Troop 73 participated in the welcome home Color Guard for the WWII veterans aboard the second to last Honor Air flight.  Veterans were taken up to Washington, D.C. to view the War Memorial and were welcomed home by an airport full of cheers and well-wishers.  Troop 73 is planning on serving again, next Saturday evening as Color Guard for the last scheduled Honor Air flight.

Troop 73 on top of Max Patch, NC - April 9, 2011

Starting at the parking lot along Max Patch Road on Saturday morning, the troop hiked to the summit of this special area landmark and enjoyed lunch, before continuing on to set up camp at Roaring Fork Shelter along the Appalachian Trail. Apologies to Nolan, Andy, Evan, Logan & Mr. Vannice for the blurry-ness of the summit shot – but it really is them!

The troop had a backpack supper of mashed potatoes with cheese and summer sausage that night with some sorta chocolatey Oreo thing in a bag – which some drank like a shake and others shunned. The night had it’s challenges with scattered lightning, thunder and marble sized hail – but nothing more serious than a 45 second downpour.

Assistant Scoutmaster Jay Walton proclaims that while Tyvek is a fine new home construction wrap, it is NOT a suitable material for sleeping UNDER – way too crinkly.

We met many AT thru-hikers and were complimented by a few who said that Troop 73 was extremely considerate – way to go guys!

More pics and stories from this trip, on the way.

On Tuesday, August 10th – Troop 73 met at SunSpots Productions to record a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to promote The Boy Scouts of America, The Daniel Boone Council and our troop. The boys had a good time learning about how radio commercials are voiced and produced, and the end result is a spot that the boys can be very proud of!

Take a listen to the radio PSA – it’s on the main Troop 73 web page at the top right – or listen here

Here are some pictures from that recording session:
