Crew 11 hosted their first Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) on October 15, 2016 in beautiful Wrightwood, CA. JOTA is the largest scouting event in the world. Over 1 million scouts using 11,000 registered stations from 150 countries are on the air the 3rd weekend in October. Guest host and experienced radio operator, Fred Stieg assisted cubs, scouts, venturers, and adult leaders contact packs and troops nationwide. Everyone got a chance to talk to someone in a different state. It was a great scouting experience for all!

Eerie Emerson Trading Post Update
Imagine my surprise today when I walked to our Trading Post. My windows have security bars on them. My little building is looking more and more like a store. It was a great day at The Trading Post. Eerie Emerson was busy so many Scouts and Family members.
Methe the cutest little girl. I gave her my gold crown. She was so worried I wasn't going to be a princess anymore so I showed her I had a tiara. She dubbed us Princess Pirate and Princess Bubbles. Her smile made this evening the greatest ever. Always a great time working the Trading Post sharing it with Scouts and Their parents and leaders.
It was a GREAT day!
Loving Life At The Trading Post!!!
Best Regards,
Christa 'Bubbles' Jenson Camp Emerson Trading Post Director Everything you need you'll find it, "At The Trading Post."

Scouting Wire
Leaves are falling and in some places SNOW! Scouts are nestled around their campfires and weekend service projects are in high gear.
We wanted to give you a quick update on the recovery effort for the Scouts and Scouters affected by the flooding in Louisiana.
To date, five units in Baton Rouge have had their lost equipment and/or trailers replaced. In Lafayette, one new ScoutReach trailer, 25 tents, and 55 uniforms have been replaced. Dozens of other rebuilding efforts are happening within all of the communities. This has been possible because of the generosity of those alumni who have contributed to the funding efforts to help them rebuild.
The Scouting family cannot thank you enough!
Sincerely,
Dustin Farris ~ Director, National Eagle Scout Association

American Legion: Proud Partners of Scouting
“Veterans. Defense. Youth. Americanism. Communities.” This description closely aligns with Scouting. And that’s only where our similarities begin. In addition to being the nation’s largest veteran’s service organization...
As you think about the things you might want for your son, think of this list of possibilities. This list of amazing experiences reported by my Scout friends is just a sample of the fun adventures and character-building trials...
"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. And kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you will renew the face of the earth.
Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. Amen.
