White Rock District

Twilight Camp runs from June 9-13. All Cub Scout age boys are invited!

More details are at http://whiterockdistrict.org/content/twilight-camp.

The June Roundtable is canceled.

Registration is now being accepted for Powder Horn Training.  This training is scheduled for 6 days in October. Currently scheduled for October 10-12 and October 24-26, Powder Horn Training provides hands on training experience and high adventure resources for any adult Scouter, not just for Venturing advisers.

This course will be offered at Camp Cherokee on the ranch but will also travel to other areas of the ranch as necessary for the requirements of the course.   Additional details are included in the attached flyer.

Because the course size is limited, perspective participants are encouraged to make application now. Please watch the Circle10.org web site for more details.  Registration is now being accepted at http://powderhorn.kintera.org/.

Two boys from White Rock District's Troop 861 were in the national news, sourced at the 2007 winter camp at Clements Scout Ranch:

Scouts Will Baker, 11, and Kolby Wassel, 12, said they learned anti-bullying tactics such as not fighting back and counting backward to control their anger when teased.

After making beef jerky at a scout gathering near Dallas, Baker said he didn't think bullying was enough of a problem to make lessons mandatory.

Wassel was more approving.

"For most of the younger Scouts, I think that would be a great thing for them," said Wassel, a third-year Scout. "Sometimes they get really depressed if (bullies) hurt their feelings."
