Peter Ashworth faces our Executive Committee. Thanks to our new Michael Brown multi-year options, I can gladly say that, although it will still be a major focus of the Executive Diane Cloutier Committee, we have already secured 62 memberships through June 2009, 35 memberships Jeff Dumais through 2010, and 30 into 2011 and beyond. During the next year, you will see a couple of new things as our focus. Beginning with the Winter Gathering and continuing throughout the year, our theme will be the history of Cachalot with the year 1964, and the major fire that ravaged camp, as its focal point. And with our first major scholarship goals behind us, we will be unveiling in January some ideas for maintenance and program fund-raising needs.

  • 2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information
    2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information (Patrol Leaders, Unit Leaders and station staff should read and know before the event. Be aware changes have been made since last year.) The Klondike Derby is a test of scout skills and of the patrol method. If your troop routinely practices traditional scout skills and is “scout-led”, you’ll find nothing unfamiliar with what is expected of you to score well. No matter your score, your participation in this event will help make you a better troop and will strengthen the bonds that make good patrols. Ideally, scouts will learn their strengths and weaknesses and have a fun weekend. We are very proud of all our participants. CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS: Senior patrols have been eliminated in favor of a rank handicapping system. In previous years, patrols of higher ranking scouts were segregated into a “senior” division. However, they still completed the same challenges as “regular” patrols at all stations, and typically only a very small number of patrols were identified as a senior patrol. This year all patrols will be handicapped based on the ranks of patrol members, which will level the playing field for all patrols. Details of the handicapping system are described in the scoring section below. Patrols should be “natural” patrols as much as possible; if natural patrols need to be merged to crew a Klondike sled, efforts should be made to average out ranks as much as possible. Troops must submit a patrol roster including each scout’s rank at registration, at which time the patrol’s handicap will be determined.

  • Scoutspeak 101 November 2020
    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board. November 20, 2020 Page 1 of 16 Council Support The thinking here is that Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members.

  • Presents the 2Nd Annual
    Presents the 2nd Annual NCAC FACTS The National Capital Area Council (NCAC) was chartered to Congress in 1911 and today stands as the largest and oldest youth-serving organization in the greater Washington, DC area. The vision for the National Capital Area Council is to accomplish the mission of the BSA in such an exemplary manner as to be recognized by our public as the premier youth organization in the communities we serve and as second to none in all our endeavors. Through its character-based programs, hands-on activities and diverse learning opportunities, Scouting guides young people towards a healthy, lifelong pursuit of self-improvement and community involvement while instilling in them an appreciation of the environment. Corporate Mission and Vision: The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. The Scout Law: A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. The National Capital Area Council provides programs to youth living in the District of Columbia and 16 counties in Maryland and Northern Virginia. AS one of the oldest youth-serving organization in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, the NCAC serves more than 55,000 youth through the dedication of 22,000 active adult volunteers.

    The Patriot Press http://www.ncacbsa.org/patriot/press Volume 21 April 2018 Issue 04 Patriot District National Capital Area Council Boy Scouts of America Pinewood Derby 2018: Another Great Day of Cub Scout Fun! The annual Patriot District Pinewood Derby – the Super Bowl of Cub Scouting – was held on Saturday, March 10, at Living Savior Lutheran Church in Fairfax Station. The event was once again a smashing success, with 157 Cub Scouts from 18 District Packs competing. From the smiles and sheer volume of raucous laughter, clapping, and Scouting-mayhem, it was evident that everyone, from the youngest Cub Scout to the most, um, “seasoned” Scout leaders and adults, had a fabulous time. Cub Scouts competed in either Speed or Show categories within their respective Den groups: Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, and Arrow of Light. Participating Cub Scouts personified good sportsmanship throughout the day, and it was truly inspiring to see these young future leaders act in such a mature and honorable way. Joining the competitors were highly energized parents, siblings, and friends who arrived in waves as the day progressed to share in the fun and cheer on their Cub Scouts. PWD 2018: The Largest Such Event in the Last Eight Years Leading the planning and execution of this exciting event again this year was Pete Griffiths, Patriot District Pinewood Derby Chairman, serving in his eighth year as Race Director and track/timing engineer. Clearly the highlight of the day, ALL day, was the entertainment provided by the Masters of Ceremony tag-team of Andy Chaves (Pack 1101 Cubmaster) and Joe Margraf (Troop 1346 Assistant Scoutmaster), who captivated Cub Scouts and spectators alike with their unique and masterful, non-stop, always-stay-on-your-toes shtick.
