Shrewsbury Patch - Volunteers in the News May 1, 2011 Scouting
Teaches Many Life Lessons Shrewsbury
resident, Walter Josti, shares his scouting
story. By
Faith Mayer Everyone
has a story to tell. My question is, what's yours? Each week, I will
explore a local character with a story to tell. Today,
let's meet Walter Josti, Jr. who is interested in sharing his love for
scouting; what it has taught him and who he is today because of
it. Walter
Josti, Mohegan Council member and second generation Scout, jokes that he
was unofficially started in scouting the day he was born. Officially, he
joined at the age of 8, when he became a Lion Scout. His dad, also named
Walter, joined the Scouts in 1933 at the age of 13. Today, Walter Sr. is
still a registered member, at age 88, and responsible for four generations
of Scouting success. When
Walt Jr. joined the Lions at the age of 8, he could not have possibly
imagined where his Scouting affiliation would take him in life. Lions were
the precursor to today's Tiger Scouting and the youngest one who
could join the ranks. |

Northeast
Region Scouting Family Asked to Support American Red Cross and Salvation
Army Efforts in Southeast We
are all aware of the incredible devastation and loss of life in the
Southeast on Wednesday, April 27. So very many people have lost
loved ones and homes and, among these, we're sure that many are
Scouting families in the impacted states of Arkansas, Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee. The death toll and destruction
is simply staggering. Among
the communities hardest hit was Tuscaloosa, AL. We're
relieved to report that the local council office and staff was spared. The
office is now being used as a collection point for donations of food
etc. Their camp is being used as a staging area by the Alabama State
Police. Their website says it all: http://www.bwc-bsa.org/openrosters/view_homepage.asp?orgkey=2295 In
the Chattanooga tri-state TV viewing area, 78 people in Tennessee, NW
Georgia and NE Alabama have lost their lives, in addition to the terrible
destruction of homes and businesses. Nearly 100,000 are without power
in the Chattanooga area alone and will be for some time. It's
being described as the worst disaster in the history of the Tennessee
Valley. The
Cherokee Area Council in Chattanooga is also
responding: http://www.cherokeeareabsa.com/openrosters/view_homepage.asp?orgkey=791 This
is our opportunity to offer support. We're
encouraging our entire Northeast Region Scouting Family to support the
efforts of the American Red Cross and Salvation Army as they work hard to
bring comfort and support to those in our Southeastern states.
Contributions may be sent to either your local chapters or through
the BSA web page: http://www.scouting.org/. Please
be as generous as you can. Bob

Friends
of Treasure Valley By
Ray Griffin Through
the efforts of Paul Sweeney, the Degreasing Devices Co. donated a
degreasing machine to TVSR. The device is bench top size and uses
ultra-sonic physics to degrease small parts. Joe, do not use this device
to degrease your hands! Despite
adequate planning, forces worked against us on April 27 ,
especially the weather, which cut short our =E2=80=9Crepair platform
project=E2=80=9D. Even with the abbreviated time-on-task, four sites are
now ready for tents , Evergreen, Pine Acres, High Mesa and
Thunderbird. Madore is in process. Thanks to the guys who persevered in
the rain to get this much work completed. With
the lumber purchased and cut to size, we will complete Madore, the Central
Staff area and all sites in the =E2=80=9CRidge=E2=80=9D section including
Hemlock when we next meet. We will start 05-18 with two platform repair
crews loaded with lumber and tools. We
assembled all metal framed chairs by attaching the wood seats and wood
backs. Those chairs remain in the Ward Room of the Health Lodge. All
window treatments in the Ward Room are installed. Double bunks were
dismantled and moved to the treatment room. The
larger bathroom's borders (ceiling and floor) plus the entry door
have been painted to match the Ward Room and the corridor. We may need to
delay painting the walls in order to concentrate on platform
repairs. The
kitchen has a brand new refrigerator and coffee maker donated to TVSR in
name of the Friends of Treasure Valley. Each of you inspired and motivated
this donation=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6 Rumor has it that another donation, a
stove, is on the horizon. The
one task that MUST be completed prior to the opening of camp is to
wash/wax the tile floors in the Treatment Room, the corridor, the kitchen
and the Ward Room. Our next planned project day is 05-18-2011. If you're interested in learning more about the Friends of Treasure Valley please contact Ray Griffin at ray.j.griffin@gmail.com Once again THANK YOU to a great bunch of guys , the Friends of Treasure Valley. __________________________________________________________________________________ Take
