12
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.320
And we have two great events that
we were here to promote. We've

00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.920
got our Pinewood Derby and then we
have our golf tournament coming up on May

14
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.479
twenty fourth. But I want to

15
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.920
Mike's going to talk about Pinewood Derby
and Michael ahead, okay, yes,

16
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:06.239
uh yeah, we're trying to get
our fine with Derby re established here in

17
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.400
town. So we're going to try
to get what we call the district race.

18
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.799
Wow good, Yes, and we're
going to have this out the mall

19
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.640
on April thirteenth from one to three. That way, nobody can play the

20
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:30.879
wind and so from one to three, just all scouts anybody, I don't

21
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:36.319
care who it is. Just bring
your cars. There is a registration on

22
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.959
the line that you can go to
to race for your car. And if

23
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.040
you don't get online, just come
on out anyway, we'll get you in

24
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.200
the race. There you go.
I'm taking a look at this car here,

25
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.079
looks like the blue whale that you
see down at Katusa. There exactly

26
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.359
what it is. Yeah, it's
the Route six to six whale. Oh

27
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.359
gosh. And it rolls, goot, wheels out and everything getting Yeah,

28
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.480
yeah, get a little bit of
weight there where you need it. It's

29
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.280
all about distribution, isn't it.
Distribution? And it basically that's pretty good

30
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.560
job. I bet I've had down
the track a few times, you know,

31
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.000
once you get started on that.
I understand that because I got friends

32
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.639
my age who were playing with Derby
boys. They're now playing with Derby men

33
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.479
men. Okay, they like going, Hey, let's go play with the

34
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:27.000
cars. Car. Well, sometimes
i'm out here racing. Adults even bring

35
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.319
their cars in. I bet they
do. Captain Forever. Yes, they

36
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.560
said, this is what I built. I want to see go down the

37
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.960
track. They just want to see
it as one as they go down to

38
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.759
track. Again, we're going to
have open class race as well, and

39
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.960
we've got door prizes. We're going
to have the lot way you can see

40
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.120
the list, but here you yeah, there's there's a list of door proses.

41
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.240
Yeah, so throughout the race we're
going to have the door prizes.

42
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.680
Wonderful. Yeah, this is going
to be a lot of fun. This

43
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:55.199
is going to be a lot of
fun. Well, we're hoping to get

44
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.680
back going again. So because back
in the eighties and nineties whom you had

45
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.960
sky Ama, Well I did the
district christ here in town. It was

46
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.800
popular every year. Yeah, and
just kind of fiz it out. Well,

47
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.159
it's for a rebirth. I think, you know, get that get

48
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.479
that thing up and kicking, and
I think once this group of kids that

49
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.680
have never seen it, once they
see this, I say, don't want

50
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.360
to do it again. They're gonna
be like the adults going one more time

51
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.080
down. Yeah, it's one of
those things that it's just that fun.

52
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.960
So this is gonna be cool.
Well even even girls are doing it now,

53
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.960
American heritage girls, sure, they're
getting into the race. So there's

54
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.120
this one young man that went to
our school every year, winter, winter,

55
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.680
winter. You know, like,
all right, Alan, what's the

56
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.879
trick here? What you doing here? Following directions? And that's all he

57
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.560
was doing. You know, he
didn't have to have it anything to do

58
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.919
anything, follow the directions. He
just kept winning. He just loved those

59
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.080
little trophies and he just loved having
fun with it. So and that let

60
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.360
other kids say on the quest here, because by golly, they're gonna go

61
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.439
for Allan's trophy this year. And
then you know, finally Allen kind of

62
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.400
aged out and other people started winning, but they wanted to be the next

63
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.039
towl. So I know how this
goes. It's a it's a lot of

64
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.600
fun. And then especially with little
folks, young folks, they just really

65
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.800
get a kick out of Yes they
do. You know, this is this

66
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.519
is where we're going to be giving
away for the first, second, third

67
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.399
place winners. Oh great, so
but the well it's just for display.

68
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.600
Uh yeah, And they put their
cars on their trophy. I got you,

69
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.399
I got you, so they can
have that there for time memorial.

70
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:45.600
That's right, that's right, oh
man. And I think that we're planning

71
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.680
on to having a fishing derby in
June, if I remember. I don't

72
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.879
know what the date is, but
I know sometime in June. The Quanders

73
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:58.639
of Blabies were sponsoring the co and
then the other thing too, is in

74
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.600
June twenty back, yeah, and
twenty third. It's got road Fast.

75
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.360
They've you heard of road Fast.
Yeah, that's a lot of fun.

76
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.600
That's the route sixty six. Yeah, celebration, and I'm going to be

77
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.879
down there for races as well.
So getting it all taken care of,

78
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.800
you can be kind of busy,
yes, yeah, I get busy with

79
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.120
Pine with Derby. Well, you
know, you know, it's a passion.

80
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.000
Once it gets in, you know, it's like that buggy just can't

81
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.079
shake and you don't want to shake
it. I've been doing this for thirty

82
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.319

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.720
sake. Yeah, I love it. It's a hobby. That's a hobby.

84
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:42.160
We'll ask your wife. Triple A

00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.600
Oh yeah, and they're doing it

That's the big, big anniversary of
the Mother Road, right, And

87
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.519

like everywhere I've lived, I've been really

88
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.079
near Route except for Florida, but
I've always been either living right on or

89
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.519
right near Route sixty six. And
that that history is just so much a

90
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.199
fabric of who we are and what
we are and everything. Yeah, definitely

91
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.319

right, what you got going on
with the golf with the golf tournament.

106
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.240
So we're excited again again. This
is another event that we have coming up

107
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.519
on May twenty four, right here
to Adam's golf course. So we're looking

108
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:25.079
forward to coming. Come and join
us. You can register online at a

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.519
Cherokee b SA dot org. You

110
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:35.439
excited to have the team with Howard
feel and and uh as I would chair

111
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.240
for the event this year, and
and uh on the Tiffany Cook and and

112
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.920
her and her team. It's just
great to see the community come together and

113
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:48.399
help support scouting. We're so excited
because uh this event uh will allow us

114
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.360
to provide funding for the scouting program. So you know, we talk about

115
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.079
the fall recruitment coming up. Our
goal is three hundred and six new scouts

116
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.199
this fall, so this event helps
us towards that goal. So we're looking

117
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.720
forward to another great event right here
at Adams Golf Course. All right,

118
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.639
this is great. You know,
we might as well just call ourselves kind

119
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.680
of home of the Eagles because we
have so many Eagle Scouts. I don't

120
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.000
know what Philip's doing with these kids, but they stick in. Once they

121
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.959
get in, they stay in.
Would we have thirteen eagles? We did?

122
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.920
We did. We had sixteen last
year, sixteen sixteen last year,

123
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.759
and so we're excited. And again
it goes back to the leadership that we

124
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.759
have in this council. We have
so many great leaders that are there with

125
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.039
our scouts day in, day out, week in week out, and so

126
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.720
along with that, we sat our
brain for the first time in one hundred

127
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.039
and fifteen years. Want to thank
you not to wait for their support as

128
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.200
well, because for the first time
in the history of this council, we

129
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.879
will have our own National Youth Leadership
Training course right here in our council.

130
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.720
And we already have twenty eight of
our own scouts registered for this event.

131
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.279
And we're excited because of the first
time in our one hundred and fifteen year

132
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.279
history that we're hosting this event and
so our scouts don't have to go to

133
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.679
Kansas or somewhere else, you know, travel two three hours. They can

134
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.320
just do it right here locally.
And so we're excited for this event.

135
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.519
And again it just provides that leadership
training for our Scouts, which then allows

136
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.480
us to have good programs and continue
to to cut a program for another one

137
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.080
hundred and fifty more years. How
do we sign up and how do we

138
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.080

00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.279
the last time you were here,
Philip, were just phenomenal. It wasn't

152
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.919
just the ego Scouts, but the
way that we were just outpacing all the

153
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.000
Scout councils throughout the United States and
our area correct, everything it was is

154
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.679
unbelievable and again goes back to the
leadership in this council. We have a

155
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.799
great, great, great board.
We have one of the best boards in

156
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:37.639
America. We have great Scout leaders
again to support this community, starting with

157
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.840
United Way with their financial support,
and then our council board and our donors.

158
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.399
You know, we have a great
group of volunteers that are dedicated to

159
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.919
the longevity of this council and keeping
Scouting affordable for every youth I wanted to

160
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.720
have been scouting. We're just so
proud of that. Last year was a

161
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.879
great year again and we couldn't have
done about to support this community. We've

162
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.360
had a support of our board members, support of volunteers, and wetter support

163
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.080
of United Way. So we're very
blessed to be right here in Bartibo,

164
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.279
Oklahoma. And we have the right
kids too, because they still know that

165
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:15.320
there's a big value in scouting.
Some of the places in the United States,

166
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.559
it's not as prevalent, but we've
got such a good name and such

167
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.559
a good reputation and such wonderful outcomes
here. It's like, what do you

168
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.080
mean you got to be a scout? And kids, if you're listening,

169
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.480
you should be at school. But
if you're listening, bug mom and dad

170
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.080
saying I want to be in that, I want to join, and then

171
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.840
we'll get you going. I want
to thank you both of you, gentlemen,

172
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.000
for coming in here, having us, thanks for bringing the car that

173
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.440
brings back a lot of good.
It really does, it really does.

174
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.480
And of course the golf tournament coming
up as well. And stay tuned,

175
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.519
ladies and gentlemen, we have our
news coming up at the top of the

176
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.679

killed me all right here on K one,

177
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.240
the one you trust
