Staff Week for summer camp 2015 has now begun. If you are curious about the summer schedule, check out the council’s calendar here: http://www.mtcbsa.org/Parents/scout/events.html
In the meantime, if you haven’t joined us on Facebook, please do so. We have several things going on over there that we will not be posting to the blog, such as staff photos through the years (1955 Rock Island Staff this week!) and a Mystery Man game. Please, come join the discussion on Facebook:

2015 Updates
We have spent the last months making a number of upgrades to VirtualBoxwell.org. Some are quite small, but others are some significant content revisions. Here is the run-down.
All copyright dates updated to reflect the new year.
A new “In Memory…” page to recognize deceased staff members. This is a new link off the main page.
A new “Staff Reunions” page was added to the Staff Section. This page has all the formal photos from the past five Reunions as well as select informal photos. All photographs are identified.
The section links for the Virtual Museum have been updated. Further, the Woodbadge page (formerly in “Staff”) has now been moved to Permanent Exhibits.
A new subpage for the Boat Harbor Maintenance has been added to the Camp Stahlman page.
A new subpage for the Boxwell Zipline has been added to the Reservation page.
The maps have been updated to reflect current changes at Boxwell, including “McKinney Pond” (formerly Woodbadge Pond).
There have been updates to each section of the Primer as well.
The VirtualBoxwell Banner has been updated for the winter.
Below are the original images used for the updates. Be careful–there are a few!
And, of course, Flickr has been updated with all the Reunion Photos.

Last Weekend for 2014 Boxwell Staff Reunion Photos!
This is the final weekend we’ll be offering the 2014 Staff Reunion Photos, so if you haven’t downloaded the photos, you should do it now! The “formals” are provided in a printable, 8×10 format. “Informal” photos are provided as well. There are approximately 510MB of photos, so give yourself some time if you have a slow connection!
