Hey, if you check out this month's issue of Scouting Magazine, there is a great article about Dot G.

The other night at the Webelos Cross Over, I had the grand opportunity to visit with a couple of my heroes. Jim Goss, an old Scoutmaster of Troop 12 at the old First Presbyterian Church was there. He was very active in the 1970's. He mentioned the 3 weekend hike down in Tennessee, where they hiked 150 miles.
Jayson Plaxico, a wildlife biologist with the Kentucky Black Bear Program, visited Venture Crew 12 tonight. We learned about ecology, plants, wildlife, pollution, and conservation around the Bob Amos Park in Pikeville.
"Over the week end, over half-a-million of you have gathered on the air, during the 51st JOTA, and via the Internet for the 12th JOTI. Once again, the Scout Movement has demonstrated its capability to open space for dialogue and mutual recognition, to young people of all nations, regardless of culture, religion or race. Through the adherence to it's values and principles, the Movement has shown how it jumps over obstacles and barriers, at least geographical ones."I did take the time and try out the JOTI ( Jamboree On The Internet ) for the first time.
I typed in: “Anybody here attend the WJ last summer?”
I ended up talking to several folks, but one in particular, that I remember. We stayed in Glacier and he was in Lagoon. He even had the silky Troop 211 patch still.
Thanks Jeremy!

Here is something to do this weekend, if you aren't camping. If you have access to a ham radio, you can join your fellow Scouts and Scouters on the Jamboree On The Air. The Jamboree On The Internet is also available too. Kind of like the world's largest chat room filled with folks who follow similar Scouting values.
We had 2 new Scouts show up and signed up tonight and they both are going camping with us to the Fall Camporee this weekend. That is Troop 12 spirit in it's full.
