 By Administrator on May 5, 2010, at 4:00 pmSeveral of our Scouts headed to Rock Creek to go fly fishing over the weekend while the OA members attended Conclave at Boxwell. It was a great weekend of skills development and drying off after playing in the creek. Doesn’t get any better than that!
By Administrator on March 21, 2010, at 6:37 pmTroop 859 was well represented at the Order of the Arrow’s Southern Region 6 Conclave held at Boxwell Scout Reservation in Lebanon, Tennessee. We joined the rest of Wehali Chapter members and Kawida Lodge members there and celebrated coming in 3rd Overall (out of 10 Lodges) in the Quest competitions and games. Way to go, Kawida!
Three of our Kawida Lodge’s Arrowmen were awarded, and honored: Aaron Shepherd, Section Secretary | Alex Hill, Section Vice Chief | Don Combs, Southern Region Chief, were all honored with custom-made gifts. Aaron Shepherd was also elected Section Secretary. When you see him, congratulate him! Good job Kawida, and don’t forget to mark your calendars for Conclave 2011 at Camp Crooked Creek. April 8th-10th, 2011. By Administrator on March 21, 2010, at 4:55 pmThe new BSA health form must be used for all troop, council and national Scouting events beginning in April. It can be found on the scouting.org website where it can be filled in online:
Once the form is completed online and printed out, just take it to the doctor for his signature. Doctors will sign an updated health form if the individual has had an examination that is less than one year old.

The history of McKee Scout Reservation is rich in diversity. Native Americans occupied east central Kentucky before the white people arrived. The Shawnee settlement of Eskippakithiki was less than 5 miles from the present day McKee. Grape Knob would have offered a good observation point from which Daniel Boone or a Shawnee could view the surrounding land. The courthouse in Mt. Sterling was built with stone that was mined from Grape Knob when it served as a rock quarry. McKee has a special sense of place. → Continue reading Interesting: A History of Camp McKee By Administrator on March 16, 2010, at 11:00 am By Administrator on March 16, 2010, at 10:39 amSkills Weekend at Camp McKee was a great weekend.
Here are a few shots of the Scouts after they hiked to the top of Grape Knob; climbed up one of the Adirondack Shelter, cooked breakfast in camp and tried their hand at Geocaching.  Top of Adirondack  Top of Grape Knob  Waiting for French Toast

By Administrator on March 8, 2010, at 2:09 pmJust a reminder that every Scout needs to pay Troop dues of $60 per year. Pay in one payment or $20 3 times a year - first $20 payment due now. Pay Rich M. All Scouts pay Troop dues.
Arrowmen: OA 2010 Dues of $15 now due. Pay Kawida Lodge Order of the Arrow. Bring check or cash to next meeting and we will turn in the dues all together. All Summer Camp fees due before Spring Break. Pay Rich M. Anyone wanting to go to summer camp must pay. BSA Membership fee: the newest Scouts do not have to pay the BSA fee this year, because they are treated as transfers who paid their Pack previously.
