The complete plan is posted on the OA web site at: http://www.oa- bsa.org. National OA Committeeman Randy N.B.: Randy, what exactly is a Cline strategic plan? Cline: Strategic planning is a long-range visioning process. We took a good look at ourselves and our situation, what we do well and what we could do better.

I enjoyed last year’s campaign so much that I couldn’t wait to get started again. Together, we raised $8.7 million for our favorite charities. I am proud to say this was the most we’ve ever raised and the biggest annual increase in the history of the campaign. It was truly a fantastic year, and working with so many wonderful and compassionate volunteers was a tremendous inspiration. In fact, my belief that Californians are the most generous people in the world is stronger than ever, and I know that we can set the bar even higher this year.

Concurrent with my service to Scouting, I have been an avid collector of Scouting memorabilia with a particular interest in commissioner insignia. Over the years, I've acquired some information on the history of commissioner service and some documentation on various areas of commissioner insignia, but have not found a single document which covers both the historical aspects of such insignia while describing and identifying all the commissioner insignia in all program areas - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing, and the various roundtables. This project does that and provides a pictorial identification guide to all the insignia as well as other uniform badges that recognize commissioners for tenure or service.

In order to show progress, a unit is counted if it has been contacted at least once by January/February, two times by March/April, three times by May/June, four times by July/August, five times by September/October and six times by November/December. For example, a unit that was not contacted until March will not be counted in January or February, but will count in March, if it receives two contacts that month. At the end of the year a unit needs at least six total contacts to be counted.
