FALL CAMPOREE 2003
"RESULTS"
This
years Signal Hill District's Fall Camporee is now one of life's special
memories. With many new friendships bonded and old friendships strengthened, it
was a huge success. Whether it was Crew 862's excellent Civil War
demonstration, the outstanding pioneering projects built, orienteering, the be
prepared race, fire building and team spirit, everyone had a great time.
This years camporee was concluded with an (as Steve Wright would put it)
"Awesome Fire". The skits and fire were organized and run by the
scouts from troops 964 and 93. All troops/patrols were invited to perform a
skit. All participated with very entertaining results. A special thanks goes
out to the leadership shown by Scouts Matt Tangen and Steve Wright and their
crew for making it happen. We also wish to "Thank" all those
folks that were on the Fall Camporee Committee, their hard work and dedication
was very much appreciated, Thank You again!
We look forward to next year.
Yours in Scouting,
Fall Camporee Co-Chairman

Be Prepared For the Signal Hill
District First Aid Meet!
Shouts of "Call 911!" are echoing
in troop meetings throughout Northwest Suburban Council. Troops are brushing up on their first aid
skills preparing for the annual First Aid Meet. The First Aid Meet will be held Saturday, December 13th
in the Barrington Middle School at
Station Campus Barrington. The event
will get underway at 10 AM.
Boy Scouts will be tested on first aid skills they have
learned while, advancing from Tenderfoot to First Class (see the Boy Scout
Handbook), earning the First Aid Merit Badge (see the First Aid Merit Badge
book), or from studying the Boy Scout Field Guide. Scout Patrols of 6-8 boys will be involved in treating victims in
various first aid scenarios. A written
quiz will also be given to each patrol to act as a tiebreaker. A trophy and ribbons will be awarded to the
patrols that are best prepared for emergencies.
Troops may register more than one patrol for the event.
