SURPRISE FOR A LONGHORN TIGER CUB:  Nathaniel Gribble of Pack 253 received an unexpected SURPRISE at the Tiger Cub Adventure Day, an event for new Tiger Cubs.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR UNIT BE DOING THIS FALL?  Some of the best activities for your Den or patrol, Pack, Troop or Crew (or for your family) are located at Longhorn Council camps and facilities.  FIND OUT about them!

RECHARTERING COMING UP SOON:  Annual rechartering of your pack, troop or crew is coming up in the next few months.  A new twist this year that may make the process easier is Online Rechartering.

MANY PARENTS EXPERIENCE "STICKER SHOCK" when they are asked to pay all the fees at the time they sign up their child for Scouting.  It doesn't have to be that way!

ELECTION DAY NEXT MONTH:  Sometimes the first experience a youth will have with citizenship will be through Scouting.  Don't miss next month's election as an opportunity for learning in your pack, troop, crew or family.  READ the story of a famous Eagle Scout in politics.  LEARNabout Scouts and Eagles in our government.

November NRA Classes

Hi All,
In case you haven't seen the attached applications on the Council web site they are for a November Rifle/Shotgun/RSO class that will be at Worth Ranch in November I know several of you ask me to notify you when the next class was scheduled. Also if you have anyone who my want to just attend a RSO class we are offering that as well. Beginning in January the 2 deep trained leadership to open a council range will be implemented. We have limited opening for the Rifle/Shotgun /RSO class still available , but several for the RSO class. So if you have fellow scouter who want and need the training help me help you and pass along the information and the applications.

Shoot Safely,

Dennis

Arrowmen:

Good evening.  For those who didn't make it to the Sid Richardson Ordeal on September 20-22, I would like to announce our new Ordeal and Brotherhood members:

Ordeal Members:

Asa Rice

Brotherhood Members:

Congratulations to these members!  And we still need to get other candidates to do their Ordeal and our eligible Ordeal members to do their Brotherhood.  We have a couple of opportunities for conversions.  We have a BH opportunity at our District Camporee on Nov 15-17 at Worth Ranch.  We also have a last-minute Ordeal at Worth Ranch for Ordeals & Brotherhoods at Worth Ranch on December 6-8.  I've attached the Brotherhood question & answer sheet for your help.  You can go to the Longhorn Council website to register for the Ordeal, and check with your troop or team to see about registering for the Camporee.  We (your Chapter and your Lodge) still need help to reach our goal of Ordeal & Brotherhood conversions to reach our Journey to Excellence goal for the year.  PLEASE HELP US!  If you're planning on being at the District Camporee and you've been an Ordeal member for at least 10 months, go ahead and do your Brotherhood - I'll even give you your BH sash at no extra cost!  That's free!!!

For this month's activity, we have something special!  One of our Arrowmen, ANDREW FALETTI, has earned his Eagle rank and wants to celebrate this with his fellow Arrowmen and will have his EAGLE COURT OF HONOR at the Elks Lodge on Tuesday, Oct. 15 as part of our Chapter meeting.  Please come celebrate this occasion with him and have a piece of cake with him after the ceremony.  Our Chapter ceremony team will be doing an OA ceremony as part of the COH.

.   

As follow up, the last Ordeal date of the year is December 6-8 at Worth Ranch.  Please remind candidates that they need to attend an Ordeal weekend to complete their journey into the OA, and current Ordeal members are encouraged to seal their OA membership by doing their Brotherhood  

 As always, the Talahi Chapter meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m., at the Elks Lodge, located at 601 W. Pioneer Pkwy, Arlington, TX 76010.   Our next scheduled meeting is at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, October 15, 2013.  The chapter officers and I would like to invite all Arrowmen to attend our meeting.  If you're a regular attendee, it will be great to see you again.  If you haven't been to a meeting in a while, please come and reconnect with the Order of the Arrow - we've missed you!  Also, if you have any suggestions for meeting events, please let your Chapter Chief or me know; we want to provide an interesting program for you.

Yours in Brotherhood,

Gary Faletti

Talahi Chapter Adviser

Cub Scout Roundtable

Semper Gumby!

Always be Flexible!

Those who came to the September Roundtable understand the concept.  Due to preschool recruitment at Pantego Christian Academy we were unable to meet in the library.

We will meet as regularly scheduled on Tuesday, October 8, at 7:30 pm.  We will cover the topics that were originally scheduled for last month.  Again, this is an excellent opportunity to bring all of your leaders in order to give them a broad overview of the scouting program. With the start of a new Cub Scouting year, make an effort to get everyone on board for an exciting year.

In addition, recharter packages will be available at the October Roundtable.  Come and get them so that you can have them completed as early as possible.

See you Tuesday,

Ron Ronalder, Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner

October Scout Roundtable

Be Prepared.

We have all heard that before. The October Scout Roundtable is designed to help you and those around you to "Be Prepared".

At the October 8^th Scout Roundtable, 7:30 PM, we will have a program that may save your life. Violence in the work-place, at school, at sporting events, in shopping malls and even at Church seems to be an ever recurring news event. Headlines that read: "Shooter Takes Hostages" is an all-too-often happening. Because such violence is growing it really could happen to you; maybe at a Scout activity.  The next Roundtable program will be conducted by awarded Law Enforcement Officer Daniel Sherwin who is also an Eagle Scout and Silver Beaver recipient from Longhorn Council. Daniel has been in local law enforcement for 25 years and has a distinguished career and extensive resume. He will present Seven Active Listening Skills that are used in Hostage Negotiations that are designed to de-escalate active shooter situations and contain irate persons.  This session may help save your life or those in your care. You are encouraged to attend this very informative presentation.

BUT ALSO, we are going to have a pre-Roundtable gathering. Beginning at 7pm, Council representatives will inform units how they may qualify for free cloth rank advancement awards for your unit. To qualify for free advancement awards a unit representative is required to attend this pre-roundtable presentation.

All of this and announcements too! See you October 8^th, Pantego Christian Academy, on Park Row.
