Great Sauk Trail Council Presents Southern Shores Field Service Council University of Scouting Saturday, March 2nd 2019 R.W. Kidder Middle School 6700 Rives Junction Rd. Jackson, MI. 49201 Locator Map on Back Page GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of the University of Scouting Program – The “University of Scouting” is a supplemental training opportunity for all adult Scouters. It is the only time during the year where you can find, all in one place, the widest variety of training opportunities in all program areas (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing, Commissioners, District and Council Scouters). Whether you are new to the program or a veteran, you will find topics of interest. However, Basic Leader Specific Training is not part of the U of S format. This all-day Saturday event is presented as a series of class sessions much like a typical school day. Adults can register to attend the courses that are of interest to them. Two all-day courses for youth will be presented. The College of Cub Scouting provides a wide variety of courses from pack administration to planning for an outdoor program. The College of Boy Scouting provides an exciting variety of troop, patrol and outdoor planning supplemental courses to help manage the challenges of a great troop experience. The College of Venturing has courses for those who are into Scouting’s “senior” youth program and are looking for the challenges of an active high adventure experience. The College of General Studies offers courses of interest to Scouters at all levels of Scouting. Commissioners are encouraged to take advantage of courses in all the Colleges as well spend time with their units. $20.00 Registration Fee ($15.00 for pre-registration by December 31st, 2018) – This per person registration fee includes attendance at up to six University of Scouting courses, a patch, certificate of attendance and administrative costs. Pre-Registration (SAVE $5.00) –To ensure the best possibility of attending your desired courses, early registration is essential. All registrations received on or before December 1st, 2018 will be included in the master schedule of courses, and you will receive a personal schedule for the University of Scouting. Late Registration/Walk-ins – Registrations received after February 17th deadline and those registering at the door (walk-ins) will receive course assignments based on availability of space and instructors. They will be assigned on a first come, first served basis and will be charged the full $30.00 registration fee. Due to time constraints, walk-ins may be unable to complete registration in time to attend a course scheduled for the first period. Opening and Closing Ceremony – There will be a short opening ceremony for all participants. Also plan to attend the closing ceremony at day’s end. These informational and meaningful sessions will be sure to give a boost to your already uncontainable enthusiasm, as well as provide opportunities for U of S to give away door prizes. Camp Promotions & Vendors –. To provide as many resources as possible in one location, Camp Promotions as well as a number of local Scouting-related vendors will be in the exhibit hall throughout the day at U of S again this year.

  • Wood Badge Association Dissolution of the Legacy Associations
    Wood Badge Association Dissolution of the Legacy Associations In April of this year, the Association of Wolverine Wood Badgers (legacy Great Sauk Trail Council) and the (legacy) Southwest Michigan Council's Wood Badge Association held a Brunch and Annual Meeting to discuss the dissolution of the two existing association. Approximately 60 Wood Badgers attended the brunch held at Camp Teetonkah on April 6, 2013 Dissolution of the existing associations was the first step in facilitating the creation of a single association within our Southern Shores Field Service Council - only one entity will be supported by the Michigan Crossroads Council. During 2012, a committee was formed to explore and make recommendations for the establishment of the new association. Input was solicited from both legacy associations, and representatives were recruited to the committee, which took the name "ACT - Association Creation Team. Members of the committee included: Cathy Arehart, Kim Bernelli, Howard Conlon, Phil Farnsworth, Frank Grzebyk, Marlene Hickok, Larry Kowalski, Ray Marshall, James McClelland, Dick Northrup, Mike Peterson, Fred Schebor, Clifton Shultz, Carin Standish, Jim VanderRoest, and Jim Willoughby After months of work, a framework for the new association had been drafted, based on the commonalities of both associations. Documents for the proposed “guidelines” were drafted from former “bylaws” and made available upon request. During the meeting, members in attendance from the Association of Wolverine Wood Badgers (legacy Great Sauk Trail Council) voted to dissolve the current association and create a new association. Members in attendance from (legacy) Southwest Michigan Council's Wood Badge Association voted not to dissolve, and were going to contact their membership to discuss the events of the meeting.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.

  • Nationally Approved Historic Trails
    Nationally Approved Historic Trails More than 200 trails have been approved for Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, Venturers, and family campers. The Boy Scouts of America strongly recommends that hikers use only historic trails that have been nationally approved. Trails that have not been approved often do not meet Scouting standards. Each trail is different. They vary considerably in length, overnight accommodations, markings, terrain, and awards. This type of information is available from the contacts indicated. Hikers should organize themselves so that no more than 12 nor less than 3 hike in one group with proper leadership. Groups with more than 12 members should organize into two or more smaller groups that operate independently along the trail, again with proper leadership in each group. This helps to maintain the backcountry atmosphere for everyone using the trail, offers a better opportunity for observing wildlife, and makes it easier to keep the group together. Large groups tend to become strung out along the trail. Each trail listed has been rated by the trail operator so that prospective hikers may determine the suitability of the trail for each of the various age groups. If 1 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Tiger Cub dens. If 2 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Cub Scouts. If 3 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Boy Scouts. If 4 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Varsity Scouts. If 5 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Venturers.
