Boy Scout Troop 259 Raven Knob Scout Reservation Boy Scout Troop 259 Church of St. Therese March 2009 Volume 4, Issue 1 Raven Knob Scout Reservation We will again have a large contingent going to summer camp. This year we will have 30 scouts and 15 adults going to Ravenknob in the mountains of North Carolina near Mt. Airy. A link to the leaders guide has been posted to the website. Please take a look at the merit badges that will be provided and be thinking of which ones you want to take. The merit badge signup is due by May 1st, and the most popular selections will be first come first serve. This is a great way for new scouts to get a jump start towards rank, and for those older scouts to get merit badges that they may not see at other venues—Archeology, Orienteering, Cinema- tography, Mountain Biking, etc. The schedule will permit scouts to take as many as 8 merit badges (though this would be a lot of work with little downtime). For the adults going, the leaders can get Climbing Instruc- tor Certification, Climb-on Safely, CPR, New Leader Essentials or Safe Swim instruction. As usual, we will be working on the Scoutmaster Merit Badge while we are there. No rest for the weary. On Saturday, February 7th between 8 and 10 am, our scouts served well over 250 pancakes and sau- sages at our Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser held at the Applebee's Restaurant on College Drive. Our final ticket sale total was 223 which meant that $810.16 went back into the individual accounts of the 22 scouts who sold tickets. Thanks to the many adults - Mr. Goodman, Mr. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Stutz, Mrs. Halman, Mr. Ball, Mr. Wright, Mr. Byrd, Mr. Collins and Mr. Greiling—for all of their help that day but the biggest thanks goes to the scouts who greeted, seated and served our community in a most pleasant and helpful manner!!! It was a quick 2 hours but the boys never stopped. Those who worked at the breakfast included: Will G., John B., James W., Joe G., Houston P., Jack C., Thomas W., Sheldon G., Chad O., Thomas B., Nate B., Mitchell H., Jimmy S., Joe Z., Garrett H. and Tyler P. Thanks again to all who greeted or served at, ate at, sold tickets for, washed dishes during, or otherwise volunteered to make this fundraiser a grand success!! -by Kym Poole ORIENTEERING MERIT BADGE WEEKEND On Feb 20-22, 2009, the Tidewater Council held an “Orienteering Merit Badge Weekend” at the Pipsico Scout Reservation in Surry County. The instructors for the badge were part of the James River Orienteering Club. Four scouts from Troop 259 attended the event along with two adult leaders. Austin Bosley, William Goodman, Zachary Shermer and James Walker set out on Friday, February 20 to earn the coveted Orienteering Merit Badge. The scouts from Troop 259 joined another 50 scouts and their leaders for three days hard days of classroom work and field- work. The quest for the badge started immediately on Friday Night with orientation and class work lasting from 8:00 PM until 10:00 Friday Night. Frigid temperatures in the upper teens Friday night made for a cold night in the tents, but the scouts per- severed and were up before 7:00 AM the next morning. After a quick breakfast, the scouts were back hard at work Saturday morning by 8:00 AM, with more class work. The class work covered topics ranging from topographical maps to compass reading. The topographical map studies included learning the symbols used on the maps, to using the maps to find clues and locations on an orienteering course. Compass work in- volved knowledge of the parts of the compass, to using it to orient a map to a detailed explanation how to compensate for Dec- lination differences between the compass and maps. After lunch on Saturday, the Scouts were finally ready to take to the field to solve the riddles and puzzles of their first orien- teering course. This course had been specifically laid out for this class, one of three courses they would have to navigate over the course of the weekend. After dashing through the course, it was back to the classroom for more instruction which lasted past dinner and into the late hours of the night. The Saturday night air was crisp and cold as the tired scouts settled into their tents for a much needed rest Saturday night. Sunday morning arose, overcast, but slightly warmer as the scouts assembled to complete the final two obstacle courses they needed to navigate to earn their merit badge. The first course they traversed wound its way through the forests at Camp Pipsico. The scouts found that their compasses provided little guidance in the dense forests. They had to use their newly learned knowledge of navigating with a topographical map combined with a special clue sheet to find the correct topographi- cal features where the hidden „controls „were located. An additional obstacle was presented when our scouts were separated from one another and grouped with other scouts from other troops. Sunday afternoon brought forth a misting rain as the scouts embarked on their last obstacle course. This cross country course covering over 2000 meters provide an hour long challenge to the scouts but once again they passed the test with flying colors. Once back at the dining hall, they gathered around their instructors and received their signed „blue cards‟ and each also re- ceived a special neckerchief slide to signify a job well done. Even, our two leaders in attendance, Warren Goodman and John Walker came away with a slide and a much greater understanding of orienteering. As the tired scouts headed for home late Sunday afternoon, the sky was grey and threatening. A driving rain and a scattering of snowflakes ushered out a very long weekend. The scouts had earned their merit badges and in the process had doubled to eight, the number of scouts from Troop 259 who have now earned this difficult merit badge. - by John Walker, ASM Troop 259 Feeds the Homeless On February 5th, the Scouts again hosted the area homeless, serving Chili, Corn Bread, and Salad on a very cold night. Ap- proximately 90 guests were served, and all were very impressed with the warmth of both the food and the greeting provided by the Scouts. We had great participation with 31 scouts and 18 adults in attendance. Special thanks go out to Warren Goodman who ran the kitchen, Maryview Hospital which provided the food, and Ted Miller who stayed all night long as a monitor. Additionally, the Girl Scouts of Troop 503 provided lots of cookies for dessert that evening. We also had participa- tion of Felicia S. and Thomas B. who represented Venture Crew 259. This is the third year that the Scouts have served the homeless and we look forward to doing it for many years to come. -by George Ball, Scoutmaster 21 scouts and 10 adults, including four from Troop 206 in Portsmouth, made the journey to Timberline Four Season Resort over the Martin Luther King weekend (January 19-21) for two and a half days of great skiing. The trip up was less eventful this year than last (though there was one minor mishap – note to parents, supply your scouts with Dramamine or some other anti-nausea medicine if they are vertigo-impaired). Despite this minor problem, we all made it up safely. The weather was fantastic again, though a little brisk with single digits to below zero temperature readings at night and early in the morning. We quickly found out who the morning people were, since the assigned breakfast slot was at O dark thirty. The wait for equipment the next day was painful, and the short staffing resulted in hours of delay. Ex- cept, of course, for Bob and Toby, who slept through breakfast and woke up just in time to take advan- tage of the diminished equipment line. Once on the slopes, though, it was smooth skiing. Well almost. Only one slight injury when one scout fell on another getting off the lift. The weather cooperated through the weekend, with light snow and winds. The new scout skiers took their lessons and proceeded to have a great time. Otto Stutz and Bill Leber did a great job with the Snow Sports merit badge, and 11 scouts earned a badge that weekend. What the heck is a Stem Christie, anyway? The ―veterans‖ were hard to pry off the slopes, except at meal times and the occasional detour to the lodge to catch some of the playoff action. Many lasted un- til the slopes closed down for the night. -by Dave Byrd Tidewaters Council Scouting University Each year the BSA Tidewater Council has their annual scouting university. This is a day long event in which scout leaders can take a myriad of scouting classes. This year’s university took place at Grassfield High School. 3 leaders from 259 attended and said they all learned a lot and had a good time doing it. I would strongly recom- mend going to this event. -Warren Goodman The weekend of February 13-15, Troop 259 held its annual “Back to Basics” camping trip at Johnson‟s Farm in Suffolk. This camping trip traditionally focuses on refreshing all of the necessary Boy Scout knowledge. This year, we focused on basic cooking and knot skills. This year it was a requirement for the scouts to cook their meals without using propane. (Yes the adults did too, just to prove that we could.) This meant no stoves.

  • Staff Guide the Syllabus Wood Badge
    WOOD BADGE Leadership for Scouting—Leadership for America STAFF GUIDE THE SYLLABUS WOOD BADGE (This page intentionally left blank.) ii 2013 edition WOOD BADGE Wood Badge Foreword Welcome to Wood Badge, the ultimate leadership training program for the adult leaders of the Boy Scouts of America. Established in 1919 by Robert Baden-Powell, Scouting’s founder, Wood Badge has been the training ground for hundreds of thousands of Scouters around the world. As the challenges in the world have changed, Wood Badge has also evolved to give leaders the skills they need to strengthen Scouting in meaningful ways. The latest version of Wood Badge train- ing represents the most significant changes in the program since the early 1970s. Building on the past, understanding the present, and looking to the future, Wood Badge stands ready to provide leadership for Scouting and leadership for America. The Wood Badge course brings together leaders from all areas of Scouting—Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, Venturing—and all levels of Boy Scouts of America professional staff. Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, the course also draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles, and successful outdoor leadership organizations throughout the country. This version of Wood Badge builds on all that has come before it. Veteran Wood Badge staff members will discover that the best of the traditions and experiences of Wood Badge have been brought forward and recast to be enjoyed by today’s participants. In addition, Wood Badge draws from a wide range of sources within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest in leadership theory and team development.
