BSA Safety Moment

Hypothermia is an abnormally low body temperature that is dangerous, and potentially fatal if not properly cared for. Hypothermia most often occurs when individuals are exposed to extremely cold temperatures for extended periods of time. However, it can also occur in warmer environments in situations such as wearing wet clothing in windy conditions, becoming chilled from being in the rain for an extended period, or submersion in cold water. Sweating leads to wet clothing, which increases the possibility of becoming chilled. Dressing in layers that are easy to put on or take off will help you to avoid becoming chilled, or becoming too warm and sweating heavily in your clothes. Planning is essential before a trek or outing to make sure you are prepared for possible changes in environmental conditions.

Wood Badge

Wood Badge is advanced Scout leader training that began in 1919 by Lord Baden-Powell, founder of Scouting and Wood Badge’s first director. It came to America in 1948 and has been updated to reflect current BSA policies and programs. Incorporating the best techniques available, Wood Badge has become the most advanced leadership training course in Scouting!  For leaders at all levels!

Christmas Lights Needed

This year as we strive to continue family program we will be doing a Christmas lights drive through special at our camps.  To do this we need thousands of lights.  We are looking for workable Christmas lights.  So if you recently cleaned out the attic, downsized, or just bought new lights please consider donating your set to us.  Drop off at Camp Mattatuck, JNW Scout Reservation, or the office during Scout Shop hours.  At camp please drop off the lights at the ranger stations.  The contact is Michael.Brown@scouting.org

From our Family to Yours

We hope everyone has a safe and joyous Thanksgiving! Please note both the Scout Shop and our office will be closed on Thursday and Friday.  The Scout Shop will resume their hours on Saturday.
