August 2021 Newsletter

A Note from the Founder: Reminder – Quest Clubs Has Merged with Curiosity Untamed

Kerry Cordy

Just a reminder for those who may have missed the last newsletter. I have now merged Quest Clubs with Curiosity Untamed and everything is now on the CU website. Once I am assured that everything is working properly I will have the Quest Clubs domain reroute to the Quest Clubs page of the CU website. If you are a Quest member and you need something that I have not yet put on the CU website, please let me know so that I can add it. Any help from Quest members to ensure that I don’t forget anything is appreciated!

All Quest specific pages can be found under the Quest tab on the menu. The Quest members page is now located at: https://curiosityuntamed.com/quest-club-members-area/. The Quest Clubs Leaders page is located at: https://curiosityuntamed.com/clubs/quest-club-leader-page/. (Accessible only to club leaders.)

If you are a Quest Member, I have already added all Quest accounts to the Curiosity Untamed website. In order to have access you will need to reset your password however as I am unable to transfer passwords to the new website. If you are able to log into the CU website, but cannot view the badges, please email me and I will fix your account ASAP.

Thank you again for all your support and patience. If you have any suggestions for the website, please let me know. I still have a lot I wish to add to it over time, but can only progress as quickly as finances allow. Feel free to send me ideas to add to the wishlist and I will implement them as quickly as I can. I will keep the Quest website up and running for several more months until I am sure everything has transferred to the CU website.

Badge of the week for August


Wild Rangers Head Outdoors!

Meet the Wild Rangers, a Quest Club through Curiosity Untamed, and a great example of how the Curiosity Untamed program can be used to get kids outside and learning new things. This was the first troop meeting of 2021 where the Wild Rangers earned their First Aid and Hiking badges. Some of their activities included: – Discussed what to bring on a hike. – Talked about Leave No Trace policy – Created our own First Aid Kits and learned when to use what items. – Practiced trail etiquette and how to work together to find a lost friend. – What to do if you’re the one who is lost. Stay put and blow that whistle! – Practiced hiking up and down steep hills. – Evaluated streams for possible safe crossings. – Discussed and practiced climbing trees.

Frontier Troop 109 Reaches Super Troop Status for the 14th time!

Troop 109, a combined Quest Club and Frontier Girls troop, has once again earned Super Troop status, recognizing that the Troop goes above and beyond in the annual program it offers to students. Congratulations to Troop Leader Sylvia Duke! Many thanks the Rotary Club of Big Sandy and the City of Big Sandy for their support of the Troop’s activities. 

Over the past year the Troop participated in seven service projects including making Star Appreciation Packets for the East Texas Patriot Guard Riders and making hanging floral baskets for Downtown Big Sandy.  As a Troop they earned eight merit badges: Etiquette, World Flags, Fundraising, My Troop, Origami, Japanese Culture, Gift Giving and Sea Shells.  They have also enjoyed a Troop Tea Party, Cook Out, Hike and Picnic. 

At their end of year Awards Meeting a total of 270 merit badges were awarded to Troop members including those earned by students at home.  Servant’s Hearts awarded to students for volunteer service to the community this year totaled 335 hours. In addition to badge work and community service, many of the troop members put in the extra effort to earn a variety of higher awards this year as well.
