The purpose of this webpage is not to compete with the www.stlbsa.org page! This is intended to merely be a 'supplement' that is more accessible for our volunteers to post information. Our web page and the STLBSA web page are maintained by different groups with different levels of response time; so, we encourage you to check BOTH web pages!

2008 Outstanding Arrowmen

At the 2008 OA banquet, we had Five brothers receive The Outstanding Arrowmen Award. The Brothers are Larry Kremer, Chris Webb, Tyler Robinson, Steve Mohan and Kyle Crutcher (from left to Right)

1 vs 100 was a success!

Values Project Name

Although our chapter did not meet its ambitious goal of 100 OA members at the values project, we did fairly well with about 67 members in attendance. The Daughters of the Revolution were very happy with our contribution to cleaning up the very reverent area. We had a great lunch, and then we had an intense game. Because it was so cold, we unaminously decided not to play football. Instead, we had a hot dog eating contest in which Mr. Yarbrough ate down the competition!

North Star 2008 May Lock-in

The best time of the calendar year is coming up on May 9-10! North Star's May Lock-in this year will feature many fun events. We will have a free business meeting from 7-8. Afterwards, if you choose to stay for $3, North Star will be playing dodgeball tournaments, videogames, watching movies, and optional regalia workshops. In the morning from 9-12, we will be performing a service project for the church to show our appreciation for the use of the building. The $3 dollars will cover many snacks and breakfast.
Grace Lutheran Chapel North from May 9 (7:00) to May 10 (12:00).

North Star 2008 Fall Encampment

This fall we will be having a great encampment. Instead of having a staff guess and try to make stations that everyone will enjoy, we are asking that every troop, cub pack, and venture crew come up with an idea and put together a station. We ask that you let us know your idea, if troops and cub packs would like to work alongside a troop that is fine, just let us know just send us an e-mail at fallencampment08@northstardistrict.org and let us know your ideas, we hope that every PLC and all the boys will get involved to give ideas so that we know that everyone will enjoy themselves.

Forum

Yes, we have finally gotten a discussion forum online! This forum can be used to discuss topics like:

Cub Scouts
Boy Scouts
Venture Scouts
Order of the Arrow
Hiking and Camping locations
Uniform and gear swap
Are Troop Meetings Boring?

and almost any Scouting related topic you wish!
