Last night, the troops, in conjunction with Cub Scout Pack 142, respectfully retired a dozen worn-out flags. The winds here in Flagstaff can wreak havoc on these flags, and we retire them with pride for the community.

So proud of this group! Today, we summited O'Leary Peak. 2,080 feet of climbing in 10.04 miles. Great fun and now to soak our feet...

THROWBACK THURSDAY: One of the first “Badges of Merit” later renamed “Merit Badges” in 1911, was Stalker. Later renamed Stalking Merit Badge, it challenged Scouts to track animals and even people by following tracks. A Scout was expected to know a variety of tracks of different animals. When tracking people they were expected to use the tracks to determine if the person was likely to be male or female, older or younger, and know their gait based on the spacing of the track. They would use their skills to track down animals, and take pictures as evidence that they had been able to sneak up on the critter. The original Badge of Merit was known as Stalker from 1910-1911, then renamed Stalking Merit Badge from 1911-1952. In 2010, the Centennial Year for the BSA, a handful of original Merit Badges were brought back for that one year as part of the celebration of 100 years of the BSA. Stalking Merit Badge was one of these selected, although due to changes in connotation of the word it was brought back as “Tracking Merit Badge”.

A Scout is clean.

Picking up debris left behind from a gender reveal party earlier yesterday at the park where we meet in the summer. Apparently, it's a boy. Scouts did an amazing job picking up much of the mess!
