A Primer for Scouts and Parents BSA Troop 69 Information, Facts, Myths, and Other Stuff You May Want to Know A Primer for Scouts and Parents Compiled March 2002 revised 10/2003, 1/2004 1 of 45 Boy Scout Troop 69 Information for New Scouts and Parents The information on these pages is intended to help new and “old” Scouts and parents learn about our Troop and the Boy Scout program in general. If you have a question and do not find the answer here, please let us know by using one of the comment links. You can email me at [email protected] The most basic information is in our Troop Handbook. This is intended for both Scouts and parents and should answer many questions. A puzzling thing to new members is always the Scouting lingo or acronyms. You will have to forgive us... it becomes second nature after a while and we forget we are even using it. Here is a general glossary of Scouting terms to help you figure out what we mean. We have a few other local ones in our own troop glossary. People always are anxious about purchasing equipment. Our troop gear guide will help you to figure out what you need, and when. I would like to thank Troop 70, 61, and 575 for their useful information and web sites as sources of some this information. 2 of 45 Table of Contents BOY SCOUT TROOP 69 ................................................................................................ 2 INFORMATION FOR NEW SCOUTS AND PARENTS ............................................ 2 BOY SCOUT TROOP 69 ABOUT OUR TROOP & TROOP PHILOSOPHY.............. 5 WELCOME TO TROOP 69........................................................................................... 7 WHAT ARE THE BOY SCOUTS?................................................................................ 7 TROOP ORGANIZATION ............................................................................................ 9 PARENT INVOLVEMENT................................................................................................... 9 TROOP MEETINGS ......................................................................................................... 11 TROOP COMMUNICATION.............................................................................................. 11 WEBSITES ..................................................................................................................... 11 NEWSLETTERS .............................................................................................................. 11 EMAIL........................................................................................................................... 11 UNIFORM...................................................................................................................... 13 TROOP RULES (CODE OF CONDUCT)................................................................... 14 ACTIVITIES .................................................................................................................. 14 TROOP CALENDAR.................................................................................................... 14 TROOP FINANCES...................................................................................................... 15 TROOP CAMPING....................................................................................................... 15 TROOP & SCOUT EQUIPMENT ....................................................................................... 16 For every outdoor activity, in a daypack or waistpack:........................................... 16 Camping Equipment................................................................................................. 17 A GOOD IDEA IS TO LABEL EVERYTHING WITH YOUR NAME....................... 17 Backpacking............................................................................................................. 17 ADVANCEMENT.......................................................................................................... 18 ADVANCEMENT THROUGH FIRST CLASS ....................................................................... 19 ADVANCEMENT FROM FIRST CLASS TO EAGLE.............................................................. 19 SCOUTMASTER CONFERENCE ........................................................................................ 20 BOARD OF REVIEW........................................................................................................ 20 PRESENTATION OF BADGES ........................................................................................... 20 REVISION HISTORY .................................................................................................. 21 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY........................................................................................ 22 LOCAL SCOUTING TERMS...................................................................................... 22 3 of 45 APPENDIX B: TROOP CALENDAR (THIS WILL BE CHANGED- NEW CALENDAR).................................................................................................................. 23 TROOP 69 EVENTS SCHEDULE 2003-2004..................................................................... 23 APPENDIX C: TROOP & PATROL JOB DESCRIPTIONS................................... 24 TROOP 69 JR.

Currently, a troop of 25 scouts, we are chartered to Tri-City Elks in Louisville, Colorado. Active in the Boulder County area since the 1940's (chartered in 1942), many of Louisville's citizens have been members at one time or another. We have won numerous awards over the years such as Freez-o-ree, Klondike, Scout Show, & Arapahoe Rendezvous. Recent Awards Year Winners-Scout Cooking contest, Red Ribbon Campsite Award (Oct Arapahoe Rendezvous 2003) Boy Scout Honor Unit 2002-2003 Quality Unit Award 1990-2003 Camp Cedars, NEB Troop Spirit Award (June 2003) 60 Teams started, 6 finished- troop 69 had 2 of the finishing teams. Klondike Pirate Patrol won 3rd Place in their division (March 2003) Arapahoe Rendezvous Top Troop Overall Award (Oct 2002) Scout Show Best Slide Show 2001, 2003 NCAR Greenie Award Finalist 2002,2003 Wm P Hornaday Medal Nominations and award applications for troop and scouts (2003) Standard of Excellence From 1994 to 2003, we will have had about 150 young men join Troop 69 and produced 20 Eagle Scouts. This means that about 12-15% of our troop membership reach Eagle rank, well above the 3% national average and considerably higher than the Eagle attainment rate of Scout groups in South Boulder County. At present, the troop has scouts that range in age from ten to sixteen. Currently, we have 3 Eagle, 4 Life, 2 Star, 7 First Class, 5 Second Class , 2 Tenderfoot and 3 Scout ranks. We are a Scout-run troop; Scouts plan our yearly calendar and most troop activities. We also have a high participation level of adults & parents in our troop with 8 trained leaders, 3 climbing instructors, 2 high adventure coordinators, and many dedicated moms & dads that come along to "relive 2nd childhoods"! Spirit of Adventure Possessing an active outdoor program, we camp outdoors on a year-round basis. Yes, even in the winter with 4-6 nights over the course of a typical cold season. We completed 25 nights of camping in 2002, did 30 in 2003, and have about 35 planned in 2004. In addition, we do several day activities during the course of the year. We participate in the Arapahoe District Rendezvous and Klondike, many of the Cub Day Camps, summer camp and went rafting on the Colorado River. We have been to 5 out of state camps in the last 5 years, attended

  • Simplified BSA Volunteer Position Descriptions Wood Badge Project by Kent Nuttall Version August 27, 2018
    Simplified BSA Volunteer Position Descriptions Wood Badge Project by Kent Nuttall Version August 27, 2018 Several Units and Districts struggle getting adults to volunteer especially for leadership positions. There are a variety of reasons for this struggle, including: • Parents today feel they are too busy to take on volunteer assignments • Parents asked perceive any Scout volunteer assignment will be too time consuming or is well above their ability • The current position descriptions spend undue focus on responsibilities, and look complex. This project focuses on simplifying position descriptions and changing their focus to highlight the few outputs expected along with resources that will help them succeed. Further support includes guidance for using the new position descriptions. FEEDBACK IS REQUESTED These are still in development. Please feel free to send feedback to [email protected]. Before using or sending feedback, read more about the position descriptions to understand the format and content provided. Using the Position Descriptions The position descriptions have the following design characteristics: • These are simple one-page descriptions that provide the essentials of the position. It is most helpful for asking volunteers to accept a position and in providing them their orientation. Over time, the leader will receive training and grow their skills beyond this simple description. • Instead of focusing on RESPONSIBILITIES, we’re focusing on the OUTPUTS we want to see. These are described in the table below. • Training, meetings, and resources are presented as those things that will help the leader succeed, not as a list of requirements. • They have been left as a Word file so you can modify them for your District or Unit.

  • Collecting Scouting Handbooks 1910 1911
    Collecting Scouting Handbooks The ISCA Getting Started Collecting Series If you are now or were ever a Scout, your first Scouting “collectible” was probably your Cub Scout or Boy Scout handbook. Since Scouting was founded in 1908 and then incorporated in the United States in 1910, there have been millions and millions of Scouting handbooks distributed. In this introductory article we will only talk about Handbooks for the Boy Scouts of America. However, if collecting printed materials from Scouting catches your interest, there are many different possibilities that a collector can consider, from both the United States and around the world. Since 1911, there have been eleven completely different editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. The following is a brief summary of each one. 1910 68,900 copies The 1910 Handbook, also referred to as the “Original Edition”, was not new material but rather a compilation of existing information from two other sources. Soon after the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America in February 1910, there was a huge demand for a handbook that could be used to support the efforts of the early United States Scouts. Ernest Thompson Seton, the first Chief Scout of the BSA, offered to prepare a book that could be used until the first “real” handbook could be developed. He took material from Baden-Powell’s Scouting for Boys that had been published in England in 1908 and his own Birch Bark Roll used by the Woodcraft Indians, an earlier outdoor program youth group, and combined them to make the first Boy Scouts of America Official Handbook.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

  • Learning from the Past, Facing the Future the Boy Scouts, USA
    CASE STUDY 6Learning from the Past, Facing the Future The Boy Scouts, USA Where is there a boy to whom the call of the wild and the open road does not appeal? ~ Robert Baden-Powell A man’s usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune make for a finer, nobler type of manhood. ~ Theodore Roosevelt 86 Mention the phrase “character-forming institution” to an American male of a certain generation, and chances are high he will invoke the Boy Scouts. The most popular youth movement in American history, the Scouts became the preeminent virtue-building organization of the twentieth century, influ- encing a web of other civic institutions. More than 105 million boys have participated in the program, including disproportionate numbers of leaders. To this day, the Boy Scouts remain an icon of the sort of citizen that once made America exceptional and proud. But times have changed, for better and for worse. As this is writ- ten, the Boy Scouts of America is considering filing for bankruptcy. The organization has been tossed about by cultural waves, the most recent relating to changing norms around gender and sexuality. The brand car- ries baggage. Functionally, Scouting has been damaged by declines in volunteering and community activity, the shifting structure of modern families, conflicting messages around basic notions of masculinity, and pervasive cultural swells toward self-advancement, away from character and community.

    Chris Farnitano, MD 324 Shenandoah Dr. Martinez, CA 94553 October 11, 2012 Wayne Brock, Chief Scout Executive Boy Scouts of America 1325 West Walnut Hill Lane PO Box 152079 Irving, TX 75015-2079 Dear Mr. Brock: I am writing to you to strongly protest your actions and the actions of the National Office of the Boy Scouts of America in contributing to the denial of the rank of Eagle Scout to Ryan Andresen of Troop 212 in Moraga and his expulsion from the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of his sexual orientation. I am an Eagle Scout, scoutmaster for Troop 239 of Mt. Diablo Silverado Council, and the father of two Eagle Scouts and one Life Scout who is working towards Eagle. I have been very proud of my Eagle. I worry that my sons and my scouts will view their Eagle Scout Awards now as more of an embarrassment than a badge of honor. I work for Contra Costa County, a governmental agency that does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. I worship at a Christian church, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Pleasant Hill, that does not discriminate, and I pledge my allegiance to a country whose military does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. The Boy Scouts of America continues to practice a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy regarding sexual orientation. This policy destroyed many careers when it was in place in the US military, and it is traumatizing our youth as it is practiced in the BSA. My church has refused to serve as a chartering organization for a local Cub Scout pack as this BSA policy conflicts with our religious commitment to welcome all regardless of sexual orientation.

  • Commissioner Service, Our First Hundred Years
    COMMISSIONER SERVICE, OUR FIRST HUNDRED YEARS A research thesis submitted to the College College of Commissioner Science Longhorn Council In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree By Paul N Dreiseszun 2010 INTRODUCTION As we approach the 100th anniversary of Scouting and the Commissioner Service, we need to look back and salute those Scouters that have worn the insignia of the Commissioner. Scouting has changed in those many years. Requirements and uniforms have changed. Council structures and boundaries have been altered. But the role of the Commissioner as Scouting's conduit for unit service remains unchanged. I have been honored to serve as a Unit Commissioner, Assistant District Commissioner, and District Commissioner. My experience is that it can be the most difficult position in Scouting. But it can also be one of the most rewarding jobs in Scouting. As we reach Scouting's centennial, the Commissioner position is getting renewed emphasis and exposure. Funding for non-profits is getting harder to come by resulting in less growth of the professional staffs. The need for more volunteer Commissioners is as great or greater than any time in the past Our role in Scouting will continue to be fundamentally important for the next 100 years. As Commissioners, we must make sure that every unit is offering their boys exactly what is promised to them …, fun, excitement, adventure, and ultimately a quality experience. The Roots of Commissioner Service As Commissioners in the Boy Scouts of America, we are delegated authority and responsibility from the National Council through our "Commission" per the By Laws of the National Council.

  • Weston Boy Scout Troop
    BETHANY BOY SCOUT TROOP 146 CODE OF CONDUCT & DISCIPLINE POLICY Code of Conduct The “Spirit of Scouting” establishes high expectations for the behavior of all Troop 146 Scouts. All Troop 146 Scouts and adult volunteers are asked to abide by the rules and guidelines set forth here and are expected to show self-control and self-discipline at all times. The leadership of Troop 146 expects our Boy Scouts to behave in accordance with the Boy Scout Oath and Law. Physical violence, hazing, dishonest behavior, bullying, theft, verbal insults, drugs and alcohol have no place in Scouting and may result in the revocation of the Scout’s membership in the Troop. Here are some examples of living the Scout Law: Friendly & Kind – Fun is only fun if everybody involved agrees its fun. If it hurts, if it is mean, if it excludes, if it frightens, it has no place in Troop 146. Making a new Scout feel welcome to our Troop is another way of living the Scout Oath and Law. Trustworthy & Brave – Scouts are encouraged to speak out if they see other Scouts not following the Scout Oath and Law, and/or tell a Scout leader or Adult leader. Thrifty - Scouts are expected to show proper respect toward any property put in their trust. Obedient - Following directions is essential for safety and is part of a respectful environment. Scouting events happen in a friendly, safe and supportive environment where Scouts have fun, learn and grow. Here are a few examples of inappropriate behavior that will not be allowed: Failure to follow reasonable directives from scout leaders (including patrol leaders, senior patrol leaders, etc.) Dangerous, unruly, loud, disrespectful or disobedient behavior.
