States of America. It is lead and coordinated by the United States Marines. They begin by putting boxes around the county to collect gifts from people willing to donate to needy families. You can find them everywhere. In large stores like Wal*Mart and in small places like Sweet Frog. They put these boxes out in late October and it runs till December. When complete with store collection boxes, they collect the toys, then bring them to a local warehouse, and finally set up the toys. They set up the toy store and get many volunteers to help the needy people pick out toys for their families.</p> <p> I went on Dec. 14 and volunteered for the day. I first began by helping people get their toys to their cars. We would take their bags full of toys and load up their cars. After a while of doing that I went inside and helped people shop. We went around and helped the family pick out toys for their kids. We would give them ideas and help them make decisions. They would also get a large toy such as a bike or a skateboard. They also got some games and books. </p> <p>They would finally get stocking stuffers and wrapping paper. Everybody there was so kind and we all had smiles on our faces there wasn’t a single volunteer that looked sad or unhappy. Everybody contributed in all kinds of ways making families happy.</p> <p> I learned to be grateful for what I have. These people that I interacted with didn’t have what I have. So I learned to be appreciative of what my family does for me. I think many of the other Scouts who helped that day felt the same way. It was great we all got to make a difference for so many less fortunate people during the holidays. This seems to be what being a Messenger of Peace is all about. </p> <p>Messenger of Peace Link: <a href="https://www.scout.org/node/551720">https://www.scout.org/node/551720</a></p> <p>Nathan Davio </p> <p>12-23-19</p> </div><footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-categories">Filed Under: <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/leaders/" rel="category tag">Leaders</a>, <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/programs/" rel="category tag">Scouting Programs</a></span> </p></footer></article><article class="post-2091 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-adventure category-at-camp category-leaders tag-camp-snyder tag-camp-staff tag-day-camp tag-goshen-scout-reservation entry" aria-label="Seeking Camp Staff: Summer 2020!" 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/seeking-camp-staff-summer-2020/">Seeking Camp Staff: Summer 2020!</a></h2> <p class="entry-meta"><time class="entry-time" itemprop="datePublished" datetime="2019-12-19T16:55:11+00:00">December 19, 2019</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">NCAC Camping Department</span></a></span> </p></header><div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"><p style="text-align: center;">Do you like camping and the outdoors?

Dinner was Leo’s tried and true favorite, chicken and broccoli with rice.</p> <p>About the time we had all we could eat a south bound, AT hiker named Bob hiked into our campsite. Bob was a south bounder or SOBO as they are called. He started his AT journey in Maine on Mt. Katahdin and had been hiking sense the spring. AT hikers don’t typically carry a lightweight stove or cook meals but live on cliff bars and fruit.</p> <p>Leo offered a hot meal to Bob and Bob gladly accepted.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/at-hiker-2.jpeg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is at-hiker-2.jpeg" width="227" height="227" /> After Bob enjoyed his hot meal, Bob spoke to the boys about trail angles. Trail angles offer kindness to AT hikers and the kindnesses the boys offered to Bob was some magic that made his journey a little more special. We talked to Bob for seemed to be about 45 minutes and discussed his amazing experiences and the people he had come to meet along the way. Bob departed before sunset with the goal of seeing the sunset from Tinker Cliffs. Leo spoke about Bob and the friendship they shared over his trail angle hot meal.</p> <p>A Scout is friendly and a Scout is kind<br /> ASM Dave Eschenbrenner<br /> Troop 1203<br /> California, MD</p> </div><footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-categories">Filed Under: <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/adventure/" rel="category tag">Adventure</a></span> <span class="entry-tags">Tagged With: <a href="https://weownadventure.com/tag/hiking/" rel="tag">Hiking</a>, <a href="https://weownadventure.com/tag/on-the-trail-with/" rel="tag">On The Trail With...</a>, <a href="https://weownadventure.com/tag/scoutmein/" rel="tag">ScoutMeIn</a>, <a href="https://weownadventure.com/tag/scouts-bsa/" rel="tag">Scouts BSA</a></span></p></footer></article><article class="post-2069 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-adventure category-leaders tag-hornaday tag-scouts-bsa entry" aria-label="Troop 159 Earned the Hornaday Unit Award" 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/troop-159-earned-the-hornaday-unit-award/">Troop 159 Earned the Hornaday Unit Award</a></h2> <p class="entry-meta"><time class="entry-time" itemprop="datePublished" datetime="2019-12-10T15:20:50+00:00">December 10, 2019</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>Written by Scouts Corbett and Kendall</p> <ul class="wp-block-gallery alignright columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="636" height="480" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/troop-hornaday-2-3.jpg" alt="" data-id="2085" data-link="https://weownadventure.com/troop-159-earned-the-hornaday-unit-award/troop-hornaday-2-3/" class="wp-image-2085" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/troop-hornaday-2-3.jpg 636w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/troop-hornaday-2-3-300x226.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px" /></figure></li></ul> <p>Troop 159 of Herndon, Virginia earned the prestigious Hornaday Unit Award by supporting a combined Hornaday Badge/Eagle project called START, led by a Scout in our Troop.

Hornaday, a taxidermist at the Smithsonian who is credited with saving the American bison from extinction. The Hornaday Unit award requires 60% of the registered youth scouts of a unit to participate in a single, sustainable conservation project that addresses and remedies a well-defined environmental problem. Our participation was in support of John Foong’s project at Frying Pan Farm Park. The project was a combination of teaching the public about non-native, invasive plants and how to remove them from our community, as well as actively working to remove the plant, Japanese stiltgrass, from an area in the Park.

Our crew consisted of seven Scouts and two adults from three different troops across the National Capital Area Council. We completed a shakedown campout and trail ride at Red Gate Farm in Bluemont, Virginia from September 28-29, 2019 to build familiarity amongst our team, to test all of our gear, and to assess the riding and horse handling ability of each crew member.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Following a successful shakedown, we embarked on our cavalcade adventure on Friday October 11. We flew from Washington to Midland, Texas where we were met by members of the BTSR staff. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WeOwnAdventure-2.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WeOwnAdventure-2.jpg" width="200" height="267">The staff then drove us an additional 2.5 hours to the ranch where we had dinner and bedded down for the night. Early the next morning, we arose to feed the horses and review tacking procedures. Once each of the crew prepared his horse, we set out for two days of backcountry horse camping along with our two wranglers from the BTSR staff.</p> <p>The terrain through which we rode in the Davis Mountains was both spectacular and challenging. We rode across epic ridgelines and down lush valleys. We rode our horses across narrow rocky ledges, through rushing mountain streams and into dense valley forests.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WeOwnAdventure-3-1.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WeOwnAdventure-3-1.jpg" width="216" height="288"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WeOwnAdventure-4.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WeOwnAdventure-4.jpg" width="207" height="275"></p> <p>Along the way, we dismounted to see some amazing local sites, like ancient Native American rock paintings and glorious picturesque waterfalls. All in all, we rode about 25 miles over two days (with about six hours in the saddle each day) including almost 2,000 feet of change in elevation. This riding experience was not for the faint of heart. During the course of the ride, three of our crew were thrown from their horses (including the Scout with the most riding experience, one of the adult wranglers and one of the adult crew advisors). None sustained serious injuries, and all were able to continue on with the cavalcade.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WeOwnAdventure-5.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WeOwnAdventure-5.jpg" width="230" height="306"><span style="font-size: inherit;">The Scouts worked together magnificently. They bonded well during the shakedown campout and that sense of teamwork carried through the cavalcade itself. Whether helping each other with tacking their horses or making their meals together on the trail, the Scouts functioned as a strong team. </span><span style="font-size: inherit;">More significantly, each of them demonstrated exceptional fortitude for young people as well as good horsemanship skills. Many of the challenges on the trail presented by the terrain were significant, yet the Scouts did not shrink from them. They learned how to partner with their horses as well as how to direct them to negotiate obstacles in field. Finally, all of them grew as people and deepened their reservoir of courage and character from which to draw when facing future challenges. The boys completed a true “high adventure” in fine fashion.</span><br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WeOwnAdventure-6-1.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WeOwnAdventure-6-1.jpg" width="230" height="307"></p> <p>This experience would not have been possible without the assistance of our partners from the Middleburg Hunt, Red Gate Farm, and the BTSR.</p> <p>The Middleburg Hunt, one of the oldest foxhunting clubs in Virginia, graciously donated $1,000 to provide camperships for needy families and to subsidize the overall cost of the trip. With advanced planning and frugal budgeting, we were able to keep the cost of this four-day horseback riding adventure to $765 per participant (including air fare and all horse fees). Nevertheless, this was still an expensive trip and the donation from Middleburg Hunt was greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Red Gate Farm provided us with amazing facilities and staff to perform our shakedown campout and trail ride. They let us camp right on their property and gave us incredibly reasonable rates for the use of their grounds for camping and for a practice trail ride. Without their generous support, we would not have been ready for the cavalcade.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WeOwnAdventure-7-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WeOwnAdventure-7-1-1024x768.jpg" width="306" height="229"></p> <p>Everything about the experience at the BTSR was exceptional. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, from picking us up at the airport, feeding us upon arrival, and making us feel very much at home. All of the horses that we rode were physically sound and without behavioral vices. The tack was serviceable and the terrain was fantastic. Most importantly, the BTSR Cavalcade Program Director Bob Hansler and his wife Shauna were nothing short of superb. They taught our Scouts with deep knowledge of the horses and the terrain.They had a great sense of the experiences that the environment and our timeline could offer the Scouts even as they kept foremost in their minds the safety and well-being of our crew. The program that Bob and Shauna are responsible for building and maintaining at BTSR rivals any equine experience available to Scouts anywhere in the country, including at Philmont Scout Ranch. Further, the fact that the BTSR offers its cavalcade program all year around in addition to in the summers (as is only the case at Philmont) makes going on a horseback high adventure over a long four-day weekend during the academic year a unique opportunity. The BTSR Cavalcade should definitely be considered as an exciting high adventure opportunity for other Scouting units both during the summer and throughout the academic year.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WeOwnAdventure-8.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WeOwnAdventure-8.jpg" width="230" height="306"></p> <p>The Chain Bridge District now has a bona fide horsemanship program for Scouts in the entire NCAC. Since 2017, we have helped over 50 Scouts (both boys and girls) to earn the Horsemanship Merit Badge. We have successfully completed a high adventure horseback riding activity. We have identified partners both within our council and across the country to support this program. Most importantly, we have helped youth to see how they can learn and live the values of Scouting through the equestrian arts.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">For information contact:</p> <p
