Boy Scouts and Scout Camp

I am the Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 95, and this year we will be attending a special Scout Camp at the Grand Canyon - we are really excited about it! The Scouts are doing a fundraiser for this weeklong event by selling shirts. These shirts are really awesome! Please check them out at our Online Ordering Site. When you order your shirts please put "Rizzo" in the "Special Instructions to Merchant" field when you are about to checkout. And please visit our Troop Blog to see what we're all about and what we've been up to.

We are a very active Troop with a huge focus on the outdoors, so please help us get to Scout Camp! Here are some of the cool things we've been up to lately:

Great Outdoors Quotes

In our emasculate age, it is considered uncouth to confess to anything resembling a killer instinct. Yet such a thing does exist, and it is worth study. It is fashionable to protest that one does not hunt in order to kill, as with Ortega y Gasset, yet if one does not kill, hunting is emotionally unsatisfying. This is why some people hunt and others do not. I think it is ingenuous to protest that the killer instinct is evil. Man is a carnivorous predator - you have but to look to his teeth - and though very few men now need to hunt for their food, a good many men do need to hunt for emotional fulfillment. This is not evil. It is as natural as the enjoyment of good food, great art, and fine music. To deny this is simply to look foolish. I know many shooters who are not hunters, and I do not think less of them for this. I know a surprising number of hunters who are not shooters, and while I think this is peculiar, I do not think it is wicked. I must admit that today in my declining years my bloodlust has slackened, but this has no moral significance for me. Even today I hunt whenever I can, and I often play catch-and-release by snapping in on an empty chamber. The fact remains, however, that there is such a thing as a killer instinct, and it is neither to be extolled nor condemned. In my own family there are those who are true killers and those who are not, and I love them equally. Judging from my own experience (which is a thing one never ought to do) I feel that those without the killer instinct lead somewhat diminished lives, as do people who are tone deaf or color blind, but I think we should drop psychological pretense in this matter, and face facts as they are. I happen to relish chili very much, but I do not demand that you do. It is not a moral issue. - Col. Jeff Cooper
We do not 'harvest' or 'take' or 'reduce to possession' in our sport. We kill. Dress it up anyway you want, but we pursue white-tailed deer with the intent of ending their lives. - Walt Hampton
Personal field testing trumps everything despite what Field and Stream says, your degree of perceived manhood, and what your buddies think. - Greg Williams
The Woods were my Ritalin. – Richard Louv
