YES, WE HAD SOME FLU CASES - AND YES, WE ARE
STILL OPEN!
Fourteen Boy Scouts and an adult medic
have been put in quarantine at the San Isabel Boy Scout Camp after showing
flu-like symptoms earlier this week. The 14 boys were taken to a Pueblo hospital
where one tested positive for Type A influenza. Health officials expect to know
sometime today if he has the H1N1 swine flu variety. The boys went back to camp
where an adult staff member also has begun showing flu symptoms and all 15 are
in a separate area resting on cots and being cared for by more medics from
Custer County who have come to the camp.
None of the cases are serious, according to Jennifer Ludwig, associate director
of disease prevention and emergency preparedness at the Pueblo City-County
Health Department, and the efforts by
staff members to quarantine the sick individuals and disinfect the camp mean it
will stay open. The 410-acre camp straddles Custer and Pueblo counties
and both health departments have been working on the case, along with state
health department officers who came to the camp to supervise efforts to
disinfect areas.
Rene Monarez, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Council of the Boy Scouts
of America, said that the parents of the 14 Texas youngsters, who came from
troops in Plano and Houston, had been notified but that the boys would remain at
the camp until the session ends Saturday and then head home. The camp will
continue its regular operation for the remainder of the camp season.

The 2009 Outpost Program at San
Isabel Scout Ranch
The SISR Outpost program is an extension of our resident program. SISR
and the Rocky Mountain Range possess
resources especially suited for this program. The beauty of the mountains,
rivers and forests inspire Scouts and
complement the Outpost adventure. The Outdoor Code is essential here in
Colorado. Our staff is trained and
ready to teach outdoor skills, offer ideas, and model the Scout spirit you
want your boys to value. The Outpost
camp runs Monday through Friday during the SISR camp week. All meals will be
provided for Outpost Scouts.
Scouts will join the rest of the camp to participate in the weeks closing
activities. The cost for Outpost camp is
an additional $50 per scout. Enjoy your Troops Outpost adventure with one or
all of the following activities:
Mountain Biking: Leave the bustle of camp on a single track trail through
the 450 acres in the
Colorado wilderness. This thrilling encounter will stretch physical
abilities and enhance self-esteem as
it pushes the Scout to accomplish more than he believes he can. No need to
pack your bike, we have
them ready and waiting for you.
Hiking: Altitude and
awe‐inspiring views are free with this adventure. Scouts will learn what it
means to
“be prepared” in the Rockies. A daypack with the essentials is required.
Don’t forget your water bottle,
snack, raingear and good walking shoes.
Orienteering/GPS: Let the
races begin! Join us for a day of orienteering. Orienteering is the
sport of navigation with GPS, map and compass. Have fun while learning how
to use a GPS unit, as
well as, the old reliable compass. The object of the SISR orienteering
course is to locate a number of
different locations throughout the day. The hard work will pay off with a
reward at the end of the day.
Join us for the challenge!
Climbing: Scouts have the
opportunity to climb on the great Rockies and learn the basics of rock
climbing. Then put the test what they know on the “rock”. Partial Climbing
Merit Badge credit may be
earned for requirements accomplished. This activity takes place onsite.
Rafting: Launch into
Wednesday morning and discover the connection between you and the river.
The Arkansas River awaits you with crisp waters and a sense of adventure.
Scouts leave SISR every
Wednesday morning to raft the Arkansas with trained rafting guides. Return
to SISR in time for dinner.
This activity is and additional fee of $50.00, not included in the Outpost
fee. Rafting takes place at
Rocky Mountain High Adventure Base.
Shooting: Outpost membership
has its privileges. Join us for an evening of shooting. Outpost
participants will enjoy an evening at the shooting range all by themselves.
Practice what you’ve already
learned in camp. Challenge each other in a friendly shoot off. This activity
requires a fee for
ammunition.

Good People Needed
...
Join our Staff!

San Isabel Scout Ranch is
seeking Scouts, Explorers, and Leaders of all types to serve in full-time and
part-time positions during this summer. SISR is a great place to work, especially
for mature Scouts and Venturers who want something more Out of a "summer
job" than a paycheck.
Service on the staff of SISR is challenging
and rewarding. If you have an outstanding Scout or Explorer who wants to
contribute to the growth of Scouts and Leaders from all parts of the country,
then see contact information below.
Adults
are also needed and welcome on the SISR Staff. Full time and part time positions
need to be filled by quality Scouters. If you are one of these people, feel free
to contact us.
The goal is to improve the camp program,
service, and operation with each
passing year. The only way this can be accomplished is with the active support
and participation of council youth and adults. SISR staffs have been made up of
excellent people from all parts of the country, and their efforts to bring a
quality program to Scouts and Scouters is certainly appreciated.
However, the Council Outdoor Program is the
responsibility of the local council and the people in the local council.
Encourage your Scouts and Adults to consider service at SISR this coming summer! |
