SUMMER CAMP Summer Camp 2008 was great - no major problems - somewhat hotter than last year. We finally got a little rain on Friday afternoon. Our first year campers, Luke Clement, Casey Dodson, Nicholas Giles, Kellum Johnson, Robert Perkins, Samuel Phillips and Sean Walker, did great! Many thanks to the adults who spent the week with me, Kathy Daniel, Dennis Harden, Dorsey Horne, Jim Klaus, and Jeff White. A big thanks to Jeff for working with our new scouts all week. Let us not forget all the work that went into getting ready for camp - many thanks to Gore Ervin (Scheduling), Kathy Daniel (Physicals) , Tom Falana (Transportation) and Jon Doliana (Swim Tests). We will have a copy of all merit badge paperwork for you by our next troop meeting. Despite the super human efforts of our "Camp Mom", Kathy Daniel, we still fell a few points shy of the coveted "Golden Broom Award" again this year in the campsite inspection. A group picture from camp is attached.
ANTHONY SIGISMONDMost of you know that Anthony broke his leg sliding into home plate a couple of days prior to summer camp and was still in the hospital when we left on Sunday.This update from his Mom was waiting for me when I returned from camp. Hi, all.
Anthony had a surgery on Monday and everything went well. He was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon and now he is resting at home.
He is in a lot of pain still, but he is doing fine. I got a wheelchair and crutches for him, but right now he is not supposed to be putting any weight on his right leg.
Thank you for your concerns, kind words, visits, emails, phone calls and gifts. We really appreciate it.
Also, thank you for taking care of his trip cancellations.
Hope he will heal quickly so he can join everyone again!
Nori Anthony won't be out and about much for a while, so stay in touch with him!
IOWA TORNADO
By now, I know you have all heard about the devastating tornados that tragically took the lives of the four Boy Scouts last week in Iowa . What you may not have had a chance to see is the interview with two of the young men that survived that ran this morning on NBC. I have included the link below.
Lots to make us think about and for which to be thankful.
June 12: TODAY’s Ann Curry talks to Boy Scouts Taylor Willoughby and Ethan Hession -- and their parents -- about the deadly tornado that hit their camp in Iowa .

This note is from our council office:If you or anyone else would like, you can send donations to us and we will forward once we have collected a substantial amount. If you send to us, please put to the attention of Hugh Travis and mark on your check that it is for the Mid-America Council. You are also welcome to send directly to the Mid-America Council. If you prefer that, let me know and I will send you their mailing address.
Thank you so much for your concern and wanting to help those in need. I cannot imagine what grief and heartache all those affected are going through. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Please let me know if I can be of further help.
The Middle Tennessee Council and Scouting appreciates the outpouring of support to those affected by the events of June 11.
The Middle Tennessee Council has offered the Mid-America Council in Omaha , Nebraska the opportunity of having the troops signed up for summer camp to attend Boxwell and we are waiving the camp fees.
Additionally, those that attend camp will receive assistance in intermediate lodging as they travel to Boxwell provided by the Middle Tennessee Council.
We will keep a list and contact person and forward that to the Mid-America Council indicating a desire to assist.
Donations to offset funeral expenses, camp rebuilding and equipment replacement will be forwarded to the Mid America Council President.
