Starting up Two Jambo Troops

It is 2008! In just 29 months we hope to take two troops of 36 scouts and eight adults to the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts of America in Virginia! We are setting up information/promotion material now. This blog, slideshow, info packet and more to entice the scouting spirit in every scout we can. The troops would consist of scouts and scouters from White Buffalo District in Circle Ten Council and our good friends in Troop 175 in Irving Texas (the Scoutmaster Peter McNabb is an old White Buffalo scout and still has many ties to his old stompin' grounds). Aside from 36 scouts per troop there are four adults, Scoutmaster, and three Assistant Scoutmasters one of whom can be 18-21 years of age. While they are seperate troops attending Jamboree, we would camp together at Jamboree sharing duties and one BIG main gate!

The two troops for 2010 are lead by Harry Bubeck and Brian Bennett.

Harry has served as an Assistant Scoutmaster, and Scoutmaster three times. He has also served on National Jamboree Staff with the Order of the Arrow as a Jamboree Chapter Adviser. Harry is a past Lodge Adviser for Circle Ten's OA Lodge and serves as Section 3 OA Adviser. He has also served as an Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster, and Troop Committee Chairman. He is a Vigil Honor Member of the OA and a Silver Beaver receipient. In addition to National Jamboree's he has led the OA lodge contingent to the National OA Conference (NOAC) twice and has staffed on several programs at NOAC. Harry is Wood Badge trained and staffed. He works for the DISD. He is married to Cathy and they have three scouts, Brandon (Eagle), Sam and Nathan.

Brian went to Jamobree as a Scout, on National Jamboree Staff twice, with the Order of the Arrow and a Sub-camp Commissioner. Brian is an Eagle Scout and grew up in Circle Ten Council in North Trail District Troop 78. Brian has served as an Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster, and Troop Committee Member. He is Wood Badge trained and staffed. Brian is a Vigil Honor Member of the OA and a Silver Beaver receipient. In addition to the Jamboree Brian led the largest lodge contingent ever to a NOAC with 98 scouts and 32 adults and served on staff three times, including the National Conference Committee in 1987. Brian works for Xerox. He has a daughter Amy who keeps him busy with Hebron High School Band.

In the past the district has pulled togther to send one troop to the National Jamboree. With the 100th anniversary of Scouting in America, we are pulling all the stops to send two troops!
