Troop 16 is in need of adult volunteers to keep our Troop running. Many of our parents who hold adult leadership positions in the troop are very close to their sons obtaining Eagle Scout rank and aging out. We are looking to fill many needed positions and would like to fill these positions while there is time to have a positive and productive transition. Please feel free to talk to Noelle Baldwin (committee chair) and/or the current person holding the position if you have any questions.
We are looking for the following positions to be filled:
- First Year Scoutmaster – responsible for assisting with crossover ceremonies, organizing the first parent meeting and the first overnight campout, running scoutmaster conferences for Scout to First Class ranks and making sure the first year scouts and parents have everything they need to be successful. Ron Carlson is our current First Year Scoutmaster and he will be transitioning to a Life to Eagle Coordinator so we need to fill his shoes.
- Life to Eagle Coordinator (2 positions) – responsible for mentoring our youth as they progress from Life rank through their journey to acquire the Eagle rank. Mark Williams and Michael Person are our current coordinators and are looking for passionate about Scouting adults and have around two to three years of experience.
- Summer BBQ Coordinator– responsible for organizing the summer barbecue and pool party following Parker Days. Please speak with Mr. Fournier for more information.
- Adventure Race Coordinator – responsible for one of our favorite campouts and largest recruiting event for the Troop. Please talk to Mr. Christiansen and/or Mr. Nash.
- Eagle Court of Honor Setup Coordinator– Responsible for setting up and maintaining drinks at the potluck for the Court of Honor and Eagle Court of Honors. Also responsible for purchasing supplies for these functions. Please speak with Mrs. Mead for more information.

Scouts will hike through the valley with views of nearby Bison and Windy Peak and work on skills such as fire starting, water filtration/purification, land navigation and how to properly set up/break down camp in the back country.

Very early this morning, Troop 16 had two members honored with Vigil in the Order of the Arrow!
Vigil is an honor that is given to those who have been active as a Brotherhood member for at least 2 years in the OA, and they must be nominated by their peers. This year, there were only 8 chosen in all of Denver Area Council, and our troop had two of those.
Dr. Boyd was given the Vigil name Wischiki Meteu, which means Busy Medicine Man, and Kyle P was given the Vigil name Wulantowagan, which means He Who Has Good Spirits. Lets congratulate them on this honor!

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce Troop 16’s newest Eagle Scouts. Christian D. and Colin D. now share one more thing in common, besides being twins. Both boys have earned their Eagle Scout rank tonight.
Christian, the troop’s 127th Eagle, collected over 600 books to send to operationpaperback.org. From there, the books are then given to our troops that are stationed overseas.
Colin, the troop’s 128th Eagle, created 50 survival backpacks to give to the Urban Peak organization. From there, the backpacks are given to homeless youth of Denver.
Congratulations Christian and Colin, you are Eagle Scouts!
