issues of Pelican Feathers
| From the Editor: Trevor Leckie Well, we start this issue of Pelican Feathers off by saying that this will be a very short edition. There are numerous reasons, one being that the trip which was scheduled (Snow Carnping) was cancelled, probably because the leaders felt that they could not camp in the extreme cold. Now I'm just speculating. No, I know that the roads were very slick with ice and it would have been very unsafe to put you all on the road so the trip was cancelled. The second reason that this is a short issue is that YOU PEOPLE DON' T GIVE ME ANY ARTICLES!!!!! Now come on people!!! Did I really have to put that last thought in bold, italics, underline, and put it in CAPITAL letters?? I have previously written about the lack of articles in this newspaper but nobody has given me any articles. One scout, (I'm not going to name anybody) e-mailed me and said that he was going to have an article at the Greenbar meeting, but Mark Adamiak never gave me the article. Ooops, I slipped. This message also goes out to you Patrol Leaders. You are supposed to have your scribes write me an article and then you are supposed to give that article to me at the Greenbar. What do I have to do to get you to follow through? Should I write it on your heads backwards so that you can see it in the mirror!?! C'mon. On a different note, I can't wait for the ski trip coming up. Also, included in this issue is a survey that we (meaning the leadership and big wigs of the Troop) need you to fill out and give to your patrol leaders before the Greenbar so that they can bring the completed surveys to the Greenbar. Thanks. Trevor Leckie |
Elk Mountain Ski Trip By: Jeff Morris This weekend is the Elk Mountain Ski/Snowboarding Trip. Personally, this is the best trip that we as Boy Scouts take. This is the first year that the Troop is allowing snowboarders and I ain very excited. I hope that there are many people that are going to take advantage of this privilege and will board. I know that I will.
