The event was planned<br />
as a skills day for lower<br />
ranked Scouts and Webelos<br />
Cub Scouts. The event<br />
then moved into a troop<br />
campout. With all of the<br />
extra rain, Hamel Woods,<br />
the original location, was<br />
no longer available for use<br />
to present Scout skills to<br />
younger Scouts.<br />
Scout Skills Day is an<br />
annual event that provides<br />
the opportunity for higher<br />
rank Scouts to present<br />
specific skills to younger<br />
Scouts. The more advanced<br />
Scouts teach skills such<br />
as first-aid, fire building,<br />
cooking, tent set up, and<br />
Totin’ Chip. To earn the<br />
Totin’ Chip, Scouts show<br />
an understanding of how to<br />
use woods tools and the expected<br />
safety guidelines as<br />
presented by BSA.<br />
The Troop 50 Committee<br />
Chair, Juan Perez, shared<br />
the need for an impromptu<br />
location with Bruce Davis<br />
from the Lockport Moose<br />
Lodge,and Davis delivered<br />
by offering the Moose Picnic<br />
Grove at 15144 159th<br />
St. in Homer Glen. Troop<br />
50 was grateful for the assistance.<br />
