Announcing the New & Improved 2016 Camp Card Campaign!

 

Camp Cards are a discount card for vendors’ products or services.
They are specific to your city with the discounts listed on each card.
Each unit can order cards for any city so if family/friends live in another town, you can sell them a card for their location.
This is the quickest and easiest way to raise funds for your Scouts’ needs.

Each card sells for $10.00.
The unit gets $ 4.50 from each sale with the balance going to the producer of the cards and to council.
That means if a Scout sells 20 cards, $90 stays with the unit.
These cards are annual discounts and are good for the whole year.

These cards can be ordered/requested starting NOW with your unit receiving them by March 1st.  Anticipate the number of cards wanted and place your order.

A $50 deposit is required at time of order and will be applied against your total order.  All money is to be turned in by May 31st. Unsold cards are to be returned at this time though the unit may purchase the cards and continue to sell during the year.

Scout Sunday, February 7th - Call to Worship

 

  1. Praise the Lord! O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! (Psalm 106:1)
  2. The Lord is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. (Psalm 145:18)
  3. But they who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
  4. God calls us together to worship this morning. From our work and play within the world, God gathers us to give thanks for creation's goodness, for the strength to labor, for the wisdom to relax.

From amidst our friends and family, God brings us here to participate in a community of faith, Christ's people, a new family. From everyday conversations, talks, and chatter, God invites us to engage one another in dialogue, to speak in truth from the depths of heart and mind, to pray freely. Let us heed God's call and rejoice in what God enables. Let us pray together.

Eagle Scout to Build Outdoor MVHS Fitness Training Area

 

Triston Muzic, 16, of Murrieta, is currently working to obtain the rank of Eagle Scout. Courtesy photoAt just 16-years-old, Triston Muzic has already been involved in scouting for more than 10 years. He is currently working toward obtaining the position of Eagle Scout – the highest rank a scout can achieve. In addition to his passion for scouting, Muzic, who is a junior at Murrieta Valley High School, is also a member of his high school’s Marine Corps JROTC program.

Always resourceful and willing to multitask, in planning his Eagle Scout project, Muzic chose a project that could not only satisfy his love for scouting but his pride for the JROTC and the military as well. He chose a two-part project, deciding to build an outdoor physical fitness training area for his school’s JROTC program as well as a memorial for two Murrieta Valley High School Alumni who were killed in Afghanistan.

Muzic has already started obtaining the necessary supplies and begun building everything necessary for the fitness training area. The JROTC project will include exercise stations with pull-up bars, dip bars, concrete steps for running up and down, a grassy turf area for ground-based exercises and a 40-foot storage container to hold and secure JROTC equipment.

Positive Quote & Prayer
--------------------------------

“A boy carries out suggestions more wholeheartedly when he understands their aim.”

    ~  Baden-Powell

 

Dear Father in heaven, we may come to you, for you have counted us as your children.

Our hearts long to come to you, our God and Savior. May your Word bless us and restore us. Give us courageous hearts to bear the distress of our times.

Let a light arise in our days so that people care about your will. Then the need on earth shall come to an end, your name shall be honored, and your will be done. Lord God, you alone are our help.

Be merciful to us. Stretch out your hand so that all people may turn to you and to your commandments, and your will may be done on earth.

Amen.
