Ten young men from
Boy Scout Troop 691
recently attended a week-
long Boy Scout camp at
Camp Meriweather near
Cape Lookout on the
Oregon coast. Collectively
they earned 25 merit badges
and partly com pleted
another 14 merit badges.
Merit badges are a set
of requirements for which
the boys learn about and
demonstrate competency
around specific topics.
Completed merit badges at
the recent camp included
camping, archery, first aid,
canoeing, leatherworking,
sw im m ing, k ay ak in g ,
metal work, Indian lore,
archeology, wood working,
w ild e r n e s s s u rv iv a l
and citizenship in the
community.
In order to progress
to the coveted rank of
Eagle Scout, a boy must
demonstrate that he lives
by the principles of the
Scout Oath and Scout
Law. co m p le te basic
requirements of scouting
such as knot tying, first aid
and other camping skills,
earn 21 merit badges,
log the required hours of
service, and demonstrate
leadership by completing a
major project and serving in
leadership capacities.
James A. Lovell Jr.,
astronaut on Apollo 13, had
the following to say about
the Boy Scout program: “1
think the character that you
learn in Scouting—working
together, being honest with
each other, being close knit
... and depending on one
another, on our camping
trips and doing things—all
these things build character
in a young man that he takes
with him into adulthood and
makes him a much better
citizen. And that’s why
Scouting to me has always
been an organization I’ve
always wanted to help. 1
think it’s one of the best
youth organizations that
we.. .have in this country.”
Participants in Boy
Scout Troop 691 say their
ex p erien ces w o u ld n ’t
be possible without all
those who have donated
time, resources and funds
to support the troop in
attending Scout Camp and
other related activities,
especially Bruce Young
Logging, who made a
donation of firewood used
for their fundraising efforts.
Anyone who would
like more inform ation
about participating in Boy
Scout Troop 691 or who
is interested in making a
donation, contact Dieter
Waite at 541-676-8055
or Dan Grigg at 541-299-
