The "Golden Hammer " has been passed

 The day started off with all of the Week 1 contingents leaving after their amazing experience at SummitCorps.  This is when the new staff for Week 2 had to step it up a notch and really take on their roles they had come to SummitCorps to play.

To make the trade-off of staff official, the Youth Incident Commander of Week 1 handed off the Golden Hammer to the Youth Incident Commander of Week 2, all while the National Chief presided over the ceremony.

 

To make sure all the staff are on the same page and to be sure that the SummitCorps Week 2 guests have one of the best experiences of  their lives, a staff meeting was held after staff photos were taken.  The staff photos have been posted on www.Photobucket.com/SummitCorps2011

 The Team Leader of the Order of the Arrow gave an inspirational message to the staff of Week 2 about our purpose of being here in West Virginia and how we are helping the youth of the Order of the Arrow as well as the local community.  It is not just to "build trail".

To make sure everyone has a safe time on the trails, the safety staff handed out hard hats and safety eyeglasses to protect everyone from hazardous situations while trail work is going on.

All of the staff members left the meeting excited and ready to receive guests tomorrow.
