The crew helped the West Caldwell Historical Society catalogue various items on February 21st and March 24th. After photographing them and adding them to the inventory the crew helped to organize these artifacts of our town’s history.
The Introduction to Leadership Skills is a great training opportunity to better understand how a crew is supposed to function. The members of Crew 59 had the chance to learn and practice some awesome new skills including Delegation, Planning, Communication and many others. Hopefully they will put all these into practice!
The crew attended and participated in the Skate for Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser held by the Courtrights. Two members of our crew are very involved in this event and we had a blast supporting our fellow venturers!
For the first Order of the Arrow election the Crew voted that Mackenzie Courtright attend the Ordeal to seek entry to this great and honorable brotherhood.
The crew met at Fuddruckers for the bi-annual birthday meeting this Monday. The crew members and their families were able to catch up and enjoy a good burger with unlimited fries!!!
Jean-Baptiste led the crew through the Mentoring for Venturing training this past Saturday. Over the course of the session the crew learned a little more about what mentoring is, how to mentor, how to be mentored and how to use these valuable skills both in scouting and elsewhere.
The Crew elected Mackenzie Courtright as President, Ashna Razdan as Vice President of Administration, Pauline Dominguez as Vice President of Program, Isabella Joslyn as Secretary and Evan Brown as Treasurer. Congratulations to all of them!
January 12th to 14th:
The crew arrived at Camp Glen Gray Friday night and settled in to the cabin. After starting their fires and eating their dinners a round of cards ensued followed by bedtime. During the night a watch was set to make sure the fires stayed lit and kept the cabin warm. Unfortunately, some did not wake as they should have and the fires had to be relit.
On Saturday the crew enjoyed a breakfast of crêpes and prepared for the day ahead. Outside of stocking up on wood the crew went on a hike to nearby Boy Scout Camp Yaw Paw, on the way we were blessed with some beautiful sights! After a lunch in the outdoor dining hall there, we headed back to Price Cabin in Camp Glen Gray and made dinner. Following an evening of board games and fried deserts courtesy of Matthew Courtright, we turned in.
The second fire watch also had some issues in the waking department, with some turning in before making sure their replacements were up. That being said Pauline, Bella, Tyler, Matt. C., Jean-Baptiste, Mackenzie, John S. and Evan accompanied by Nora, Matt, Mr. Brown, Mrs. Rogacki and Mrs. Brown had great fun and seem ready to do it again!
