Philmont 2021 Hike (Hazel River & Sam's Ridge Loop)
2020-08-30 07:00 - 14:00
Hi Philmont 2021 Crew,
I am reaching out to schedule our first training hike for next Sunday, 8/30. Michelle has already begun to put together a monthly training plan, but she is on vacation this week and I wanted to get this on everyone's calendars before we all booked up.
We will be hiking the Hazel River & Sam's Ridge loop, which is a moderate hike in Shenandoah National Park.. The distance is a 6.7 miles and rated as moderate. If you have the All Trails App, you can find the hike at this link (https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/virginia/hazel-mountain-via-hazel-river-and-sam-s-ridge-loop ).
As we lead up to Philmont, we need to condition our bodies to hike with weight. I would recommend you bring a pack that is at least 25% the weight of the full pack you will be carrying at Philmont.
Fully loaded packs should not exceed 30% of your body weight. If you weigh 100 pounds, your fully loaded pack would weight 30 pounds. For this hike you would target to carry at least 7.5 pounds. One liter of water weighs about 2.2 pounds, so most of the weight for this hike will probably be liquid, however you should also bring snacks and a bag lunch.
We will meet at Trailside Middle School at 7:00 am and will depart at 7:15 am. It should take about 1 1/2 hours to reach the trailhead and we expect to return back to Trailside Middle around 2:00 pm.
I will follow this up with a Troop Track Calendar event, if you could please go to the calendar event and RSVP, I would appreciate it.
YiS,
Mr. Anderson

Wilderness Survival Campout
2020-08-29 12:00 - 2020-08-30 11:00 | 1671 Courthouse rd, Stafford, VA, United States
A camp out for the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge specifically to complete requirement #8 – Improvise a natural shelter. For the purpose of this demonstration, use techniques that have little negative impact on the environment. Spend a night in your shelter. This must be done individually (given the pandemic) and scouts can only utilize items commonly found in a typical day-pack (Example: food, water, pocket knife, first aid, rain gear, rope, and a black trash bag).

Moviemaking MB
2020-08-28 14:00 - 15:15 | Virtual
Session 2 of the Moviemaking Merit Badge.
In this session we will be talking about careers opportunities in moviemaking. You'd be surprised at how many people are involved in the production of one film! Those credits at the end of a movie acknowledge all of the crews involved in making the movie you just watched. They include producers, directors, cast, writers, editors, set and costume designers, special effects, music composer, etc. We will be learning about the education, training, and experience necessary for some of the most common career choices in the industry. Perhaps you will find your future career here!
One of the requirements for this MB is is to visit a production studio OR discuss the elements of a zoom lens. For everyone's health and safety we will not be visiting a production studio, so we will go over the zoom lens instead. Perhaps at a later date we could arrange a little field trip to a studio just so you have the opportunity to see some real professional equipment.
And finally we will be going over your treatments that you completed as homework. If you are satisfied with your idea we will start storyboarding. This is where you draw a few sketches so you have a starting point when you go to begin filming.

Moviemaking MB
2020-08-21 14:00 - 15:15 | Virtual
This will be the first of two sessions for the Moviemaking Merit Badge. In this first class we will learn a little bit about the history of movie making and then watch a few videos and discuss the elements of a good motion picture or film. Topics will include visual storytelling, rhythm, the 180-degree axis rule, camera movement, framing and composition of camera shots, and lens selection.
We will also talk about the types of programs you are allowed to create for your final presentation. Homework for this class will be to write a treatment about what you plan to film. This is basically just a very rough draft of your idea but should include a summary of your story & a brief description of your characters.
If you would like to take notes, please feel free to print out the workbook attached below.
