I am writing to let you know about a documentary film about Boy Scout Troop 759 from Harlem--it is a micro-budget, grassroots effort that I have been working on for the last two years. You can see the trailer and learn more about me (I am an Eagle from a family of Eagles) and the film at www.harlemscouts.com We are hoping to premiere the film this spring in Harlem--within walking distance of where the troop meets. Thanks for the work you do on your blog, yours in Scouting, Justin Justin Szlasa director/producer 759: Boy Scouts of Harlem justin@harlemscouts.com watch the trailer and join the emailing list at www.harlemscouts.com Hey Joshua–

I miss my days of teaching rifle merit badge and running open shoot at the Boy Scout Camp. It was great seeing the Scouts accomplish the requirements and get so excited over a high scoring target. It was also fun on the first day of shooting to have all the Scouts complaining that the requirements were impossible with the peep sights. I'd let them have their fun for a bit, then I would clear the range, sit down, and knock out two targets. Not to show off, but rather to let them know it was possible ;) Its great seeing Troops having opportunities for Scouts to shoot outside of Resident Camp. The biggest reason Scouts don't earn the badge is a lack of range time to perfect their skills. Sounds like a great time!
