We’ll be in New Mexico in less than 5 months. \nOur next steps are very important. First\, we need to divide ourselves into to two treks. Second\, we need to select our hiking itineraries. \nI want to meet at 8pm on Monday March 21st at the scout house to make those decisions. \nAttached please find one of two important documents that will help us select our itineraries. \nThe second document you will need can be found on line at http://scouting.org/filestore/philmont/camping/2011itinerary/2011ItineraryGuide.pdf \nThere are several factors to consider including\, activities at the various campsites\, length of the hike\, difficulty of the hike. \nTraditionally troop 355 has selected hikes that include the Tooth of Time\, Philmont’s signature peak. \nTherefore I recommend that we choose from on of the following treks; #4\, #5\, #8\, #10\, #11\, #14\, #15\, #16\, #17\, #18\, #19\, #21\, but be can consider any of the other itineraries as well. \nPlease review these documents and come prepared to express you opinion and vote. \nIf you can not attend and want you vote counted please send me an email with your top five choices in order of preference. \nPhilmont will begin accepting requests for itineraries at 8am on Monday April 5th. I intend to be making our request at that time to maximize the changes that we will hike where we want. \nThanks\, \nDave LinkASSISTANT SCOUTMASTEREagle Scout Advancement Troop 355 URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/philmont-planning-meeting/ CATEGORIES:Planning Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110321T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110321T200000 DTSTAMP:20200819T015223Z CREATED:20200819T015223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T015223Z UID:1286-1300734000-1300737600@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Troop Committee Meeting DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/troop-committee-meeting-3/ CATEGORIES:Planning Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110320T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110320T000000 DTSTAMP:20200819T015223Z CREATED:20200819T015223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T015223Z UID:1285-1300579200-1300579200@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Glider Campout DESCRIPTION:Watch for Details URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/glider-campout-2/ CATEGORIES:High Adventure END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110319T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110319T000000 DTSTAMP:20200819T015222Z CREATED:20200819T015222Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T015222Z UID:1284-1300492800-1300492800@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Glider Campout DESCRIPTION:Watch for Details URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/glider-campout/ CATEGORIES:High Adventure END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110315T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110315T184500 DTSTAMP:20200819T015222Z CREATED:20200819T015222Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T015222Z UID:1283-1300212000-1300214700@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:San Marino City Club Flag Ceremony DESCRIPTION:Color Guard for San Marino City Club : The San Marino City Club hs asked for the San Marino Troops to provide a Color Guard at each of their meetings.

The presentation will take less than an hour and I will stay to answer the Scouts’ questions. \nParents of Life Scout’s are welcome to come and listen in. \nPlease let me know if you are planing on attending so that I can prepare the appropriate number of handouts. \nThanks\, \nDave LinkASSISTANT SCOUTMASTEREagle Scout AdvancementTroop 355 URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/eagle-scout-orientation-for-life-scouts/ CATEGORIES:Planning Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110228T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110228T203000 DTSTAMP:20200819T015218Z CREATED:20200819T015218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T015218Z UID:1274-1298921400-1298925000@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Troop MeetingOrder of the Arrow Elections DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/troop-meetingorder-of-the-arrow-elections/ CATEGORIES:Troop Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110228T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110228T193000 DTSTAMP:20200819T015217Z CREATED:20200819T015217Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T015217Z UID:1273-1298917800-1298921400@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Communications MB Session 3 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/communications-mb-session-3/ CATEGORIES:Merit Badge END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110226T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110226T180000 DTSTAMP:20200819T015217Z CREATED:20200819T015217Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T015217Z UID:1272-1298739600-1298743200@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Pack 357 Blue and Gold Celebration DESCRIPTION:Pack 357 will hold their Blue and Gold Celebration at the Pasadena Nazarene Church\, 3700 Sierra Madre Blvd\, Pasadena from 5:00 to 6:00.

We will leave town right after school\, eat dinner on the way up and meet at the luxurious Snow Creek Condominiums (numbers 453 and 460 in phase 3). We’ll head out for rentals and groceries after that. After a good night sleep we’ll make the 20 minute drive over to Main Lodge and check in with the Mammoth Ski Patrol for a safety lecture. Then it’s off to the slopes! Accomplished skiers and snow boarders will be able to earn the Snow Sports Merit Badge. After a day on the slopes\, it’s back to the condo and we’ll cook up some dinner and relax. On Sunday morning we’ll check out of the condo and you can hit the slopes again or head home. \nThe Cost:$120 per camper (father or son) will cover the first class condominium accommodations at the fabulous Snow Creek Resort. Because we are making a financial commitment for the condos you must make your non-refundable payment for the trip by Monday January 31st. Please make the checks out to BSA Troop 355. If I do not receive your check by that day\, I will assume you have changed you mind\, and will give your spot to someone on the wait list. Send you check to:Brian Snaer\,2605 South Oak Knoll Ave San Marino\, CA 91108 \nDon’t forget to budget for other significant expenses including: lift tickets\, rental gear\, food\, and gas.Lift tickets: $92 (age 19+) per day $69 (age 13-18) $46 (age 7-12) \nMammoth only sells ½ day tickets starting at 12:30 pm\, i.e.\, no morning ½ day tickets. If you will be skiing two days you can save 10% on a 2 day lift ticket by purchasing on-line or over the phone at least 14 days in advance. (Here is a helpful site: http://www.mammothmountain.com/MountainActivities/Tickets/.) \nEquipment: If you don’t have your own skis / board\, you will need to make arrangements to rent. You can rent locally (i.e.\, Sports Chalet)\, rent from a local store in Mammoth when you arrive on Friday\, or from Mammoth directly. We will not have time on Saturday morning to rent equipment\, so please plan ahead. \nFood: Dinner on your own Friday night. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday – in the condo. Lunch Saturday on the hill. Saturday dinner – either in the condo or at a restaurant. \nWhat to bring:Bring warm waterproof skiwear\, dress in layers\, gloves\, hat or helmet\, goggles or sunglasses. Plan on 20 degrees\, snowy weather and we can adjust from there. Bring a fanny pack or daypack to keep your 10 essentials in when you’re on the slopes. Scouts should also bring a sleeping bag in case you end up sleeping on the floor of the condo with your buddies. \nSupervision & Ability groups:Mammoth has a wide verity of terrain and snow conditions. Just like with the safe swim defense we will need to establish ability groups. Skiers who can manage parallel traverses\, wedge turns and hockey stops (i.e.\, intermediate level or above) will do fine with the group of skiers who will go off to earn the snow sports badge with their merit badge instructor. Skiers hoping to earn the snow sports merit badge will need to demonstrate skiing skill on advanced terrain. Skiers who have not mastered those skills will enjoy some of the less demanding runs toward the bottom of the hill. If your son is not quite ready to earn the merit badge please plan to come on the trip and supervise him on the slopes. \nDirections:Take the I-210 freeway north until you can catch the I-5 freeway north. In 5 miles you will see a sign for Hwy 14 North (Lancaster/Palmdale). You will stay on Hwy 14 for about an hour until you come to Mojave. Drive through Mojave until you come to the end of town and follow the sign that reads Bishop/Reno”. You will follow the curve to the right. Hwy 14 turns into Hwy 395 after about 50 miles on this road. After 2 to 3 hours during which you will pass through a variety of small rural towns\, you will come to Bishop. In about 45 minutes you will see a sign that reads “Mammoth Lakes\, Highway 203\, Devil’s Postpile”\, take this exit. At the bottom stop sign take a left and follow Hwy 203 into Mammoth Lakes.

We will leave town right after school\, eat dinner on the way up and meet at the luxurious Snow Creek Condominiums (numbers 453 and 460 in phase 3). We’ll head out for rentals and groceries after that. After a good night sleep we’ll make the 20 minute drive over to Main Lodge and check in with the Mammoth Ski Patrol for a safety lecture. Then it’s off to the slopes! Accomplished skiers and snow boarders will be able to earn the Snow Sports Merit Badge. After a day on the slopes\, it’s back to the condo and we’ll cook up some dinner and relax. On Sunday morning we’ll check out of the condo and you can hit the slopes again or head home. \nThe Cost:$120 per camper (father or son) will cover the first class condominium accommodations at the fabulous Snow Creek Resort. Because we are making a financial commitment for the condos you must make your non-refundable payment for the trip by Monday January 31st. Please make the checks out to BSA Troop 355. If I do not receive your check by that day\, I will assume you have changed you mind\, and will give your spot to someone on the wait list. Send you check to:Brian Snaer\,2605 South Oak Knoll Ave San Marino\, CA 91108 \nDon’t forget to budget for other significant expenses including: lift tickets\, rental gear\, food\, and gas.Lift tickets: $92 (age 19+) per day $69 (age 13-18) $46 (age 7-12) \nMammoth only sells ½ day tickets starting at 12:30 pm\, i.e.\, no morning ½ day tickets. If you will be skiing two days you can save 10% on a 2 day lift ticket by purchasing on-line or over the phone at least 14 days in advance. (Here is a helpful site: http://www.mammothmountain.com/MountainActivities/Tickets/.) \nEquipment: If you don’t have your own skis / board\, you will need to make arrangements to rent. You can rent locally (i.e.\, Sports Chalet)\, rent from a local store in Mammoth when you arrive on Friday\, or from Mammoth directly. We will not have time on Saturday morning to rent equipment\, so please plan ahead. \nFood: Dinner on your own Friday night. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday – in the condo. Lunch Saturday on the hill. Saturday dinner – either in the condo or at a restaurant. \nWhat to bring:Bring warm waterproof skiwear\, dress in layers\, gloves\, hat or helmet\, goggles or sunglasses. Plan on 20 degrees\, snowy weather and we can adjust from there. Bring a fanny pack or daypack to keep your 10 essentials in when you’re on the slopes. Scouts should also bring a sleeping bag in case you end up sleeping on the floor of the condo with your buddies. \nSupervision & Ability groups:Mammoth has a wide verity of terrain and snow conditions. Just like with the safe swim defense we will need to establish ability groups. Skiers who can manage parallel traverses\, wedge turns and hockey stops (i.e.\, intermediate level or above) will do fine with the group of skiers who will go off to earn the snow sports badge with their merit badge instructor. Skiers hoping to earn the snow sports merit badge will need to demonstrate skiing skill on advanced terrain. Skiers who have not mastered those skills will enjoy some of the less demanding runs toward the bottom of the hill. If your son is not quite ready to earn the merit badge please plan to come on the trip and supervise him on the slopes. \nDirections:Take the I-210 freeway north until you can catch the I-5 freeway north. In 5 miles you will see a sign for Hwy 14 North (Lancaster/Palmdale). You will stay on Hwy 14 for about an hour until you come to Mojave. Drive through Mojave until you come to the end of town and follow the sign that reads Bishop/Reno”. You will follow the curve to the right. Hwy 14 turns into Hwy 395 after about 50 miles on this road. After 2 to 3 hours during which you will pass through a variety of small rural towns\, you will come to Bishop. In about 45 minutes you will see a sign that reads “Mammoth Lakes\, Highway 203\, Devil’s Postpile”\, take this exit. At the bottom stop sign take a left and follow Hwy 203 into Mammoth Lakes. At the first stoplight (Old Mammoth Road) take a left. You are now on Old Mammoth Road\, which you will follow for 1 mile.
