At this time I can tell you with 99.9% confidence that the Highland Ball will be held at Camp Wisdom on March the 20th. We are awaiting the outcome of one more meeting before sending it to the masses, however we are pretty well set at this time.
I would like to take the time to thank everyone for their work and support this past year youth and adult.
We look towards the new year as a year of growing for crew 1298 and a new chapter in our book.
February 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of Venturing Crew 1298 (if my math is correct), 2010 also marks 100 years of BSA. We have the Fort Worth Western Heritage Celebration set for January 16th, Highland Ball has been set for March 20th, please see the linked pages for more details on these events.. We also have the Feed the Troops comming soon in San Antonio, I do not have a date, but once I do will let everyone know. I am sure we will have more on the calendar but those are the ones that I know of at this time.
This coming year I would challenge every youth and adult to recruit 1 active youth member we need to grow our youth membership.
Please remember we meet on the 2nd Saturday of the month at Camp Wisdom, the meeting will happen at 1:00pm, however most times people will arrive early to blacksmith talk and just have a good time.
The next meeting will be January the 9th.
Location: Tandy Center Parking Garage, Fort Worth, Texas (off Sundance Square)
Date: January 16th, 2010
Time: 8:00 AM Sharp
We will meet at Camp Widsom at 7:00 AM and caravan over to Two City Place in Fort Worth, Texas. We will have blacksmithing and the chuckwagon setup.
More Details to come. Please leave a comment, and/or a message on the yahoo group list.
It’s that time of the year again. Planning has already been underway for our 2010 Highland Night Out/Highland Ball, more details will start flowing soon.
We are still looking for someone(youth) to be in charge all the decorations and such.
The date has been decided upon, and is set for March 20th at this time.
We cannot confirm the location until after January 1st, 2010, so sorry I cannot tell you until it comes out officially, but for those who have attended in the past we are hoping to hold it in the same location.
At this time the ticket prices are 20.00 in advance and 25.00 at the door.
Early registration will cut off on March 1st 2010, all payment must be post marked by this date.
We will have a reservation form on the website soon for you to start putting in reservations so that we can get the head count for our caterer.
Dinner this year will be roast beef and the them will be Scottish New Year.
The flier will be released soon also.
The page for the Highland Night Out will be updated with any new information as it becomes available.
Well I know it’s been a while since this cook-off, but I’ve been busy.
We had a great weekend even though it rained almost all day Friday and Saturday. We had a great time cooking and learning from the other wagons there. We didn’t place in the divisions however we learned lots of valuable things on how everything works with our wagon and what to do for the next cook-off, and took that information with us. I encourage everyone to go come out to a cook-off if they are able.
We will be doing a blacksmithing and foundry at Camp Wisdom on Saturday Oct 24th. We need to be there by 8:00 AM to get everything setup and ready to go for the day. We will also be setting up a demo chuck wagon also for the cub scouts. The event will last till around 5:00 PM. We need everyone possible to help out with this event as we have committed to council to help out. Please let us know if you will be able to attend or not, on the yahoo group e-mail list.
The wagon will be judged on Friday at 4pm so we have to leave early Friday morning so we can get everything set up before the judging.
There will be a group coming down late Friday evening for those who can not come earlier.
The cooking competition will be on Saturday with cooking starting at daylight and serving at noon.
We usually get out of there and back home around 11 pm Sat night.
