With Scoutmaster Jeff out until the day of leaving for Tesomas Scout Camp I thought I would send this message out.
I was just recently visiting Tesomas Scout Camp on Sunday, June 9th and i wanted to let people know of a couple of things regarding the conditions within the deep woods.
While it’s not *hot* temp wise like last year, due to the rain/moisture, it’s extremely humid in the woods right now. Because of this, the bugs (mainly Nats and Mosquitoes) are absolutely horrible.
Those attending the week long Summer Camp will want to prepare for the humidity (ensure you carry your water bottle everywhere), and bring some long pants (breathable), as Blue Jeans will make you sweat more, to protect you from the bugs, or bring some good bug spray along with you.
Ensure you bring some moisture proof footwear, or a 2nd pair of footwear as there could be mud/puddles up there.
Enjoy the Camp out..

For his quick thinking and actions to pull a struggling swimmer to safety, Star Scout Adam Kuhlman of Troop 460 was presented with the National Certificate of Merit on April 1.
It was a highlight of the troop’s Court of Honor, with Ed Plante, Eagle River Advancement Chair making the presentation.
The rescue occurred in July of 2012 at a hotel in Madison, Wisconsin. An 11 year-old non-swimmer had jumped into the deep end of the pool and his struggles were noticed by Adam’s grandfather, who called to Adam to assist. Although only 11 at the time, Adam had recently completed his Swimming Merit Badge and knew what to do. Using his Scouting training and experience, Adam swam behind the swimmer, grabbed him by the armpits and pushed/swam him to the safety of ladder.
The National Certificate of Merit is awarded “to a youth member or adult leader who has performed a significant act of service that is deserving of special national recognition.” Only 53 were presented nationwide in 2012.
Congratulations Adam!
