They Came, They Climbed . . .They Conquered!

Albemarle's spring camporee, hosted by the Dare County Sherriff Department's Alpine Tower was a challenge for some. Some members hit the tower as quickly as they could; others watched and waited to go for the challenge. Other groups split off to work with the Parks Department on an oyster reef restoration project. George Bowman did a great job on coordinating the event; Randy Williamson worked the service project side of the event. They conquered!

Albemarle Chapter - Go for the Gold!

Membership drives everything, and a youth run organization can only exist with youth members. The challenge is on the table; encourage youth who have gone to ordeal to re-register and get active with the chapter. It takes the energy and passion of these young men to offer service to the community and Scouting. Twelve of twenty-one units who could potentially have members do not have any registered members.

Two boys at the camporee demonstrated the virtues of Brotherhood as one reaches to take another's burden.

Congratulations to Troop 169 in Moyock for having more Blue Heron Lodge members than any other troop in the district.

Day Camp 2012

June 18 - 22 at the Coast Guard Base in Elizabeth City, or Nags Head Park in the Outer Banks - it's an Island Adventure! Hurry and complete the required advance registration for the best available price. New recruits in the spring are eligible for the "early bird" price.

Don't let the boat sail for the Island Adventure without the cub scouts from your pack!

WIII_fmis not a great old radio station - it translates to "what is in it for me?" - a question that some Boy Scout troops may be asking when it comes to camping. Short-term (2 nights) and long-term camping are what most boys expect when they join a Boy Scout troop. They are more enthusiastic, will stay with the program longer and be more likely to invite friends to join (remember that requirement for 1st Class) if they realize that someone lived up to the promise. If a boy can't make the week the troop is going to camp, consider provisional camping with another troop or sending him to NYLT at Pipsico in August. Your troop will be stronger as a result. If your troop is not listed, please send information to southernpatriot1960@yahoo.com to be included in the report.

The Nature Conservancy at Nags Head Woods Preserve is looking for volunteers to help with our South End Shoreline Restoration Project. Volunteers are needed to bag oyster shells, build oyster mats and oyster reef as well as plant marsh and upland plant habitat.

• If you are interested in participating, please email Kate Murray at the Nags Head Woods office at kmurray@tnc.org or call (252) 441 2525. We ask that all individuals sign up so we have a count of how many will be coming.

Project abstract: Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a 1,200 acre nature preserve managed by The Nature Conservancy, is currently experiencing significant shoreline erosion along the southern boundary of the preserve. The Town of Nags Head, a partner in the conservation efforts of Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve, owns the 40-acre parcel experiencing a high rate of erosion and is concerned that the erosion will impact a historical access road and adjacent properties in the very near-term. We are undertaking a comprehensive ecosystem restoration pilot project to: 1) stabilize the high-bank shoreline and prevent further erosion using natural materials; 2) restore native maritime salt shrub, coastal marsh, and shallow water habitats 3) build ecosystem resilience to sea-level rise, and 4) demonstrate natural alternatives to hard shoreline stabilization to neighboring property owners.
