position of Committee Chairman. The members of the subcommittee were Melanie Slagle, Pat Mathews, Vanessa Mao, Jesse Perez, and Debbie Wedelich. The nominating committee unanimously agreed to nominate Kim Icenhower for the position. The committee recommendation was brought before the full Troop Committee at a committee meeting on June 15th at 7:30 at First Colony Christian Church. Kim Icenhower was approved by the Troop Committee, and was recommended to the Charter Organization, The Optimist Club of Sugar Land, for their final approval.

As Troop Charter Organization representative, I am pleased to announce Kim Icenhower as the new Committee Chairman for Troop 1631 effective immediately. I look forward to a smooth transition and a wonderful troop climate under Kim's leadership.

Judy Karonika
Troop Charter Organization representative

Troop 1631 Activities June 27-July 3

Reminder - Troop Meeting this Saturday, from 5:00p -8:00p will be a Water Blast with Cub Pack 631 at First Colony Christian Church. This is a recruiting effort, so a good turnout is needed!

 

The Environmental Science Merit Badge will be offered by the troop this summer, with Assistant Scoutmast Brett Dyer as counselor.  This is an Eagle-required badge that can be difficult to find outside of summer and winter camp. So far three of the older Scouts are signed up.  More are welcome. Please review the merit badge requirements and contact Brett if you are interested.  (It will be left to Brett's experience to determine if some of the scouts might be too young to participate.)

Scoutmasters Minute:  Junior Leadership Training or JLT is conducted twice a year as we rotate leadership positions. The primary Scout position, Senior Patrol Leader, is changed twice a year corresponding to our two terms, Fall and Spring. Twice a year, in January and August, we conduct a special campout for the boys who have accepted leadership positions. During this campout the boys learn how the troop is organized, what their roles are and the boys conduct a long-range planning session for the upcoming 8-12 months. This is a very important training session because it brings the new leadership team together and it instructs each boy about the responsibilities and expectations of his position in the troop.  Please see the August 5-7 calendar entry below.

 

Apologies for the typos in last weeks mailing, where the first four "Coming up" events were listed in July instead of June.  They've been corrected this week.

Junior Leadership Training

Junior Leadership Training

Junior Leadership Training or JLT is conducted twice a year as we rotate leadership positions. The primary Scout position, Senior Patrol Leader, is changed twice a year corresponding to our two terms, Fall and Spring.

Twice a year, in January and August, we conduct a special campout for the boys who have accepted leadership positions. During this campout the boys learn how the troop is organized, what their roles are and the boys conduct a long-range planning session for the upcoming 8-12 months.

This is a very important training session because it brings the new leadership team together and it instructs each boy about the responsibilities and expectations of his position in the troop.

Here are two dates that are very important for boys moving into leadership positions:

July 11: Troop Elections. At this meeting the boys will elect new patrol leaders and elect the senior patrol leader. These are the only elected positions in the troop. In the week following, the new senior patrol leader will work with the scoutmaster to assign the remaining troop leadership positions: scribe, librarian, quartermasters, historian, chaplain aide and bugler. Also, positions of instructor, troop guide and OA representative will be selected as needed.

August 5-7: Troop JLT Campout. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT WEEKEND.

All new leaders will be expected to attend this very special, and well-planned campout. Every minute of this weekend is designed by plan to instruct the boys about leadership, their roles in the troop, planning and expectations for their role.

If your son is selected or elected into leadership then attendance at the Troop JLT Campout is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. This campout is very important for several reasons. First, it helps integrate your son into the new leadership. Second, it explains to your son his responsibility to his patrol or the troop. Third, it provides your son with direct access to his Patrol Advisor, and to the adult leadership of the troop. And, finally, it's a fun weekend where your son will learn more about the Scouting program in two days than he's learned to date.

That's my personal guarantee.

So, the bottom line is this for parents. If you son is selected into leadership for the upcoming Fall term, I fully expect them to attend the JLT Campout August 5-7. I'll be there. The patrol advisors will be there. It's important to the success of the troop that your son be there, too.

Best regards,
Bill Farrell
