Leave No Trace Master Educator Courses Scheduled PDF Print E-mail

Charlie Thorpe, our wizard on Leave No Trace, sent the following e-mail about LNT Master Educator courses to the Yahoo Venturing List for additional dissemination. His e-mail is duplicated -- mostly -- below. You can contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it directly for more information.

Hello All -

Please help distribute this info by placing this message on other Scouting email lists and digital forums where it has not yet been posted.

The article in Scouting Magazine which lists the BSA Masters courses should be on your coffee table by now (I don't have mine yet, but mine is always late for some reason). The ME course info in the Jan - Feb 09 issue of Scouting Mag is the best we had at the cutoff deadline of mid-Oct set by the mag staff (Frank Rreigelman was able to get some of the changes into the article after that, but not all). We are actually looking at a total of 19 courses spread all around the country instead of the 15 listed in the article. One of the courses is for Philmont staff and the other 18 are set up for any/all vol/pro Scouters and older Scouting youth age 18 and up. Many of these courses are hoping to "double" into two courses with different field experiences if registrations warrant.

How to submit a story:

Email the story to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . I'd prefer the story to be sent as a Word document attached to the email but text is fine too. Please send photos as email attachments, not embedded in the text, so I can edit them as necessary (typically cropping and / or adjusting the brightness or contrast). Please send large photos (maybe 640 x 480 pixels) so I can link to full sized photos in the story.

Rocky Mountain Trek PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 06 September 2008 10:34

My father, Tim Dunnahoo, and I, Blake Dunnahoo, as well as Mark Coladonato and his son, Tom, of Venturing Crew 345 in Round Rock, TX recently joined up with Venturing Crew 890 of Dallas, TX for a Rocky Mountain National Park high adventure backpacking trip and we all had a blast. After rendezvousing and spending the night alongside the Arkansas River at a KOA in Colorado, we enjoyed a great introduction to the crew by wrangling some class 4 and 5 rapids through a Royal Gorge rafting outfitter. Rafting Class 5 rapids in the Royal Gorge (Colorado)Walls of white cold rapids broke against our skin, but the sun quickly warmed us up as it beamed through the canyon. The trip organizer, Mr. Squyres of Crew 890, even noted that in the decades that he has been making this trip he has never seen the rapids rage so high at this time of year.
