Boy Scout Troop 384 Receives 2016 Best of Temecula Award 

 

Temecula Award Program Honors the Achievement

TEMECULA May 18, 2016 -- Boy Scout Troop 384 has been selected for the 2016 Best of Temecula Award in the Community Service category by the Temecula Award Program.

Each year, the Temecula Award Program identifies companies that we believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Temecula area a great place to live, work and play.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2016 Temecula Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Temecula Award Program and data provided by third parties.

About Temecula Award Program

The Temecula Award Program is an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Temecula area. Recognition is given to those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value.

The Temecula Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in our community. Our organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations and other business advertising and marketing groups. Our mission is to recognize the small business community's contributions to the U.S. economy.

National Trails Day

 

The CIEC Outdoor Ethics Committee and Cahuilla Lodge Order of the Arrow together are again promoting the 2016 American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day.

June 4, 2016 is American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day, the country’s largest celebration of trails. National Trails Day events will take place in every state across the country and will include hikes, biking and horseback rides, paddling trips, birdwatching, geocaching, gear demonstrations, stewardship projects and more. America’s 200,000 miles of trails allow us access to the natural world for recreation, education, exploration, solitude, inspiration, and much more. Trails give us a means to support good physical and mental health; they provide us with a chance to breathe fresh air, get our hearts pumping, and escape from our stresses.

If your unit has a conflict with the first Saturday in June, plan your National Trails Day® event for a day or weekend that works best for you.

2017 Saint George Trek

 

Wednesday, July 5, 2017 to Thursday, July 20, 2017

General Information
The Saint George Trek is The National Catholic Committee on Scouting’s® high adventure Catholic leadership program for older Catholic Boy Scouts and Venture Crew members at Philmont Scout Ranch. The program brings Catholic high school youth from around the country together with selected priests, religious and seminarians for eleven days of backpacking in the context of a vocation retreat.

Dates and Itinerary
The 2015 Saint George Trek begins on Wednesday, July 5, 2017 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the participants meet, get to know one another, train, have fun and pray. Then it's off to Philmont Scout Ranch where they will hike the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains. While hiking, they will experience a program that is designed to encourage the integration of morality, values, spirituality, faith, scripture and vocation in their lives as young Catholic Men and Women. Before returning home on Thursday, July 20, 2017, they will be asked to commit their own continued discernment as well as bringing their experiences home to their respective dioceses, so they can become effective peer leaders and role models for their fellow scouts.

Candidate Qualifications/Selection
Each Arch/diocese/Eparchy is encouraged to conduct a search and nominate one or two Boy Scouts or Venture Crew members for participation in the Trek. Because the program can only accommodate seventy youth, only two participants per diocese will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Selection of participants is made by the individual Arch/Diocese and should be made on the basis of demonstrated maturity, physical ability, leadership potential, an interest the life of the Church and an openness to the discernment of vocation.

Candidates should be emotionally mature adolescents who will be fifteen years of age on or before July 1, 2017, in High School, no older than 18 years old, and committed to assist their Catholic Committee when they return home.

Participants must also have the physical health and stamina to backpack on the mountain trails of Philmont. NO exceptions can be made to these expectations and requirements.

A female crew is planned pending sufficient female registration.

The Saint George Trek is a one-time only experience for youth. Previous youth participants are not eligible.
