       "The Flight" -Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
We are two eagles
Flying together
Under the heavens,
Over the mountains,
Streatched on the wind.
Sunlight heartens us,
Blind snow baffles us,
Clouds wheel after us,
Knarled and thinned.

We are like eagles;
But when Deth harries us,
Human and humbled
When one of us goes,
Let the other follow-
Let the flight be ended,
Let the fire blacken,
Let the book close.

Jokes of the Week:
       There is something I don't understand; half of the troop has
funny things to send me.  The other half does not.  Now, I am left to
believe that only half of the troop is funny.  Is that true? 

Q: What did the policeman say to his belly?
A: You're under-a-vest!

Q: What kind of license does a pharmacy have?
A: A license to pill

Q: What do you call an animal with two wives?
A: A cheetah

Camp Counselor: How did you get that horrible swelling on your nose?
Jimmy: I bent over to small a brose
Camp Counselor: There is no b in rose
Jimmy: There was in this one

Q: What do you call and gingerbread man with only one leg?
A: A limp biscuit

Early one Sunday morning, the priest saw little Davey staring 
up at the large plaque that hung in the church's foyer. The
plaque was covered with names and small American flags were
mounted on either side of it.
"Father Donovan," the boy asked, "what is this?
"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women
who died in the service," the priest explained. They stood
together quietly, staring at the memorial plaque.
Then little Davey softly asked, "Which service? The 9:00 or the 10:30?"

Scout Trivia Question:
       Ok guys, last week this didn't work with all the things we've
been doing.  So, Let's make this one simple:

       Who is the founder of Boy Scouting? (First and last name)
      
       The patrol with the most correct responses (in proportion to that patrol's size) before the meeting next week wins!
