========================================
Montana Thanksgiving Council 2007 notes:


Thanksgiving Council encourages/endorses/affirms/recognizes the
vision of these Consensii:


1) Process for scouting: It is encouraged to have a centered (which
could be mobile) Scout Fire where people who want to scout can check
in physically; These folks hopefully will all make the 1st Scout
Rendezvous date of Thursday May 1st, site TBA, to let folks know where
they'll be scouting and where folks
can check in periodically [in person or by phone].


Then these scouts who've checked in will rendezvous again with what
they've found out the 1st week of June at the Scout centered Fire.


2) Mobile Scout Fire will open 1st of May '08 outside Pinedale in the
Upper Green River Valley in Wyoming.
NOTE: Scouts will radiate out to all the National Forests in Wyoming
from this Initial Scout Fire.
This is not a council, just a starting point to rendezvous and begin
scouting.


3) Sunday June 2nd is the date of the 2nd Scout Rendezvous; The 2nd
scout Rendezvous will figure out & announce the location for Spring
Council depending on weather conditions, & hopefully near the best
possible sites.


4) Tuesday June 10th will be the Spring Council date, site to be
consensed by scouts at 2nd Scout Rendezvous that will start on June
2nd.


5) Site Criteria List:


-Respect for the earth;
We at Thanksgiving Council of the Rainbow Family Tribe, reaffirm that
the Rainbow Family Tribe is and has always been committed to the
welfare of the land, that we value the integrity of all life on the
earth and recognize that caring for the land is as important as caring
for our tribe. We encourage scouts to avoid sensitive areas and
protect critical habitat, to look for areas that need our help, and to
find land that isn't critical habitat for threatened or endangered
species, in wilderness areas or in wetlands.


-Show respect & connect w/ the local tribes, and be sensitive to
cultural concerns of tribal people


-Low(er) Elevation, 6000 ft or below ideally


-Good Springs access (legally) to water


-50-100 acre meadows w/ a dry area space in the meadow


-No Roads thru the meadow; Back access road


-Road in not single lane, not dangerous for school buses, not
overlooking Gathering, open for our use.


-Accessibility to springs by kitchens


-1 square mi


6) Magic Hat:
At this Thanksgiving Circle, we are encouraging that there be a Magic
Hat till May 1st.


All the donations sent to Magic Hat of this Annual Gathering for
Rainbow Family Tribe will be brought to Scout Fire May 1st, & used
only for scouting; Whatever's left over will be brought to Spring
Council. No funds will be allocated to scouts until May 1st Scout
Rendezvous.


Hat Holders until first Scout Fire will be contactable, accountable,
and responsible for bringing donations to 1st Scout Fire.

interested parties sometime after the 2nd Scout Rendezvous and before
Spring

8) We affirm that Front Gate at the Gathering is everybody's
responsibility, and this Council requests kitchens and communities and
everyone else in the Gathering to please allocate volunteers to plug
