Follow the grassy trail beyond the arch, and you’ll find that the animals, birds, trees, fish, reeds, and water do speak to us: They tell us about the health of the land, and the cleanliness of the water, and the amount of food available in their habitats, and about the air and the climate.</p> <p>This is a rare and special place. As Scouts in the National Capital Area Council, it is ours to care for. This is the<strong> Hylton Ecological Preserve at Camp Snyder</strong>. It is 125 acres of forest, open water, streams and ponds that come and go, fields where trees are beginning to take over, and a wide variety of wildlife and plant life. Its technical name is the North Fork Wetlands Bank, and it was built by people on what was a farm field so there would be a safe place for plants and animals to live and for water to be collected and stored.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4509 aligncenter" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC7558-treated_photo_CSBC-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="542" height="362" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC7558-treated_photo_CSBC-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC7558-treated_photo_CSBC-768x511.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC7558-treated_photo_CSBC-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC7558-treated_photo_CSBC-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC7558-treated_photo_CSBC-947x630.jpg 947w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px" /></p> <p><strong>On June 5, 2021,</strong> Scouts of all ages, leaders, parents, siblings, and friends are invited to <strong>Scouting on Foot: Camp Snyder’s Wetlands</strong>.

After a year of COVID-caused physical isolation from their friends, our young people in Troop 248 are delighting with the anticipation of returning for a week of experiencing the mysteries of camp friendships – many for the first time. Our Troop members live and meet in the urban core of our great capital city, so traveling to our splendid Goshen Scout Reservation for a week of aquatics, Scoutcraft, nature, shooting sports, hiking and the silly pleasures of campfire entertainment takes on heightened importance.</p> <p>This year we are sending 32 Scouts and eight adults to Camp Olmsted and later in the summer, 15 more–advanced Scouts and adults to the high adventure backpacking program known as Lenhok’sin. Those of us who attended as Scouts or served as staff at camps of our youth know the facts: we own one of the Nation’s finest camp properties operated at the highest possible level of program excellence. Our Troop Committee and Scoutmaster Staff believe it is a central duty to make these summer experiences available. Our Scouts, including several who are experiencing the gift of a Council campership, are grateful to anyone who has helped make the pleasures of Goshen Scout Reservation possible. That would include all of you who support our Council through contributions or bringing your own units to camp.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4507 aligncenter" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AU0I4541_photo_SBBC-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="517" height="344" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AU0I4541_photo_SBBC-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AU0I4541_photo_SBBC-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AU0I4541_photo_SBBC-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AU0I4541_photo_SBBC-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AU0I4541_photo_SBBC-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AU0I4541_photo_SBBC-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px" />We are a new unit – just 28 months old. We are now a strong group of 50 Scouts and 27 adults for having centered our efforts for 15 months on successfully overcoming the impacts of COVID on the life experiences of our Scouts. We largely achieved this by continuing our live meetings and monthly weekend events outside in the sun, rain and cold (with appropriate precautions). In just six weeks, the young people of Troop 248 will exchange any remaining trepidations from pandemic fear for the confidence and joy that a week in the woods will bring. Decades from now, they will look back on the experiences we will provide them through our camp and know Scouting provided just what was needed at the precise time.</p> <p> </p> <p>For those of you who excluded live outdoor activities from your unit’s program, I strongly urge you to add a week of summer camp to your agenda. Your unit can still do it now and your Council will happily provide the advice, flexibility and direct staffing assistance to make this happen for your youth members. This is your time to renew the spirit and purpose of your Scouting unit. This is your time to provide your children the relief and renewal they need. This is our collective time as believers in Scouting to rise to this challenge.</p> <p>All we really need to do right now is simply get back to camp. I’ll be looking for you. Camp Olmsted. First period. The guy wearing the smoky-the-bear hat.</p> </div><footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-categories">Filed Under: <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/at-camp/" rel="category tag">At Camp</a></span> </p></footer></article><article class="post-4500 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-uncategorized tag-day-of-giving tag-summer-of-service entry" aria-label="Announcing Giving Day & Summer of Service Kick-Off" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork"><header class="entry-header"><h2 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline"><a class="entry-title-link" rel="bookmark" href="https://weownadventure.com/announcing-giving-day-summer-of-service-kick-off/">Announcing Giving Day & Summer of Service Kick-Off</a></h2> <p class="entry-meta"><time class="entry-time" itemprop="datePublished" datetime="2021-05-27T10:00:08+00:00">May 27, 2021</time> by <span class="entry-author" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://weownadventure.com/author/ncac_adm/" class="entry-author-link" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="entry-author-name" itemprop="name">The Scouter Digest Staff</span></a></span> </p></header><div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"><p>Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing information with you around the upcoming Summer of Service. The Summer of Service is a national initiative designed to encourage our movement to “give back” at a time when a spirit of community service is needed more than ever.</p> <p>As we have throughout our history, Scouting families have answered the call to work together in service of the greater good. From public health drives…to caring for the environment…to assisting neighbors in need…Scouts have always been a force for positivity and goodness in our communities. Now more than ever, our world needs that Scouting spirit once again. Let’s step up! Let’s answer the call to put “service beyond self” to make a positive impact in our neighborhoods and communities throughout the summer.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4501 aligncenter" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AL6I6374A_photo_SBBC-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="535" height="356" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AL6I6374A_photo_SBBC-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AL6I6374A_photo_SBBC-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AL6I6374A_photo_SBBC-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AL6I6374A_photo_SBBC-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AL6I6374A_photo_SBBC-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AL6I6374A_photo_SBBC-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px" /></p> <p>The Summer of Service is a broad initiative that allows families maximum flexibility in deciding the type of service that best fits their circumstances. From big projects to small spur-the moment opportunities, we are asking participants to give back in some way and then tell us about it. Based on the honor system, participants will be able to download printable certificates and order a special recognition patch. All handled through the Summer of Service website, there will be no cumbersome forms or daunting lists of requirements. The important part is to activate on the mindset of serving others.</p> <p>Fine more details on the Summer of Service here: <a href="http://www.scouting.org/summerofservice/">www.scouting.org/summerofservice/</a></p> <p>We rely on the generosity of our donors to ensure we can deliver on our promise to make the DC Metro region a better place. That’s why we are kicking off NCAC’s Summer of Service with a <strong>Day of Giving on June 10th</strong>. NCAC is in the business of making our communities stronger by <strong>serving more than 36,000 families</strong> and helping instill in our young people the values of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
