"A once in a life time opportunity" is how
the Jamboree Troop Scoutmaster, Kevin Kelly described the 100th Anniversary
National Jamboree. The RMC Troop is going to be a part of history and you
can be there. This is the 100th anniversary of Scouting in the United States
and the last time a National Jamboree will be at Ft. A.P. Hill. The Troop
will be on tour in our Nation's capital and many of the other historic
sites. If you want to see the Lincoln statue up close, touch "The Wall",
stand next to the refection pool of the Washington monument, or see what the
"eternal flame" is, then do not waste another second. Click the image below
to find out how to be a part of the excitement and make history with over
15,000 other scouts.

Coffee on Sale
Scoutmaster's Blend Coffee is now available in the Scout
Shop. "Scoutmaster's Blend" Coffee is our Private Label Coffee that we are
selling solely to raise money for the National Jamboree Troop. All of the
proceeds go to the Jamboree Troop and the Scouts going to the Jamboree. It
is roasted (with solar mirrors) here in Pueblo by Solar Roast Coffee. We
have ground and whole bean USDA Certified Organic coffee. I would invite
everyone to pick up a bag and support the Jamboree Scouts. The Price is $10
per bag.

The Vision of the
Rocky Mountain Council
The Boy Scouts of America is the nation's foremost
youth program of character development and values-based leadership training.
In the future Scouting will continue to
- Offer young people responsible fun and adventure;
- Instill in young people lifetime values and
develop in them ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law;
- Train young people in citizenship, service, and
leadership;
- Serve America's communities and families with its
quality, values-based program
The council maintains the Estes Scout Service Center at 411 S. Pueblo Boulevard,
Pueblo, CO 81005, which is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and may be reached by calling (719) 561-1220.
In addition to
the Service Center, the council maintains and operates two camps;
San Isabel Scout Ranch located in Rye, CO., and
Rocky Mountain High Adventure Base near Salida, CO. The
camps offer seasonal programs to youth from throughout Colorado and surrounding
states, and are an important part of our Cub Camping
program.
Rocky Mountain Council - The
Future
The Significance and use of the 2009 - 2013 Strategic Plan
This Strategic Plan will guide the Council Executive Board, all volunteer
Scouters with the Council and all active supporters of the Scouting movement in
the Council for the next five years. The plan provides the monthly reporting
base for the Executive Board Vice-Presidents and should serve to measure our
success in achieving these goals.
Strategic Plan Acknowledgements
This plan was developed by the Rocky Mountain Council Board
Vice-Presidents and many District and Council volunteers. We wish to acknowledge
their efforts for which the Council owes a debt of gratitude. Thanks to you all!
