Triplets taking flight as Eagle Scouts at 14 is something you might only hear about once in a lifetime. Here’s that chance. Identical triplets Kaleb, Malek and Zalen B. of the Central Florida Council earned the Eagle Scout rank at the beginning of July. They’ll receive their Eagle Scout awards tomorrow, and the city of Melbourne is recongizing them Tuesday during a council meeting (including a visit from the city mayor, their mom says). As for their Eagle Scout projects, they kept them in the Scouting family. The triplets renovated their local Girl Scout troops’ Scout house in Melbourne, FL. The project took about three months and drew in fundraising support of $5,000 to cover supply costs.

New | Cub Scout Training | | On Saturday, August 15th, the Mt. Rubidoux/5 Nations District hosted the “Everything You Wanted to Know About the New Cub Scout Program, but were afraid to ask…” training at the LDS Church on Jackson Street in Riverside, CA. The training was organized and conducted by a large group of Scouters including (from left to right) Debb Walker, Denise Pedroza, Noel Williams, Pam Christen, Rick Sidwell, Anastasia Leveck, Sarah Peters, and John Skiff (not pictured, Judy Graeber). The class sessions featured detailed hands-on experience with the individual ranks, group sessions focusing on Pack operations, and a campfire program with skits and fun. Emphasis was given to the new program details at each rank and their coordination with Pack operations and other dens in the unit. Our Bear and Webelos/AOL program team cooked delicious foil-pack lunches and dutch oven pineapple upside down cake, 26 Scouters attended the event. The event would not have been possible without the additional help of Tracy Youden, Brenda Caporaso, Pete Hollenhorst, John Vineyard, Robert Quezada, Diane Skiff, Troop 2, Pack 97, Pack 1230, Pack 116, and the LDS Church on Jackson. We thank you for your support! John D. Skiff, Cubmaster - Riverside Pack 97 | New | Troop 720 "Lived the Adventure” at Camp Raymond, Parks Arizona | | Heading out of town after a 4th of July weekend sometimes can be a chore but not for Troop 720 of Alta Loma. The very next day, July 5th — 31 Scouts and 12 Adults headed for Parks, Arizona to beautiful BSA Camp Raymond. The trip included 104 degree heat in Needles, perfect 72 degrees in Kingman and 62 degree weather in the middle of a monsoon with heavy rain just outside of Parks. The journey finally ended with a beautiful rainbow and sunshine to greet us the very next day. Over 7 days our scouts and adults enjoyed incredible trail hikes, mountain biking, rocking climbing and rappelling, swimming, archery, crafts, shooting sports, scout skills camp-wide competition games and much more. Our scouts and adults earned over 200 merit badges and achievements while having a great time in the beautiful forest. The highlight at the end of the week came to a culmination when our one of our scouts, Jordan Greenstein, was recognized as this being his last official Troop 720 Boy Scout Campout. He will turn 18 at the end of August. Jordan was asked to blow the official Camp Raymond Kudu Horn to signify the end of the session and the close of summer camp for the entire season. What a great honor! This was an exciting camp with awesome staff, tons of activities, well organized and we would certainly recommend it to any troop looking to “Live the Adventure” Allen Greenstein, Scoutmaster, Troop 720 | | Friends Of Scouting Report | | 08/17/2015 | 2015 Goal | 2015 Pledged (Year To Date) | % of Goal | Cash Paid (Year to Date) | # of Donors | Donors Asked | % of Donors Asked | 8/18/2014 Pledged | Tahquitz | $153,000 | $156,165 | 102.1% | $140,433 | 1,854 | 998 | 53.8% | $142,500 | Mt.

There can be no famine while the bread of Heaven endures, and help us to remember that when we are forgetful of Your infinite kindness. How blessed it is to know that we shall not want forever, as You will not allow Your children to go without bread. However long the day, and hard the work, we have the rest and the bounty and the bread. Happy and grateful are we! We have You who plan our daily feast for us. As we eat of the bread of Heaven we shall continue to prosper on earth.
