Eternal Flame Flag Retirement and Advancement Weekend September 25-27, 2009, at Camp Pollock
This year’s theme, “When Duties Combine . . .,” focuses on two lines of defense, the Federal Government (SAC) and various volunteer organizations. They want to give Scouts, their Families, and the Public, information concerning these distinctly different groups and see how they actually come together in time of need. This year’s participants will be able to learn about the history of SAC, work with volunteers side by side, and what are the plans for the keeping our Nation secure. For the Scouts attending, they will have various advancement opportunities available. Their plan is to have activities for all age levels that are geared to this year’s Theme. Amongst all the fun, it is above all a time to respectfully Retire United States Flags that the Sacramento Area Community has provided. They humbly accept the “challenge” to retire over 2,700 US flags.

Eternal Flame Weekend
 
While some people think we are burning flags, it is appropriate to say we are “Retiring” Flags.  Boy Scouts Troop 107, along with the Pioneer District, will opnce again be to this year’s Eternal Flame and Advancement Weekend. Throughout the 40-hour event we will “Retire” roughly 2,700 US flags.  People don’t know what to do with their old flags.  We are able to help them with this dilemma.  Troops within our Council and the public are invited to our free annual event, located near downtown Sacramento.  Camp Pollock, located at 1501 Northgate Blvd., is close to the intersection of Del Paso Blvd and Northgate Blvd.  Throughout Saturday, October 4, guests can come the participate in various events.  This year’s theme is based on the Star Wars series. All events will have a “Star Wars” theme to them.

Rob C is coordinating the adult menu and will be sending out a request for assistance with the menu.

Please, Please, settle up with Joshua C ASAP. He needs the money ASAP. More to follow, I am sure from both Rob C and Joshua C

Also, I have again attached the info sheet for this campout. If anyone has any questions about the trip, contact me by Thursday before noon. I am heading up there early Thursday and will not be available after this.

Also, if anyone is thinking about coming home on Saturday night, we have at least one scout that is trying to get home a little early. If you are an adult coming home Saturday, Andrew C (one of our new Eagle scouts) needs a ride. Please let him know of your plans.

Also, a big thank you ahead of time to Andrew C, Daniel D and Joseph P for coming out this weekend. These older scouts will be the instructors for our training this weekend, and have volunteered to come out and help the younger scouts. Please thank these young gentlemen for their interest and involvement in helping out. Also, please note that since these young men will be in charge of our program they are invited to join the adults in our meals. A man sized job deserves a man sized meal!!!! Thanks guys, I appreciate your help more then you know.

We will be working on Knife and axe, knots and lashing, water rescue techniques, first aid, and cooking. If anyone has any water rescue equipment (throw ropes, life jackets, throw rings) please bring them out.

I think that is all for now. I hope to see all of you this weekend. We will have fun.

Directions:

Take Highway 50 east from Placerville for 21 miles to the Icehouse Road turnoff on the left.   Travel north for 16 miles to campground entrance, which I think will be on the left.  (Also try these hyperlinks for maps.  I pulled them off the “Reserveamerica.com” website.
