Cub Scout Winter Lodge Clean up Day: Oct. 11
Nanitch and Aubrey Watzek Lodges will be available for tubing by Cub Scout packs
during the winter of 2007/2008. This is a great opportunity for Cub Scouts to play
in the snow.
Cub Scout packs must send three or more adult members (no one under age 14) to
the annual lodge cleanup to be eligible to use the lodge. Select the lodge and register
there between 8 and 9 a.m. Register no later than 9 a.m. to be in the early draw.
Nanitch Lodge has a capacity of 120 day-use people and is located above Government
Camp, about a half mile on Timberline Road. Aubrey Watzek Lodge has a day capacity
of 225 people and is located on Highway 35, about 4 miles north of the junction
with Highway 26. Please visit www.cpcbsa.org/winterlodge; for complete details download

Compass Points
Donations Sought for
AEDs
The council Health & Safety Committee
recognizes the lifesaving capabilities of
Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in
emergency situations, and is placing AEDs at
major council camps and properties.
Extensive research was performed to select
an AED model that best suits the unique
needs of camps. The unit selected are able
to withstand shock, humidity, and temperature
fluctuations, and are capable of both
youth and adult rescue.
AEDs are being deployed at resident
camps, offices and long-term activities,
representing over $40,000 in lifesaving
equipment. Each AED costs about $2,000.
The council is investigating grants, but also
needs help to acquire full coverage for our
camps.
Individuals, troops, service clubs, and
other groups are invited to sponsor one or
more AEDs for camp properties. The Wauna
La-Mon’tay Lodge of Order of the Arrow
sponsored one AED, as did Troop 423 in Tigard.
These donations are a great help to
providing these emergency devices at highrisk
areas.
For information, contact Jim Hill at
503.225.5744 or jhill@cpcbsa.org.
Members of Troop 423 display the AED they are sponsoring
