frontage on Winnipesaukee River. This property was originally part of the Spaulding Youth Center lands and was cut off by I- 93. It was purchased by the town in 2005 with Conservation Funds with the stipulation that it would be named in honor of Richard P Smart who was a long time resident of Northfield and had served as headmaster at the Golden Rule Farm which is now Spaulding. As the access to the property was difficult, the town acquired an easement from the abutting property owner to create a trail from the parking area. The trail leads down to the river and a large rock formation known as Devil’s Den. Granite Mills (U07-101) This .5 acre parcel on the river was purchased in 2009 with Conservation Funds.

Haddock: Friend, Brother, Leader During lunch Brad noticed Dr. Goodman giving him his undivided attention, making him feel as if he were the most important person in the world. The second occurred during the 60th Anniversary Celebration at Treasure Island Scout Camp. Arriving late, Brad and National Vice Chief Eddie Stumler stood in the back of the audience behind two young Arrowmen during the opening flag ceremony. Unnoticed by the two, Brad and Eddie overheard their conversation. They wanted to meet and talk with the national officers, but they remained unsure how to introduce themselves. As the two turned around following the ceremony, they recognized the national officers and became tongue-tied. Brad and Eddie quickly introduced themselves and engaged the two young Arrowmen in conversation. Brad realized that as a leader, people should not have to come to you; you should go to them, be approachable, and make them feel comfortable.

  • Boy Scouts Strategic Plan
    National Council Strategic Plan 2011-2015 BSA 2.0 : APPS for Our Second Century Impact & Participation Resources & Finances Building Our Brand Dynamic & Relevant Innovation & Technology Advocacy & Relationships Leadership & Culture Introduction As our first century of Scouting comes to a close, I am delighted to share with you our 2011–2015 National Council Strategic Plan. This document represents the confluence of our vital mission with a clear corporate direction and will be the cornerstone for our second century of Scouting. I am particularly proud of the grassroots support and feedback given by Scouters throughout the country that provided guidance as we developed objectives and goals that are in direct support of local councils. This investment made in setting our course may well be one of the most significant accomplishments in the history of our movement. The National Council is committed to following this strategic direction with a very formal process; allocating manpower and financial resources appropriately, and setting course cor- rections as the environment dictates. The stakes are simply too high to put forth anything but our best effort. I offer my personal thanks to Steve Weekes, the Strategic Planning Steering Committee, and the hundreds of volunteers and BSA employees whose extraordinary passion and talent have led us to the doorstep of our second century. Robert J. Mazzuca Chief Scout Executive Once again, I am reminded of the challenges and rewards that come with active participation in Scouting. The development of the 2011–2015 National Council Strategic Plan has proven to be an interesting and satisfying experience for me, and I am extremely grateful for the efforts everyone has made to contribute to our exciting new plan.

    1 REMARKS NATIONAL ANNUAL MEETING MAY 22, 2014 I AM DEEPLY HONORED BY YOUR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN ELECTING ME AS NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. I HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO HOLD A NUMBER OF HIGH-RANKING POSITIONS IN MY LIFE, BUT NONE MEANS MORE THAN TO LEAD THE ORGANIZATION THAT, FOR ME, ENABLED ALL THE REST.

NOW, AS AN ASIDE, I MUST SHARE WITH YOU THAT MY BECOMING NATIONAL PRESIDENT AFTER A CAREER IN CIA BRINGS SCOUTING FULL CIRCLE BECAUSE, YOU SEE, ROBERT BADEN-POWELL DURING HIS MILITARY CAREER SERVED AS A SPY.

HE ONCE SAID, “FOR ANYONE TIRED OF LIFE, THE THRILLING LIFE OF A SPY SHOULD BE THE VERY FINEST RECUPERATOR.” HE DID PIONEERING WORK IN RECONNAISSANCE, OR AS THE MILITARY THEN CALLED IT, SCOUTING. JUST A BIT OF TRIVIA WITH WHICH YOU CAN WIN SMALL BETS. BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, LET ME THANK WAYNE PERRY FOR HIS DYNAMIC AND HISTORIC LEADERSHIP DURING A PERIOD OF CHALLENGE FOR THE BOY SCOUTS. WAYNE, WE ALL OWE YOU A GREAT DEBT OF GRATITUDE FOR YOUR REMARKABLE SERVICE, YOUR DEVOTION TO THIS MOVEMENT AND YOUR STEADY HAND OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS.
