We have finally finalized our program for our special two-Saturday Wilderness First Aid Basics class... I believe we now have a program schedule that will work well for our volunteer staff and our participants. Here is the revised schedule:
Saturday, May 10, 2008, 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM (note the class ending time change)
Saturday, May 17, 2008, 8:45 AM - 5:00 PM
First Class Meeting, Saturday, May 10, 2008 - The LDS church building located at 16833 T C Jester at the NW corner of TC Jester and Louetta, just west of Kuykendahl. Check-in will begin at 8:30 AM and the class will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. Class fees are due at check-in unless you have made other arrangements with Dan. The first class meeting will be primarily presentations, demonstrations and videos with some skills practice in a classroom setting. There will be no outdoor component. Dress comfortably though... we will be inside all day. The class will end about 6:30 PM not at 9:00 PM as was the original schedule. We will provide pizza and drinks for lunch and an afternoon snack. Participants will have a written homework assignment which should be fun and will get you prepared for our second weekend at Camp Strake.
Second Class Meeting, Saturday, May 17, 2008 - BSA Camp Strake Conference Center. All participants should be on site no later than 8:45 AM. The class will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. This class meeting will concentrate on practical skills in an outdoor setting. Dress comfortably. We suggest that you wear older clothes that you do not mind getting dirty. The afternoon scenarios will be very realistic and are professionally moulaged... This is probably not a good time to wear your newest "full field uniform". Please dress for the weather conditions as a good portion of the class will be held out doors. We will provide a professionally catered lunch at the Conference Center Dining Room. The class should end about 5:00 PM.
You will receive a participants manual and handbook at the first class meeting. You really will not need anything else except a little patience and a desire to have a good time. We will provide the necessary first aid supplies you will need for the scenarios. We will do our best to accommodate dietary needs and preferences but we do recommend that you bring your own food if you have special requirements.
This should be a fun class... It is our last WFAB until September and our first WFAB presented in a two-Saturday format... If you have specific questions, please email us... just reply to your confirmation email from Dan or send your questions to WFAB@scoutcpr.org.

Friday, May 2, 2008 - Service Project at the ARC Northern Branch
Office

Saturday, May 17, 2008 - Second Saturday of our two-Saturday WFAB
class
Guys... we need to help out at the chapter this Friday evening, May
2, 2008... What we need to do will not take too long and it really
isn't that hard. We need to move everything that is currently stored
in the ladies bathroom into the classroom. This includes a lot of the
shelter equipment, especially the cots. We will also need to take
down the shelves and store them in the classroom too. Rumor has it
that pizza and drinks for all who help will be provided and we can
likely use the AV and sound system after we are done if we do not
block it with the "stuff". Please let Patrick or David know quick if
you can help... or Email me. We need at least five youth members to
get this done easily. Let's plan to meet at the chapter office about
6:00 PM... we should be done easily by 8:00 PM. This must be done
Friday evening. The Chapter has workmen scheduled Saturday morning
and "everything" must be out of the bathroom by then...
Saturday, May 10 - Our first class session for our two-Saturday WFAB
class. We need our WFAB-Instructors for this one. It will be a large
class and we need several additional volunteers to assist with lunch
and dinner. We need our ER trained teenagers Saturday evening for the
assessment scenarios. All our youth instructors are welcome to co-
teach this class too. The location for the first weekend is the LDS
church building at 16833 T C Jester located at the Northwest corner
of TC Jester and Louetta, just west of Kuykendahl. This will be the
first time we have used this facility and we will need help setting
up and handling the meals.
Saturday, May 17 - Our second class session for our two-Saturday WFAB
class. We need all our trained "victims" for this one! We will be
setting up the fully moulaged multi-casualty scenarios for a larger
than usual group... so we need everyone! Let Patrick or David know
quick if you will be helping with this one... or email me. We also
have a FA-CPR/AED class scheduled and we will need a lead instructor
for that class. No BAT program though. This class session will be at
BSA Camp Strake Conference Center.
That is all the training until September! We do have our Chisholm
Trail Adventure coming June 22-28th, 2008. It should be an awesome
trip and we still have room for Crew-911 members as well as our green
shirted friends. See the April 9th Enews for more information or
email Mimi.

Just a quick note about some upcoming opportunities for our Crew-911 members and our green shirted friends!
First from Mr. Hanchett... let the crew know Timber Lakes pool is looking for a number of guards for this summer. The girl, Jammie that took Chelsea's place as manager is leaving so they want to interview a couple of people to run the pool. Not only does it pay more but they can do pool cleaning all year long. They let the person set their own hours as long as it gets cleaned.
Here is a fun one for just our canoe trained female members.... from Jennifer Kempton Camp Director. Our church youth group has rented the Girl Scout Camp Whispering Pines campground in Garrison/Nacogdoches Texas. We need a canoe and archery/BB instructor for:
June 11th- 13th, 2008, (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday)
We will provide food, lodging, snacks, swimming, and all the fun they can have in three days.
Email me if you are interested in this one... Mrs. Kempton really needs a FOC trained person for this. Our Deer Lake Canoe Clinic graduates do meet the requirement and our GSUSA ER/LG trained youth members should be acceptable too. This is a paid opportunity and the compensation will be worked out with Mrs. Kempton. This looks like a good opportunity for Kim, Kira or Kristy.
And we have another Wood Badge youth staff opportunity from Jan Watson... I am following up with more information on our need for additional Venturing Youth for SR-920. We have 5 youth staff confirmed. I would like to have an additional 4 to give us an alternate in the event we lose another. There is plenty to do so the additional staffer would certainly not be bored.
We would like to have them arrive between 5-6 Thursday evening, April 24th. They will camp in the model campsite we will assemble tomorrow at Strake. They will be busy until the following evening. They are welcome to stay through campfire.
I appreciate your help. As you can see, we are on a short runway and really need assistance.
This is a great opportunity to show adults what Venturing is all about. All our Crew-911 youth members and our green shirted friends are welcome to apply. You will need to let me or Bill Berry know "quick" if you want to do this. We will make the recommendation and help you contact Mrs. Watson. Note that you will miss school... AND remember that the Deer Lake Canoe Clinic begins next Friday too.
Tomorrow, April 19, 2008 is Scout Fair... The Cargo Van will depart Lamar Elementary at 7:00 AM... Next weekend, April 25-27 is The Deer Lake Canoe Clinic... We are counting on you guys!
