McCall Scouts attend ,jamboree
Six Boy Scouts from the McCall
area flew to the East Coast and at-
tended the National Jamboree of the
Boy Scouts of America during July.
The event included two weeks of
extensive tours and one wee of the
Jamboree in Fort A. P. Hill, Va. The
McCall boys were among 37,000
people who attended the once-every-
four-years.gathering.
Each boy attending the Jamboree
came home with lasting impressions.
"I experienced New York City and
Washington D.C. and saw the historic
parts of the East," Eagle Scout Jon
Gunther of Troop 246 said. "I was
able to visit the sites of the figures I
had learned about in my junior En-
glish class. It really brought the les-
sons to life."
Eagle Scout Josh Gunther, Troop
246, was most attracted by the scuba
diving available at the Jamboree site.
"I went through the activity five times
and really liked it," Gunther said. "I
met a lot of nice people and enjoyed
being one of the 37,000. The last night
we had all of the Scouts holding
candles in the final ceremony. It was
an awesome display."
Life Scout Jeremy Trammell,
Troop 246, among many other events,
remembers the fireworks at the Order
of the Arrow and the closing cer-
emony shows. "They were longer than
I had ever seen and beautiful,"
Trammell said. "The finales were in-
credible."
Life Scout Jason Wiking, Troop
246, was impressed by the size of the
cities he visited after living in Idaho.
"Busch Gardens Amusement Park in
Williamsburg, Va. was enormous,"
Wiking said. "We spent three nights
in New York City and the buildings
are huge. When we finished the tours
and arrived at the Jamboree, we had
plenty of time to participate in shot-
gun trap shooting, air rifle shooting,
muzzle loading with black powder
rifles, tomahawk throwing, and BMX
racing."
"I made a lot of friends and did a lot
of activities that I could never do
here," said 1st Class Scout Keith Leasy
of Troop 246. "This trip made a big
impression on my life. I won't for-

get it."
Troop 245 was represented by
Eagle Scout Nick Holland who was
surprised by the size of the Statue of
Liberty.
"I thought it would be larger,"
Holland said. "We took a boat out to
it and went to the top. The windows
up there are very small. At Jamboree,
my favorite activities were rappelling
and archery."
The McCall area has two active
troops, and interested boys grades 6
through age 17 are encouraged to
become involved.
Troop 246 meets every Tuesday
nights at 7 p.m. at the Masonic Lodge
across from the McCall Memorial
Hospital, and Troop 245 meets
Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. at the
LDS Church on Elo Road.

children were treated to a day of sailing, canoeing,
swimming, rifle and shotgun shooting, as well as to an
evening meal, all free of charge.
Butcher Blocks placed in the Lake
Fork Wildlife Management Area
Andy Deines and other members of Troop 132, of Boise, pre-
pare "Butcher Blocks" for installation.
There are five new butcher blocks in the Lake Fork Wildlife
Management Area. What may you ask is a "A Butcher Block?" A
butcher block is a 2' - 3' diameter log set on end so it stands approx-
imately 4' tall.
These logs are used by Bald eagles and Osprey to "butcher" their
catch of the day. This gives them a large area on which to dine on the
fish they catch. It also allows them to eat their prey out of the reach
of other predators such as foxes.
These butcher blocks were installed courtesy of Andy Deines and
other members of Troop #132 of Boise. This project was completed
on August 10, 1996 but started ovzr two months prior. Andy decided
for his Eagle Scout Project that he wanted to improve raptor habitat
on Cascade Reservoir.
Prior to deciding which project to select Andy reviewed the Cascade
Reservoir Management Plan. From this plan, Andy decided to install
these butcher blocks in the Lake Fork Wildlife Management Area.
The logs for this project were donated by the Boise -Cascade com-
pany. Andy would like to extend his appreciation to the Cascade staff
for all of their assistance in making this project a success.
The Bureau of Reclamation continues to have a number of projects
available to any individual or group interested in volunteering their
time and efforts. If anyone is interested in volunteering for a project
please contact Warren Sedlacek, Natural Resource Specialist, at 382-
4258.
McCall Scouts fly high
at local S ace Derby
Jessie Warwick, Steve Kutzner, Justin Congleton show awards.
McCall area Cub Scouts took
part in a Space Derby race for
models held on Saturday in the
McCall -Donnelly Elementary
School multipurpose room.
The boys made their spaceships
at their den meetings and at home
from kits containing balsa wood
and rubber band motors con-
nected to propellers.
Larry and Christine Lovitt
built a wooden stand with lines
attached, after which the
spaceships were wound up, plac-
ed on the lines and sent off under
their own power.
The scouts came up with
several designs, including several
based on the space shuttle. Prizes
were awarded for most original
and best appearance.
Among the Wolfs, Shawn
Duman won most original and
Travis Collson's ship was judged
best in appearance.
Justin Congleton and Kenny
Mairs won in the Bear group,
with Stryder Scalf and Josh
Berkey winning among the
Webelos.
Race action was exciting, even
more so when the power went off
for about 30 minutes and the
crafts flew in the dark.

Scouts help Head Start
Members of Boy Scout Troop 246
recently donated 24-1/2 man-hours
of labor to the WICAP Valley
County Head Start Program in
Donnelly. The youths did such
chores as ditch -digging (pictured
above), landscaping, yard cleanup,
window washing and storage orga-
nization. Participating in the
cleanup were R.D. Van Noy, Keith
Leasy, Jon Grems, Tyler Bryant,
Michael Young, Lane McFadden,
Jesse Kangas-Hanes, Brent Waller
and Jon Gunther. Leaders Les
Grems and K.C. Hanes assisted as
well. The troop is seeking other ser-
vice projects, which must benefit a
non-profit organization or a com-
munity member in need, such as a
yard cleanup for a senior citizen.
For information, call Hanes at 325-
8136 or Grems at 634-4290.

Dear Stan:
Sure enjoyed reading your swell letter
and looking at the splendid pictures of the Jam-
boree, which you so kindly sent.
I thought your pictures were excellent,
and they were mounted so attractively. It sure
took me back to those interesting places that we
visited last summer.
I have had other letters from Spike,
Gifford Evans, and Bobby Monsen. Rudy Juu1 was
in for a visit a few weeks ago, and Harvey Rose
was in the other day. He brought 150 pictures,
so he and I had a private picture show here with
his Kodachromes and my colored movies. It was a
lot of fun.

Hi, Young Nor'westers!
January 24, 1952
COUNCIL NO. 492-11
How would you like to have a dollar for every time
each one of us has thought about all the rest of the guys in
Troop 3 since we got back? That would make quite a lot of
spending money, wouldn't it?
For my part, I have thought of every one of you at
least every time I have made a talk on the Jamboree, and that
has been often.
My motion pictures turned out O.K. Wonder how your
pictures turned out? The Regional Office would like to have
a set of Kodachrome pictures of the Jamboree. If you took
Kodachrome stills, how would you like to have copies of two
of your best ones made and send them to me? Just for fun,
we will offer a prize for the fellow who sends in what the
Regional Office considers to be the two best pictures.
Last Sunday morning, on the editorial page of the
OREGONIAN, I read the Henry McLemore column and got a big
charge out of it - in fact, so big that Monday I went to the
Oregonian office and got 28 copies of the paper, so I could
send you each the clipping. Here it is. Remember those Con-
tinental breakfasts? I guess Henry McLemore, who is traveling
Europe first class instead of second class, is getting the
same kind of a breakfast!
Royal Stone and I have talked several times about
the possibility of having a reunion, but it is pretty hard to
figure out when. Portland, or some spot near Portland, like
Mt. Hood, seems to be a logical place for the "where." Will
you please answer this letter and tell me when your school
will be out next spring? Perhaps we can fit in a date be-
tween the time school is out and the time summer camps open
that will be agreeable to most of use
Don't confine your letter just to giving me the
date when school is out. Let me know all about yourself,
and what you are doing.
Jamboree Scouts -2- 1/24/52
Now that we are five months away from the Jamboree,
and have had time to look at it in retrospect, I am sure you
feel as I do that it was a "once -in -a- lifetime" experience.
While we were there, we could not fully appreciate its signi-
ficance. However, now that we have had time to think about
it for weeks and months, we realize how fortunate we were to
have been able to make the trip - not only the Jamboree, but
the Amalfi Drive, the trip to the top of Schafberg, the Vati-
can Museum, Zurich and Paris. To be able to bring back all
those memories is a rare privilege. To have been so inti-
mately associated with a Troop of such fine Scouts for all
summer long was another rare privilege.
Let's keep the memory of it, and the lessons in
friendships, national and international, forever in our mind.
Best personal regards,

Scout report:
Keep part
By BRUCE SMITH
The Idaho Statesman
The Ore -Ida Council of the
Boy Scouts is considering keep-
ing about five acres of Camp
Tapawingo, including 100 feet of
shoreline along Payette Lake,
instead of selling the entire
camp.
A report to the council's exec-
utive board by Larry Maurer,
Property Committee chairman,
said a portion of the 45-acre
Tapawingo site should be sold to
purchase and improve other
Scouting facilities in southwest-
ern Idaho and to improve the
council's finances.
The 64- member executive
board is scheduled to vote on the
issue at 8 p.m. Jan. 23 in the
Lookout Room at the Boise
State University Student Union
Building. The property value of

uy r o y .
the Council. We're waiting until the
Committee (Board) decides."
— Marty Latimer, executive director of the Ore-Ida
Council
have used since 1935, has been
estimated at $2.1 million.
The report also proposed that
the council retain all of adjacent
155 -acre Camp Morrison.
Proceeds from Tapawingo's
sale then would be placed in a
trust, and only the interest
earned from the trust would be
used for acquisition, develop-
ment and maintainance of coun-
cil property, under the proposal.
No money would be used for op-
erating expense's.
Maurer said the subcommit-
tee favored retaining some ac-
cess to Payette Lake so that
Scouts could earn their aquatic
merit badges. Camp Morrison
lacks suitable bodies of water. A
long -range plan calls for two
ponds to be built at Camp Mom -
son.
Engineers hired by the Coun-
cil said the two ponds would cost
$100,000 to $150,000.

Several board members inter-
viewed acknowledged that the
proposed sale, made public in
December, has generated a
large amount of hostility,
mostly among former Scouts.
Sale opponents began a petition
drive to pursuade board mem-
bers to vote against the sale.
"I don't think all of the oppo-
nents are against selling Tapa-
wingo," board member Owen
Pipal said. "The whole thrust is
that we need more time to study
this thing. They're just asking to
delay this thing."
Marty Latimer, executive di-
rector of the Ore -Ida Council,
said a buyer for Tapawingo has
not been sought yet.
Opponents, however, charge
that the board, dominated by
members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter -day Saints, has
already committed itself to sell
the camp.
"There is no potential buyer,
committed buyer or secret
buyer," said Latimer. "No one
has contacted the Council.
We're waiting until the Commit-
tee (Board) decides."
Maurer, who is, coinci-
dentally, a real - estate repre-
sentative for the LDS Church,
said the church is not interested
in buying the land.
Maurer said church stakes no
longer are allowed to buy land
for their use.
"It's a bit touchy because we
used to buy lands," Maurer said.
"Now, though, it is not church
policy."
McCALL BOY SCOUTS
Boy Scout Troop 246, sponsored
by the McCall Lions Club and the
U.S. Forest Service, resumed its
regular school year meeting schedule
on Sept. 13 with a Court of Honor
recognizing youths who have earned
merit badges or advanced in rank
during the last several months.
The troop will continue to meet
on Thursday evenings at the old
smokejumpers base, courtesy of the
forest service. Further information
can be obtained from Scoutmaster
Ted Burton at 634 -7464, most
evenings. The troop now has 21
registered Scouts.
The Troop attended the 1990 Boy
Scout Centennial Jubilee at Elk
Meadows near Stanley in June.
They joined over 7,000 other Scouts
and Scouters in this recognition of
Idaho's first 100 years.
The boys also ran into former
McCall scouts Dusty and Rusty
Clark and numerous old and new
friends from all over Idaho. While
there, they had the opportunity to
observe and learn many aspects of
scouting, and enjoyed popular
evening professional entertainment.
In early July, Troop 246 com-
pleted a service project for the Mc-
Call Ranger District of Payette Na-
tional Forest by removing and re-
placing a bridge across a tributary
stream to Loon Cretk about one -
quarter mile north 6f Loon Lake in
f M JpR, Ao, / 7 fD
the mountains east of McCall.
Scoutmaster Ted Burton and
Troop Committee Members Tom
and Kathy Ellison drove to Chi-
nook Campground on the Secesh
River on Friday evening with the
boys, and rendezvoused with forest
service packer Roger Lake.
Troop Committee Chair Mary
Fairman came out on Saturday
morning to join the hike and
overnight.
The troop hiked down the east
side of the Secesh River to the
Packers Bridge, and crossed the river
to the mouth of Loon Creek, a most
pleasant break site. Next they
climbed up into Loon Creek valley
and pressed on to the meadow below
the lake. On Saturday afternoon,
ithe Troop removed the badly rotted
old bridge, and built the new one.
On Sunday, most hiked the next
one - quarter mile to the Lake and on
around the lake to the site of a
bomber crash that occurred during
World War II. Sunday afternoon,
the troop hiked out by way of the
west side trail to Victor Creek, an-
other superior rest site, and on up
the Secesh to a point across from
the campground.
In addition to the adult leaders,
those attending were Travis
Cullison, senior patrol leader;
Peter Pearson, Toby King,
Aaron Bollar, Toby
McReynolds, Mark Ellison,
and Tim McCoy.
Next, the troop attended a week-
long summer camp experience at
Camp Morrison during the last
week of July.
One boy advanced in rank, 10 of
the boys made substantial progress
in that direction, and nine earned at
least one merit badge. Larry
Stewart earned his lifeguard rating,
and Toby King has nearly com-
pleted those requirements, which
means that the troop can add water
activities to its school year pro-
gram.
Scoutmasters disqualify j udg
BY JAMES L. KINCAID
The Star -News
A scheduled court appearance on
Monday for two Scoutmasters
charged with abusing a Boy Scout at
Camp Morrison in McCall last
summer was delayed after the two
asked for a new judge.
Timothy D. Williams and
Richard D. Hammond asked to dis-
qualify Fourth District Magistrate
Darla Williamson from their cases.
Williamson granted their request.
Boise attorney Michael Sasser,
representing Williams and Ham-
mond, filed the motion to disqualify
Williamson. Sasser had no com-
ment on Friday on why Williamson
should be disqualified.
Sasser filed a motion under a
court rule that allows those facing
criminal charges to disqualify one
judge or magistrate without having
to state a reason.
It was not known Tuesday which
magistrate would replace
Williamson and when the two
would be required to appear again in
court.
Williams, Hammond and four
other people were charged with mis-
demeanors after a 13 -year -old Mid-
dleton boy was twice tied to a tree
as disciplinary action while attend-
ing the camp.
The boy was a member of the
Middleton Third Ward Scout Troop
sponsored by the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter -day Saints. A Val-
ley County Sheriffs Department in-
vestigator said a church official tried
to persuade him not to press
charges. The official has denied that
he made such a request.
The incident occurred on July 23,
when Williams, 43, of Middleton
tied the boy to a tree and Hammond,
41, of Caldwell agreed to the pun-
ishment, according to a sheriffs in-
vestigator. Hammond is a state dis-
trict manager of probation and pa-
role in the. Idaho Department of Cor-
rection's Caldwell office.
Others charged include Kim A.
Hansen, 41, of Boise, and David
Cleon Pack, 34, of Nampa, both
with the Ore -Ida Council office in
Boise. Hansen is council executive
director with the Ore -Ida Council of
the Boy Scouts of America.
Lonnie R. King, 40, of McCall,
a ranger at Camp Morrison, and
Michael C. Cragun, 33, of Red-
mond, Wash., who is summer pro-
gram director at Camp Morrison,
have also been charged in the inci-
dent.
According to the boy's statement,
he was tied to a tree on July 22 for a
short time and again on July 23
from about 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the
investigator said.
The temperature was about 50
degrees and the boy was improperly
clothed. The boy was being pun-
ished for going in the wrong door of
the camp's dining hall, the sheriffs
investigator said.
Investigation of the incident be-
gan after the investigator received a
telephone call from the boy's
mother on Aug. 4. He received
written statements from the boy and
his mother on Aug. 25.
In an Aug. 26 interview, King
said that he and Cragun found the
boy tied to the tree at about 9:47
p.m. on July 23.
King said the boy was tied to the
tree in an upright position by three
strands of 3/8 -inch rope. The boy
was released and taken to the camp
office, where he was questioned and
examined by King and Cragun.
According to King's statement,
the boy had three rope marks about
three fingers wide across his chest
and arms. The boy's parents were
not immediately notified of the inci-
dent because Cragun said Scout ex-
ecutives must first be notified. The
boy was later allowed to call his
parents.
On July 24, Pack told King that
if King had talked to anyone besides
Pack and Cragun about the incident,
King would have been in serious
trouble, the investigator said.
On Sept. 2, in a letter from Cra-
gun to Hansen, Cragun claimed he
had investigated the incident, ordered
the Scout released from the tree and
warned one of the leaders that their
actions amounted to child abuse.
Williams and Hammond have
both been suspended from the
Scouting program, based on the al-
legations of child abuse by a Scout
leader. Hansen has remained at his
job even though he is also facing
charges in the incident.
