Family Camp – August 23-25

Troop & Crew Committee Chairs Rick and Helen Justus are proud to announce reservations have been made for our Annual Troop & Crew 264 Family Camp. Friday August 23 to Sunday August 25. All forms have been collected and sent in to the Navy Rec Center, no additional signups can be accommodated. We all know Scouting is supposed to be FUN, and this is a relaxed activity where everybody in the entire family can come and camp out as a group. Mr. Justus, a Retired US Air Force Master Sergeant is authorized to host this activity, and has had the pleasure to do so at least 6 times since 2007. If you have questions or concerns after reading this entire message, please bring them to Mr. or Mrs. Justus at regular Scout meetings or send us an email at [email protected]. There is no need to contact the NRC at Solomons Island, as we are the point of contact for this Troop/Crew 264 camping event. 1. Which brings us to ONE BIG NOTE: our Troop/Crew and Families will be guests on a US Military Base and we all must follow the military rules, which should not be a problem for Scouts and Scout Families. The base is fenced and a Guard is at the single gate 24 hours a day. Drivers will need to register their vehicles with Mr. Justus for access to the base, and those instructions will be sent out at a later time to those families who register. 2. Arrivals start at 3 pm on Friday August 17th and although Check Out from the camp site is 11 am on Sunday August 25th, all those registered and attending may remain on the base and enjoy their Activity Pass through 7 pm Sunday evening. Families or Patrols can cook together, Scouts can organize and complete Cooking requirements for rank advancement, and some might even just go across the street to grab a snack or meal at one of the many local establishments or grocery store. 3. We have one large group site and the cost is $9.00 per Scout/youth or Parent over 5 years old per night. Children 4 and under pay no charge but we must register all participants. $9.00 pays for your night of camping and gives you the Activity Pass which allows each person to enjoy all of the many activities FREE: 3 pools, sand beach, miniature golf, and the Adventure Zone. 4. The location is just one hour forty minutes and 85 miles from St. John's Episcopal Church where we have our Scout Meetings: NRC SOLOMONS ISLAND, 13855 SOLOMONS ISLAND ROAD, SOLOMONS MD 20688 USA 5. We ask that each family please send an email to [email protected] providing names/ages of Scouts/children 5-17 years old, names of those 18 and over, and names and ages of those 4 years and younger so we have a total list of all family members participating. 6. You can bring your own bicycles, roller blades and skateboards ... as long as you have the proper helmet and protective equipment. 7. All drivers must bring: driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of current insurance on the vehicle. Without these you may be denied access to the base. Drivers have to be registered in advance. No exceptions will be made.

Let's have FUN in the SUN at this 2019 Troop 264 Family Camp!! Rick Justus, Troop 264 Committee Chair Helen Justus, Crew 264 Committee Chair

Troop Planning Meeting – Friday, September 6

It is time for the annual troop planning meeting, tentatively to be held at Mr. Bogan’s house at 3325 Richwood Lane in Brookeville, MD, at 7 PM on Friday, September 6. Each patrol must send the current patrol leader, the assistant patrol leader, and at least one adult. The SPL and Assistant SPLs are also expected to attend. Other scouts and adults are welcome too. Bring folding chairs to sit on, and paper and pen or pencil. Pizza and drinks at the end of the meeting.

Scouts will propose possibilities for troop activities from September 2019 through September of 2020. (Adults may make suggestions too.) Check with your patrol members for possibilities that your patrol might like to do and come up with a list. Once all the proposed events are listed before the group, patrols will be chosen to host those events. (By hosting we mean that the patrol makes all the arrangements well in advance and promotes the event to the troop members.) Each patrol is expected to host two events during the year, the Zombies (new scout) patrol one event no later than February. Dates will be chosen for these events.

Past issues of the Signaler can be a goldmine for finding events, as well as providing guidance as to event logistics and the outcomes. Web searches can locate opportunities the troop has not yet done. Be creative, use your imagination. And for an extra challenge, try to find someplace that Mr. Bogan has never been.

Next SPL Election – Monday, September 9

At the June Troop Committee Meeting, the troop adults in attendance recommended a change in the timing of Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) elections. In the past they have been held at Courts of Honor, resulting in elections often being eight or nine months apart. The committee suggested that the elections be decoupled from the Courts of Honor and be held every six months, starting in September. This will afford more scouts an opportunity to serve as SPL, while keeping the six month service requirement needed for rank advancements. We encourage all eligible scouts (age 15 and star rank, or higher) to seek election as SPL. It is a leadership opportunity not to be missed, building confidence and character. Scouts will elect the SPL at a troop meeting, and the newly elected SPL works with the Scoutmaster and other troop members to learn his duties and fill the role. Go for it! In addition, patrols will select new Patrol Leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders that night.

Nursing Home Visits Resume – Saturday, September 28, 11 AM - Noon

Through the end of the year, and into the next, we will ask two patrols to take on this community service opportunity. For the upcoming September 29 visit, members of the Spartans and Vikings are requested to attend. The location is Friends Nursing Home, off Norwood Road in Sandy Spring, MD, at 11 AM to Noon.

The Titans and Eagles are asked to make arrangements for the October 26 date. Please note that the October date falls in the midst of Webelos Weekend which will be held in Brookeville, MD. Scouts may leave the event to attend the nursing home visit, and return afterward.

The Pumpkins Arrive at St. John’s – Saturday October 5

You may remember last year: a semi-trailer pulls up to St. Johns with a load of some 3,000 pumpkins that have travelled from the southwestern USA to become a part of your Halloween festivities. St. John’s sells these as a fundraiser, and for the past few years, Troop 264 has assisted with the unloading and placement. Here is an opportunity to pick up a few hours of scout credits for scout rank and merit badge requirements, or SSL hours for school. Wheelbarrows and bodies needed. Save the date!

Fall Court of Honor – Monday October 7

So as not to conflict with Rosh Hashana on Monday, September 30, the Fall Court of Honor will be held at St. John’s on Monday, October 7, in place of the regular troop meeting. That gives you several weeks to complete merit badges, rank requirements, awards, and just about everything else.

Webelos Weekend – October 25-27

We don’t have much information yet, other than that the event probably will be held at Camp Bennet just north of Brookeville, MD. But put this on your calendars! We anticipate that Webelos from several packs may camp with T264 that weekend and they and parents certainly are welcome. Contact [email protected] if you have questions.

Scouting for Food Collection – Saturday, November 9

On Saturday, November 2, local Cub Scout packs will distribute bags for Scouting for Food. One week later, they will pick up the filled bags and bring them to collection points. Troop 264 runs the Olney collection point at the Olney Safeway. We will need a lot of scouts to transfer food items from the donation bags to the tubs on the Manna food bank truck, especially between the hours of 11 AM to 1 PM. SSL hours will be given to scout assistants.

Primitive Campout – November 23-24

Remembering Eagle Scout David Robbins

And as long as we are sticking things on the troop calendar, let’s not forget the annual Primitive Campout in Aston. For quite a few years now, it has been held on the weekend just before Thanksgiving Day. With Thanksgiving at its latest possible date this year (November 28), it is likely to be colder.

The Primitive Campout is always popular Scout patrols build shelters in the woods using natural materials and spend the night in them. There is also a patrol cooking contest. More details to follow!

Seabase U.S.V.I. – July 2020

Within minutes of the opening of the registration portal on January 15, Troop 264 had arranged for two eight-person crews in the U.S. Virgin Islands, east of Puerto Rico. This will be the first time Troop 264 has gone to Seabase in the USVI. Each outing runs for 7 days (6 nights). The dates, and tentative crew rosters, are as follows: St. Thomas ECO Adventure, starting Tuesday July 7, 2020: Eakin (2) + Herseys (2) + Edward Piontek + James Fitzgerald + Ismail Ebrahim + Dean Kilpatrick = 8 St. Croix Adventure, starting Monday July 27, 2020: Stewarts (2) + St. Denis (2) + Donahues (2) + Mark Williams + Rick Prothero (Mark’s grandfather) = 8 On waitlist: Mr. Eric Kilpatrick There have been a few recent expressions of additional interest. It remains possible to add adventures (boats). There are still plenty of adventures to pick from. If you have interest, send an e-mail to [email protected] . At least 6 to 8 persons are required for a boat. Scouts must be age 14 (or 13 and finished 8th grade) by the date of the outing, no exceptions will be allowed by Seabase. A $250 deposit for each boat was placed during signup, and there was an $800 payment due for each boat due February 15. The next payment comes due in September. Airline arrangements won’t need to be made until January 2020.

T264 Eagle Scout David Robbins passed away on November 30, 2017 at age 18, after a three year battle with bone cancer. David made achieving Eagle Scout a priority, earning it in September 2016 despite the debilitating effects of the cancer and aggressive treatments. In remembrance of his spirit and no-give-up attitude, the troop decided to make the annual Primitive campout a memorial to David.

First Aid Kits! $10

Troop 264 is selling First Aid kits to raise money to support the troop. The self-contained kits come in two versions, one for home, and one for the car. T264 is selling them for just $10, a very reasonable price for what’s included. Part of the profit goes to the scout selling the kit in the form of scout credits (to be applied in the future to offset camp expenses), while a smaller portion of the profit goes to the troop to keep the troop running. Please contact any T264 scout to purchase a first aid kit (or more than one). Sorry, we cannot ship any kits. These first aid kits make great presents. Questions can be sent to Mrs. Helen Justus at [email protected] . Thanks for your support of Troop 264!

The World Jamboree in West Virginia – July 19 - August 2



7

No troop scouts attended the World Jamboree, probably because of the high cost, but two troop adults – Mr. Tony Laing and Mr. Kevin Hopson -- worked on site. Here is Mr. Laing’s summary, Mr. Hopson’s to follow next month. The World Jamboree was jointly hosted by Canada, the USA, and Mexico.

---------------------------

I spent two great weeks working at the 24th International Scout Jamboree from Friday, July 19 to Friday, August 2 at the Summit Bechtel Reserve (SBR) in Mount Hope, West Virginia. I had worked at the National Jamborees in 2013 and 2017 and I had always wanted to attend an International Jamboree. So, when I found out the International Jamboree was coming to America for the first time in 52 years I signed up. I was one of over 9,000 adults referred to as International Support Team (IST) who ran the programs for over 40,000 youth from 152 countries. Forty percent of the participants were female as Scouting world-wide is coed. The Jamboree is the largest gathering of youth in the world. The opening and closing ceremonies included a million-dollar drone, laser and fireworks display. This is only topped by the spectacle offered at the Olympics. It was a chance

of a lifetime to attend. Bear Grylls, British Adventurer and Chief Scout, gave a stirring keynote speech calling Scouts to act now to protect the environment, The two speakers at the closing ceremony when the flag was passed to the Republic of Korea for the next International Jamboree in 2021 were the Secretary General of Scouting and a former Secretary General of the United Nations. Both men gave rousing speeches calling on youth to lead the way in maintaining peace and sustaining the planet.

I was assigned to the Mountain Bike Support Team. We had 1,200 bikes that Scouts could ride on 37 miles of world class trails. I helped lead a team that registered the riders. My team lead was from Australia and my colleagues were from the USA, Chile, Mexico, Finland, and the Czech Republic We had some programming glitches with the registration application that we were using, and for several days we had to use the hotspot on my personal smartphone to keep the program running. Once again Scouters need to be innovative and flexible! I think we had Scouts from all 152 countries giving mountain biking a try. It was a successful program as we had many repeat riders.

My day started before 5:00 am and I caught a bus to the mountain site that was several miles away on the 10,000 acre reserve where the Low Gear Mountain Bike Program was held. The program lasted from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, but we couldn’t leave until all bikes were accounted for. They needed us to stay and walk the trails if a cyclist was missing. Fortunately, this did not happen as all 1,200 bikes were eventually accounted. We usually didn’t leave the mountain until 6:00 pm. On the first Friday, the programs were closed so that the scouts could conduct a Cultural Celebration Day in the five base camps where they were housed. They shared native food and some of their cultures to visitors. This ranged from cheese fondue from Switzerland to sandals made from tires in Kenya. I also had one day off that gave me the chance to explore various exhibits from each county in the main summit area.

Summer Camp at Heritage Scout Reservation, July 14-20

Lots of pictures to share, but little text. We invite scouts to write up their comments about summer camp and pass them along to the Signaler for the September. The list of summer campers will also be included in September.

Thanks to Mrs. Geller, Mrs. Hammond, and Mr. Predoehl for providing a lot of great pictures to choose from.

On the last day, the bus got a wheel stuck in a ditch at camp. But the camp’s bulldozer operator happened to be in camp that day, and with Mr. Serra’s assistance, they pulled the bus out of the ditch.

District Roundtable (Each month)

Once a month, the White Oak District holds an evening Roundtable session for the units within the district. These sessions provide information about upcoming events of interest to troops and crews, information on changed policies and procedures, and sometimes troop patches or other items related to district events. The troop asks that one adult from a designated patrol attend the meeting and take notes, and then summarize the meeting at the next Troop Adult Meeting a week or two later. Patrol assignments are listed on the calendar pages at the end of this Signaler. With six permanent patrols now, a patrol adult should not have to attend more than twice a year.

WHEN: Second Wednesday, commencing 7:30 PM (except July) WHERE: The Peoples Community Baptist Church, 31 Norwood Rd. Silver Spring MD. About 1/4 mile WEST of New Hampshire Ave.

Getting Credit for Troop Activities

It’s important that everyone who participates in Troop 264 campouts, trips, and community service activities gets credit for their hard work. The Signaler provides the permanent record of everyone who attends these events. Patrol leaders need to take responsibility for collecting the names of participants in their patrols and send those lists, preferably by e-mail, to the Signaler staff by the monthly deadline (25th of the month).

E-mail lists to [email protected] .

Tell It to Mr. Matyas!

Mr. Gary Matyas is the troop’s Advancement Chair, which is a fancy (and understated) way of saying that he keeps track of all the rank advancements, merit badges, and other awards that all the scouts earn. Plus completed training for the adults, that isn’t done online by registered scouters at http://myscouting.scouting.org . This is a big job, as you can imagine, particularly in the weeks and days before a Court of Honor. You can help. Just drop an e-mail to Mr. Matyas at [email protected] for any of the following. Include the scout’s name, what the e-mail is relating to, and the date(s): Rank advancements that may not go through the 3 person Board of Review (BOR). Generally, this applies to Scout rank, most other BORs are administered by Mr. Greenspon. Service project hours outside the troop, that a scout wants to use to meet a rank advancement or merit badge requirement. This might include, for example, an event outside of scouting where the hours are not being applied to some other purpose, whether inside or outside of scouts. Even if you mark the hours in your Scout Handbook, they aren’t entered into the troop database if you don’t say something. Report them early, well before your Scoutmaster conference. Include a short description of the project(s) along with the date(s) and hours. Eagle project accounting. At the end of each Eagle project, the scout assembles a table of who worked how many hours. Please provide a copy to Mr. Matyas so that he can credit project hours to each scout in the list. Events not in the Signaler. Mr. Matyas uses the Signaler record to establish scouts’ participation record, so he won’t know of anything not published there. The best solution for that is to put an article in the Signaler, and give public credit to those who participated.


http://myscouting.scouting.org/

Awards. Awards like Cyberchip, Totin’ Chit, and Fire’em Chit are sometimes not reported to Mr. Matyas in a timely fashion, and often they may not be recorded in the Signaler. Let Mr. Matyas know of these awards as they are earned. Your attention to these small matters will improve the function of the troop. Thank you for your assistance!

Troop Activity Policy

Please be reminded that it is troop policy (and common courtesy) for a scout or scouter to pay the costs associated with an event he or she has signed up for but did not attend, without being asked. No -shows increase the costs to the troop and the participants, require the troop to reserve unneeded space and transport excess equipment, and results in wasted food and materials. We realize that situations inevitably will occur that prevent a scout from attending events, and ask that the scout or scouter con tact the person organizing the event right away. If the conflict is raised early enough, adjustments can often be made where food has not yet been purchased or reservations have not been finalized.

Troop Communications Policy

The troop uses e-mail communications and a closed Facebook site to pass along information to troop and family members. From time to time we receive information about external, often non-scout related, activities. This information sometimes comes from troop members, the district or council, or it can come in from outside sources. Individually, these items may be appealing to certain scouts and parents. Collectively, they present a serious obstacle to our providing timely and effective information about primary troop activities and events. Nor do we want to imply troop approval for activities that we may have limited information about, and often we have little to no information about safety and security at such events (think YPT). For reference, we set out here in writing what has been our existing practice. The first judgment as to the suitability of e-mailing or posting along such material will be made by the Troop Adult Committee person in charge of communications (currently Mr. Bickel). Where appropriate, the Scoutmaster (SM Dennis Bogan) and the Troop Committee Chair (Mr. Rick Justus), will be consulted. Members of the Troop Committee might also be asked for their input, individually or collectively. In most cases, information about external events less than two weeks away will not be e-mailed by the troop to troop members. Generally, a shorter time frame does not get much positive response from busy scouts and scouters. The occasional non-scouting events that are forwarded, shall contain language that this is not a troop activity and that scouts/scouters must arrange their own transportation. Such e-mails may be edited for clarity or to provide additional, supporting information. Of course, scouts and scouters remain free to pass along such information personally or to make an announcement at a troop meeting. This policy isn’t intended to pass judgment on the suitability and quality of such activities. Rather it stems from a need to limit our communications portals to their intended purpose, passing scout information to troop members. Troop 264 Adult Committee, August 16, 2018

INFORMATION PAGES

Attention: Board of Review (BOR) Procedures

Board of Review (BOR) Any scout needing a Board of Review should call Mr. Walt Greenspon at (301) 774-5394

no later than two Sundays (8 days) before the scheduled Board of Review.

Failure to give proper notification will delay your BOR until the next month. Get your

Scoutmaster Conference prior to calling Mr. Greenspon. If your scout is scheduled for the

BOR, he MUST bring an adult with him. That adult is needed to sit on a BOR for another scout.

This way we can accommodate all scouts striving for advancement.

Scout dress code for BOR will include Class “A” shirt, neckerchief, slide, and scout pants (khaki or black pants can be substituted). Merit badge sash is recommended. A scout hat is preferred.

Scout Spirit for Advancement

We all recognize that Scout Spirit is hard to evaluate.

We know Scout Spirit includes being helpful and cheerful,

but it is more than that…it’s giving back. In an effort to

assist Patrol Dads in recognizing Scout Spirit, the following

guidelines are offered.

Our troop believes that prior to each advancement, participation in the following activities

exemplify the essences of Scout Spirit:

• A minimum of 1 nursing home visit

• Participation in at least 1 fundraiser

• At least 4 overnight outings per year

• Good deeds done outside of scouts

Scoutmaster Conferences

Any scout needing a Scoutmaster Conference for advancement up through First Class, needs to contact

one of the following for a conference:

Mr. Greenspon 301-774-5394

Mr. Laing 301-980-8932

Mr. Predoehl 301-774-0974

Mr. Matyas 301-570-0610

Mr. Bickel 301-774-0416

Mr. Long 301-924-4365

Mr. Kennedy 301-774-5014

Mr. Delaney 301-412-0509

Scoutmaster Conferences for Star, Life,

and Eagle must be held with Mr. Bogan: (301)-774-2768. [email protected]

The Patrol Dad, not a senior scout, is responsible for signing off on Scout Spirit prior to your

Scoutmaster Conference.

Preparation for the scout’s BOR must include being prepared to answer skill, citizenship, first aid, and

merit badge questions



18

BOR for Star and Life Scout Advancements

While ropes and compasses are provided for younger ranks, by the time you are ready for Star and Life

advancement, you should be responsible enough to bring your own knot rope and compass for your BOR. We

are requiring all scouts who are advancing to Star or Life to bring a knot rope and compass to their BOR.

Life and Eagle Scouts as Advisory BOR Members

If you are a Life or Eagle Scout and would like to sit on a Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, or Star

BOR, as a “Technical Expert”, call Mr. Greenspon on 301-774-5394.

Troop 264 Adult Leadership We don’t list every registered adult in the troop here, but these are the people you are likely to meet or need first. Troop 264 is fortunate to have a lot of supporting adults, that help out in many ways, taking on tasks that the scouts cannot.
