How To Stuff 2 Draft Horses In A Ford Truck!

The Great Fun Of Scouting! We had the opportunity to

meet this gentlemen at the French and Indian War

Encampment. He comes to volunteer his time

and his 2 horses Elvis and Fibber. The mans name

is Windy! Wonderful old timer. Loves his horses

and loves people. We have to say I couldn't believe

this could be done but Windy did it. These old

timers can do some things a few of us younger

people would never think of. Safety wise....

ahhhhh! But definetly built out of love. So

I'm sure it's safe. Cute it was. 

The Custaloga Town French And Indian War Encampment...Flood

Well they were telling the truth. No joke folks it was a real flood. It rained so hard over the night and early morning the beautiful creek over flowed its banks and whalah.......flood. The camp that took 2 hours to erect took 5 minutes to carry to higher ground. Really about 10 minutes. All we could do was basically watch it rise. The boys really just absolutely loved it. Playing in the water was just he coolest thing. So we moved to higher ground and all was well. Oh notice the tent of our 2 brave campers their tent did not survive. It is now a tarp. Oh well life goes on.

What An Honor....If Matthew Can Do It...All Boys Can Do It

In God We Trust

Should the motto "In God We Trust" be removed from U.S. currency?  This is one that should go down in the books. Here is an article that was posted on MSNBC. I find it very entertaining. You may or you may not. You be the judge.

Atheist challenges ‘In God We Trust’

Pledge of Allegiance foe Newdow sues to remove motto from U.S. currency

SAN FRANCISCO - An atheist who has spent four years trying to ban the Pledge of Allegiance from being recited in public schools is now challenging the motto printed on U.S. currency because it refers to God.

Michael Newdow seeks to remove “In God We Trust” from U.S. coins and dollar bills, claiming in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday that the motto is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

Newdow, a Sacramento doctor and lawyer, used a similar argument when he challenged the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools because it contains the words “under God.”

Now its your chance. Please vote. I believe God thinks it's worth it. I know Troop 51 thinks it is. Here is the link. And thanks for voting.

The Last Lecture

If you have not viewed this lecture you are really missing a very inspirational story. Randy Pausch gives one of the greatest lectures of all time. Actually meant for his children but presented as a lecture at Carnegie Mellon University to his students and fellow colleagues. This truly was Randy's last lecture. Randy lost his battle to cancer shortly after this lecture was created. All scouts would truly benefit from the watching of this video. Randy was a great professor and a great human being and will be sadly missed by all.
