Troop 861 boys featured in national media

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."
