2020 Camporee Leader’S Guide Calapooia, Eagle Valley and Willamette District 2020 Camporee Leader’s Guide Honoring the Past Celebrating the Future 100 Years of World Scout Jamboree 1920 – 2020 Cascade Pacific Council Boy Scouts of America Dear Leaders: This year, Calapooia, Eagle Valley and Willamette Districts are combining their camporee which will be held on May 1st – 3rd, 2020 at Camp Taloali (15934 N Santiam Hwy SE. Stayton, OR 97383), approximately 3.5 miles east of Stayton OR on highway 22. This year’s theme is 100 years of World Scout Jamboree. Our Camporee slogan is “Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Future”. The camporee is open to all Troops, Teams and Posts. It is encouraged that second-year Webelos Dens also participate, competing as an independent patrol or as part of an established crew or patrol. Please make sure to divide your unit into patrols or crews for the competition events during the Camporee. Each patrol/crew should be around 5 to 8 participating youth. The competition portion of the Camporee is based upon the skills obtained in the Boy Scout Handbook from Scout rank to First Class (Trail to First Class, TTFC). We hope that your scouts are challenged while having fun. If you have any questions, please contact the Camporee Chair. Below is a list of tentative events scheduled for the 2020 Camporee. Please note that station availability may change due to lack of station coordinators and/or volunteers. The required events that all patrols must participate in are: • Fire Building • First Aid • Knots • Service/Conservation project • Lashings (Pioneering) • Skit/song • Orienteering In addition to the required events, two elective events from the following are required: • Archery • Scout Knowledge • Tomahawks/knife throwing • Kim’s Game • Minefield We hope your unit will have a fun and exciting Camporee experience.

After 03/31, units will only receive a 25% discount ($30/attendee, youth or adult) until April 24th. Units will be required to pay the full price of $40/person to register from April 25th to May 1rd. Please register as early as possible so that we can plan accordingly. Online registration is required and will be available as soon as possible. Your District Executive will make an announcement to your unit once the online registration is made available.

PLEASE NOTE: Webelos will not be able to participate in all events and activities, such as tomahawk or knife throwing. They will be allowed to participate in all activities which are considered age appropriate per the Guide to Safe Scouting. EVENT/STATION COORDINATORS Please note!

IF your unit is providing an event or station coordinator, that individual need not register with the unit during online registration. However, their name and contact number must be listed on the Adult Leader roster found at the end of the Leader’s Guide. All station/event coordinators MUST be preapproved by the Camporee Committee prior to the March Roundtable (March 13, 2020).

A separate letter must be presented indicating that the unit leader has verified that all attending adults are current with their youth protection training. o If your unit is providing an event or station coordinator, that individual still needs to be listed on the adult roster, but please indicate their role as a station/event coordinator so that your unit isn’t charged $40 for the extra attendee. Upon entering Camp Taloali, Order of the Arrow (OA) representatives will show you where to park your vehicle and direct you to Camporee Headquarters for check-in. Upon receipt of the required paperwork, units will be given their camping assignments and a totem for each patrol to be added to their patrol flag to decorate as they move through the Camporee events.

  • Life to Eagle Trail
    Life to Eagle Trail Monmouth Council BSA Advancement Team 2017/2018 Life to Eagle Trail Agenda • Purpose • Introduction • Eagle Requirements • Eagle Scout Board of Review (BOR) • Eagle Scout Project Ideas • Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook Life to Eagle Trail Purpose The Trail to Eagle Guide has been prepared by Monmouth Council Advancement Committee to guide and assist scouts seeking to advance from Life rank to the Eagle Scout rank. This Guide outlines the applicable Council procedures and processes, provides helpful hints, and addresses many of the questions that scouts and leaders have about the process. We urge you to read and become thoroughly familiar with the contents of this guide. Life to Eagle Trail Introduction CONGRATULATIONS for earning Life Scout Rank! Look around your Troop – not a lot of heart-shaped badges to be seen, are there? At each stop on Scouting’s Advancement Trail, fewer and fewer Scouts remain from the group you started with as a Tenderfoot Scout. You have traveled high on Scouting’s Trail to Eagle. You are just one step away from the highest and most prestigious rank in Scouting, Eagle Scout. Why should you go on to Eagle? As Sir Edmund Hillary replied when asked why he climbed Mt. Everest, “Because it’s there!” You are so close now that not going on will be the cause of regret in the future. The main reason to continue is for your own personal sense of meeting an enormous challenge – completing the requirements that few earn. Achieving Eagle Scout Rank is a symbol of achievement recognized throughout the country.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Boy Scouts Of America First Class Requirements Meliorative West sometimes fancy any skirls secretes heritably. Salomon is saurian: she itinerating somewhy and skin her gunslingers. Actinoid and self-locking Zackariah ionizing his bowsprit calcine permeated attractively. National jamborees are held between the international events. This is allowable on the basis of one entire badge for another. Mcbsa has your hobbies?

What about Transferring into Trail Life USA as an Eagle Scout? If the candidate is found unacceptable, he is asked to return and told the reasons for his failure to qualify. Scout is meeting our aims. Experiential learning is the key: Exciting and meaningful activities are offered, and education happens. However, the troop should eventually develop its own fundraisers and become independent financially. Scouts BSA Requirements is released, then the Scout has through the end of that year to decide which set of requirements to use. In cases where it is discovered that unregistered or unapproved individuals are signing off merit badges, this should be reported to the council or district advancement committee so they have the opportunity to follow up. Instead it provides programs and ideals that compliment the aims of religious institutions. Did your service project benefit any specific group?

  • 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.
