That's about it for this newsleer, I look forward to seeing all of you on April 6th. Get out, get acve, get excited, you're going to a Jamboree!!! Mike Jacobs Scoutmaster, 2013 Great Southwest Council Jamboree Tourstop Trolley Monument‐al Trivia Dale Balmer, Tour Director A highlight of any trip to Washington, DC, is to view the many monuments and memorials available in the area. Although there are dozens, if not hundreds, that can be viewed, the me constraints on a Jamboree conngent mean that only a few of the more well‐known or popular ones can be visited. To make the visits more enjoyable, here is some trivia or lile known facts about some of them that you’ll be vising. Be on the lookout when vising the memorial or monument to see if you can find these dbits! Let’s start at one of the more popular and well‐known memorials, the Lincoln Memorial, and then move on from there. One of the more well‐known things to look for at the Lincoln Memorial is the ‘typo’. On the le and right side walls in the memorial are words from several of Lincoln’s speeches. Carving words from Lincoln’s beer known speeches in stone means you need to get it right the first me. And if you don’t… you fix it… and everyone can see your mistake! Hint – take a look at the inscripon of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address. Also, the Lincoln Memorial, and parcularly the sculpture of a seated Lincoln at the center of the memorial, is the subject of two urban legends. The first one is a claim that the face of General Robert E. Lee was carved on the back of Lincoln’s head, and looks back across the Potomac towards his former home, Arlington House. Arlington House is now within the bounds of Arlington Naonal Cemetery, at the top of the ridge when viewed from the Lincoln Memorial looking across the river. The second legend is that Lincoln is using sign language to represent his inials, with his le hand shaped to form an “A” and his right hand to sign an “L”; the president’s inials. This is supposedly due to the sculptor, Daniel Chester French having a son who was deaf. Abraham Lincoln signed federal legislaon giving Gallaudet University, a university for the deaf, the authority to grant college degrees. According to the legend, the sculptor was so grateful for Lincoln having signed this legislaon that benefied his son and many others that are hearing impaired, that he carved Lincoln’s hands so that they represented leers in American Sign Language. However there is no reliable documentaon that indicates this was the sculptor’s intent. And the Naonal Park Science denies both legends. So you’ll have to look closely at the memorial and decide for yourself… are they fact or ficon? 2013 National Jamboree Uniform information and Personal Equipment All uniform standards are mandatory.

  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

  • 100 Facts About Scouting
    100 Facts About Scouting 1. Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, is an Eagle Scout. When he said, “The Eagle has landed,” he wasn’t kidding. In 1969, Armstrong became the first Eagle Scout to be portrayed on a U.S. postage stamp - called “The Man on the Moon.” 2. The original Invention merit badge (1911-1918) required the candidate to obtain a patent. 3. In 1911, 18-year-old Scout, Joseph Lane started Boys’ Life magazine, which goes to 1.1 million Scouts each month. A year later, the Boy Scouts of America bought the magazine for $6,100 - about $1 per subscriber. 4. James E. West was the BSA’s first Chief Scout Executive. When he took the position in 1911, he agreed to serve six months. At his retirement in 1943, he was given the title of Chief Scout. 5. The BSA is the second-largest Scouting organization in the world. The largest is in Indonesia. 6. One of Scouting’s most popular traditions, patch trading, has bloomed into a full-fledged hobby. Some rare patches are worth thousands of dollars. 7. For all but two years from 1925 to 1976, illustrator Norman Rockwell illustrated the annual Brown & Bigelow Boy Scout calendar for free. 8. Former Congressmen Alan Simpson and Norman Mineta served together from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s. They met as Boy Scouts during World War II, when Simpson’s troop from Cody, Wyoming, visited the internment camp where Mineta and his Japanese immigrant parents were being held. The two became - and have remained - close friends and political allies.

    Washington, D.C. Visitor’s Guide Office of Congresswoman Angie Craig Second District, Minnesota A Note from the Congresswoman Welcome to Washington! I am excited that you have chosen to visit our nation’s capital. My staff and I have put together this guide to help you plan your trip to this historic city. From monuments and museums to restaurants and shopping, there are so many exciting sites to see here in Washington. I encourage you to try to see as much as you can while you are in town. Whether you chose to rent a bike, tour the city by foot, or utilize the DC Metro system, there are a variety of options to help you get around. Some of my favorite attractions are the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Phillips Collection. I also always love catching a game at the Washington Nationals Stadium (though my loyalty will always be with the Minnesota Twins!). Additionally, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial, are some of D.C.’s most popular attractions. There are also nineteen free Smithsonian museums that have something to capture every interest. It’s also great to make a trip to Arlington National Cemetery where you can pay your respects to our fallen veterans and watch the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Washington also has a great food scene. One of my favorite restaurants is Bluejacket, a brewery located in the Navy Yard neighborhood. (need a dish recommendation she likes there or favorite beer).

Landscapes documented through the CLI are those that individually meet criteria set forth in the National Register of Historic Places such as historic sites, historic designed landscapes, and historic vernacular landscapes or those that are contributing elements of properties that meet the criteria. In addition, landscapes that are managed as cultural resources because of law, policy, or decisions reached through the park planning process even though they do not meet the National Register criteria, are also included in the CLI. The CLI serves three major purposes. First, it provides the means to describe cultural landscapes on an individual or collective basis at the park, regional, or service-wide level. Secondly, it provides a platform to share information about cultural landscapes across programmatic areas and concerns and to integrate related data about these resources into park management. Thirdly, it provides an analytical tool to judge accomplishment and accountability.
