If you are a camper like I am you have some Coleman equipment that you use regularly. If your Boy Scout troop is like mine, they also have some Coleman equipment in their trailer or shed. Coleman has been making camping gear used by Scouts for decades, and I do not see that changing anytime soon.

If you have a Twitter account you may have noticed that Coleman has been holding a $25.00 gift-card-a-day giveaway this month. I was recently contacted by a Coleman representative and asked if I would like to offer the readers of A Scoutmaster’s Blog a chance to win one gift card. It did not take long for me to to take them up on their offer.
To participate in this giveaway you will need to do two things:
1) You must have a Twitter account and follow @colemancampfire on Twitter.
2) You must leave a comment to this blog post that includes what you would get with the gift card if you won. Check out http://www.coleman.com/coleman/home.asp for ideas. Be sure to include your Twitter name in the post so that it can be verified that you follow @colemancampfire.
Your post must be left on this blog by January 8th. Limit one entry per person. A random drawing for one $25.00 Coleman gift card will be held on January 9th.
Good luck. And thanks for reading A Scoutmaster’s Blog.

This 78th post to the Melrose Scouting Productions Podcast is the final of four videos featuring the open house held by the Central Minnesota Council on September 2, 2009, to celebrate the “A Century Of Values” tour. This video features other activities that were taking place on the grounds of the council office (displays, bottle rockets, fishing, rope making, bouldering wall, etc). You will see that the Cub Scout age boys had a fantastic time participating in all the fun.

More information about the “A Century Of Values” tour can be found on their website athttp://www.acenturyofvalues.org/ Also check out their blog and the post about their visit to the Central Minnesota Council.
