Troop 1048 Scoutmaster

Scoutmaster - Mike Couturier

A little bit about the Scoutmaster. I've been Scoutmaster of Troop 1048 since February of 2004. I was a Cubmaster for 2 years and Assistant Den Leader for 4 years in Hawaii. I was also an Assistant Cubmaster for Cub Pack 4048 for 2 years. Before taking over as Scoutmaster I also served as an Assistant Scoutmaster.

Scoutmaster's Minute

Hello Troop 1048

First I want to say congratulations to the Blank and Wolverine patrol’s. The Blanks were only 3 points from taking first place in the overall Klondike Derby, the Wolverines were just a couple of points behind them. The blanks finished 3rd in the Sled race, while the Wolverines finished 9th, out of 25 patrols. I think this is only the beginning for these patrols, watch out next year.

I would also like to thank Jim and Chad for taking the boys camping to help with Cub Scout winterfest, I’ve heard good things. I know they earned their Polar Bear. Thanks again boys and adults for showing the Cub Scouts a good time.

Thanks to all the Scouts and Adults that came to Church on Scout Sunday, the support you showed to our Chartered Organization. It just make me proud to be a part of such a great Troop. We almost had more Scouts than church members.

Well it’s Blue and Gold Cub Scout season, for the OA members in the Troop it’s going to get very busy, 3 ceremonies in a row starting Saturday February 20th (Pack 4032, Twin Lake). Sunday the 21st (Pack 4048, Whitehall), then Monday the 22nd (Pack 4065, Oakridge). We’ve already done 2 Troop OA Unit Elections with many more to come. OA brothers I want to thank you in advance, your living up to the obligation you swore to uphold, I wish more OA members would step up in the chapter. Again thanks for all your hard work.

March 28th looks like it’ll be our next Court of Honor, we’ll get more out to you once we get some details worked out.

Scoutmaster Minute:

The Scout slogan is to do a good turn daily. We should all do at least one good turn a day, but is that enough? John Wesley (1703-1791, Anglican clergyman and evangelist) said: (The Scoutmaster Minute, by Ron Wendel)

Do all the good you can

By all the means you can

In all the ways you can

In all the places you can

Do all the good you can

At all the times you can

As long as ever you cann

Do you remember how the Boy Scouts of America started?

Yours in Scouting - Mike Couturier, Scoutmaster
