2020 Freeze out

2/2/2020

 
Early in the morning on January 25, a cranky crew of scouts headed up to Bolton for the annual Mayflower council freeze out. From the beginning, the spirit of competition was in the air. Activities started early on Saturday as some other troops stayed over Friday night. The first event was the fire-making challenge. As a perennial powerhouse, a third-place finish might indicate failure for troop 1 but the potential of the troop shines bright, with Daniel and Kyle able to complete the challenge without using matches, a difficult task for two chicken tendies. As the competitions continued two scouts found themselves particularly dominant in the two-man saw. Owen and Niall worked together and captured a first-place finish, the first of the day. The big O and the a-Niall-ator proved to be a force to be reckoned with. The theme of the day seemed to be the young prospects of the troop. In a new event, Daniel X, Kyle W and Dylan N beat all the other teams by over two minutes in “cross the creek”. The aggressive strategy proved to be helpful as the young scouts captured another blue ribbon for the troop. As the competitions boiled down, troops began to prepare themselves for the main event, the Klondike derby. The conditions were difficult this year, there was a 50/50 mix between wheels and skis on the lightly coated track. After a course tour, there was an executive decision to go with skis. This decision turned out to be a good one because troop one dominated the competition. Led by Daniel in the sled a variety of scouts overcame substitution mishaps and won the race with a time of 6:02 capturing first place on the main event. Overall, a successful day for the troop, and we are looking forward to defending our titles next winter.

TROOP 1 SHERBORN UPDATE – September 2019

9/9/2019

 

Troop 1 had a busy summer. 
 In June, the troop welcomed 6 new Webelo scouts to the troop.  Due to conflicts in schedule the cross over ceremony was moved to September. 
On July, 10 Senior Scouts and 3 adult leaders attended the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.  Philmont is a national BSA High Adventure Base that is located in the Rocky Mountains.   The crew started their adventure with 2 days in Colorado Spring to adjust to the higher altitude and toured the Garden of the Gods park, the U.S. Olympic Training Center, the U.S. Air Force Academy, went whitewater rafting and toured the Royal Gorge Bridge.  The scouts then went to Philmont to embark on their 12 day trek in the beautiful mountains of New Mexico.  The crew was busy with hiking and activities including rock climbing, muket shooting, tomahawk throwing, 3D archery and fly fishing.  During the trek the boys hiked over 60 miles and summited several peaks including Mount Philips (El. 11,600) and the Tooth of Time (El. 9,000).  A special thanks to our youth leaders Oren Weimeyer (Crew Leader), Bradley Peterson (Chaplain’s Aide) and Jack Worcester (Wilderness Guide) and the adult advisors - Doug Peterson, Jason Worcester and David Kapilian. 
In August, eleven scouts ranging from 6th to 10th grade spent a week at the Camp Yawgoog in Rhode Island.  The three first time campers spent time earning Swimming and First aid Merit Badges while many of the returning scouts took advantage of the opportunity to learn and refine their techniques at the Rifle range and the climbing walls.  Four scouts spent the week taking an intense 6 day waterfront Life Guard course and learned a variety of life saving techniques.  When not enriching their knowledge of all things BSA Scouts, the boys were busy competing with other troops from MA, RI, and NY in games of basketball and corn hole, continuing their reign as champs on the court. This is the second year in a row that the scouts have traveled to Camp Yawgoog and all agree it was a great return trip in no small part to the leadership of the Senior Patrol Leader, Alex Kapilian. 
Upcoming Events in September: Sept 15 – Troop 1 – Kickoff Picnic  Sept 17 – Troop Meeting – 7PM at Pilgrim Sept 24 – Troop Meeting – 7PM at Pilgrim

Wreath sale & December meetings

11/17/2018

 
*** Thank you for all your work on the wreath sale! ***

For Tuesday, December 11 meeting we'll be collecting wreath sale proceeds as well as strategizing wirth scouts on on how to best to get closure on collecting money or delivering the larger wreaths. The meeting should only take an hour, but could be longer. As each scout's wreath sales need to be processed individually, there will be time for younger scouts to work with older scouts or ASMs on advancement. 

For the Tuesday, December 11 meeting Jack Mulhall will guide scouts through best practices—some essential practices—in winter camping. There should also be some time for advancement

On December 18 meeting we'll have our annual Yankee Swap
