Comments From Unit Leaders
Booshway, I wanted to thank you for coming to our meeting last night. That was one of the highest turnouts we have had in years. Everyone got a lot out of the presentation and the boys are motivated to go to the rendezvous. I took a couple of the boys home and we talked about the rendezvous. They are looking forward to attending in September.
thanks again for another outstanding rendezvous!! In spite of your being shorthanded from the re-schedule, your staff did an amazing job putting on the event. The Scouts had a great time like always, and the ones that aren't aging out are already planning for next year.
We sure had a great time and look forward to doing it again next year. Taking input from the boys and my other leader, I don't have any criticisms. There were a number of things I really liked at this year's rendezvous. Having the blacksmith in the fort making horseshoes was definitely a hit. It turned some down time into useful information, entertainment and learning. The food was fantastic as always. I am certain we can prevail upon the boys to dress up and camp like mtn men next year. Thanks for all of your work. It continues to be the best scout activity around.
Congratulations on another successful rendezvous! Nice job. Our boys had a great time and we'll be back next year provided we survive the winter. I can't think of anything I would suggest to improve the event. I does seem like you're at or close to the maximum number... you hate to limit this great opportunity for the boys.
Please accept our appreciation for an excellent event. The young men enjoyed it immensely and swaggered back into town :)! Of course, the leaders enjoyed it...the evenings in my backyard with the tomahawk and knives and dutch oven apple crisp were great events. I'm completely hooked.
Thanks for putting together such a great weekend. Our boys had a great time and learned a lot. For example, they won't let their inability to set a bear trap break them down in next year's Colter Run. Me, I'm still trying to figure out how to start the fire with flint and steel -- and don't my knuckles know it.
GRRRREAT job on the Rendezvous, again. Our guys had a great time. They were honored to help out with the John Colter skit. Hope the Indian costumes weren't too "authentic". Did you get any complaints about our nearly naked braves?
We all had a great time! (the boys who were there are from two patrols that are about to be merged, and they want to name the new patrol the trappers!) The boys especially liked the "keep your powder dry" event, and would like to see it continued. Putting water at the activity areas was a great addition. I felt you and your staff did an incredible job putting on a fantastic event!!
Just wanted to thank you and your group for the great weekend. My son, and the rest of the Troop had a great time and really enjoyed all the activities. It was a pleasure to help out "Cross Fox" with the adult Black Powder.
On behalf of Troop 651 in San Marcos I want to congratulate you on a outstanding Rendezvous. Our Scouts really liked the food, the change in activities, (they enjoyed the canoes) and the ceremonies. Our adult leaders helped your breakfast staff and had a chance to see things from the other side of the counter. We dressed as a unit thinking we could compete, but really liked the idea of giving best dressed individual Scouts the awards. Our unit became stronger by stressing creative Mountain Man outfits. The Mountain Man Raffle idea was another home run. We are looking forward to next year, thank you again for all your time and effort.
