Troop 919 NewsTroop 919 NewsMonday, March 8, 2010Troop 919 Notes 3-8-2010Hockey Game – The annual “Docs vs Cops” charity hockey game is Saturday, March 20. This game features the doctors of the Wake Forest Bowman Gray Medical Center skating against the Winston-Salem Police Department. For the last several years Stan Gordon has arranged complimentary tickets to the game for our troop families and Stan has offered the same again this year. If you and your family would like tickets to this game you need to let Stan know at Tuesday’s Troop meeting. If you are not going to be at Tuesday’s meeting for some reason, the final deadline to let Stan know that you would like complimentary tickets is Wednesday, March 10 at 8 p.m. You can also e-mail Stan with your request. Bear Island Trip – The final sign-up for our Bear Island canoe trip will be at Tuesday’s Troop meeting. The trip is next weekend (March 19-21) and there will be a one-the-water canoe practice this weekend. We will have more info on the practice at Tuesday’s Troop meeting. Service Hours – If you are looking for some service hours you might consider volunteering to help at the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Winston-Salem on May 1. Volunteers are needed on the day of the race beginning around 6:30 AM to help with parking, trash and site restoration. This would be an excellent opportunity for Scouts to earn Community Service hours and support a worthy cause all at the same time. For more information please contact Whitney Drawdy Knott, 2010 NC Triad Race for the Cure Chair at (336) 978-3927 or via email at wed0403@hotmail.com. Friends of Scouting – If you have not turned in your Friends and Families of Scouting pledge card, please return it in a sealed envelope at Tuesday’s Troop meeting. Re-Chartering – We still have a few families who have not paid their $15 BSA Re-Chartering fee. Please take care of this at Tuesday’s Troop meeting so our Troop can finalize its Re-Chartering process with the Council on time. Summer Camp Registration – It’s also time for Scouts to register and pay their deposit for our week at Camp Raven Knob this summer. The initial deposit of $100 is due with registration. Some important summer camp registration dates: March 23 – Registration and $100 deposit due April 6 – Merit Badge Selections due May 11 – Final summer camp payment due (including program fees) June 8 – Summer camp swim checks The summer camp registration packet, including the list of merit badges available can easily be downloaded from the Troop website.

Welcome to Troop 919Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 919, located in Pfafftown, North Carolina (near Winston-Salem). Our Troop is fortunate to be sponsored by two churches in our community ... Brookstown United Methodist and Olivet Moravian Churches. We and meet at our Scout Hut on Yadkinville Road each Tuesday at 7:30 PM. Troop 919 was first chartered in 1955 and we celebrated our 50th anniversary of Scouting in Forsyth County, North Carolina in 2005! We are a boy-led organization and an active outdoors troop. Our youth leaders plan and lead our weekly meetings where scout skills are learned and practiced. We enjoy a camping trip monthly and some of our recent activities have included backpacking, hiking, biking, spelunking, rappelling, whitewater canoeing and whitewater rafting. Some might call us a high adventure Troop. We don't think of ourselves in that way, but we do get to do some pretty cool things in the outdoors and backwoods! Crews from Troop 919 have hiked the backcountry at Philmont Scout Ranch in 2003, 2007 and 2008. Another Troop 919 crew will be heading to Philmont in 2010! Many of the Scouts and adult leaders at Troop 919 at active participants in the Order of the Arrow and Wahissa Lodge #118 The Old Hickory Council's Raven Knob Scout Reservation is one of our Troop's favorite destinations. We spend a week there each summer and head there frequently during the year
