This year, Troop 16 is supporting the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker, by providing trash services for their Parker Brewfest event. The net profit from this event will be donated thru the CCV Rotary Club to a variety of charitable organizations, as well as to support leadership and educational scholarships…all within Douglas County.
Members of Troop 16 can sign up for shifts to pick up trash to add funds to their scout accounts. It is estimated, each scouter will earn about $8/hour. This is a rain or shine event happening on August 19, 2017 at O’Brien Park in beautiful downtown Parker. If you are interested, visit the signup page.

Last month, I wrote an article on the topic of bullying (Part 2). With the start of the new school year and more activities, such as sports and clubs beginning as scouts we need to help each other and our school peers regarding this serious topic. I have also interviewed Mrs. Lipman on the topic because she feels strongly about this subject. You can read this interview under Part 1.

There are over 50 Fourteeners (summits above 14,000 feet) in Colorado. How many have you bagged? The August campout will be your chance to join the elite Fouteener club or to add to your list of summits. Mt. Sherman (14,036 feet) will be our objective. We will hike from the trailhead 2500 feet below the summit to to qualify for the Colorado Fourteener Club patch and summit before noon on Saturday. Weather permitting, we will have a campfire on Saturday night.
