How do I make contact? positive attitude Phone rosters and organization charts are maintained on a members-only V Maintain your own records yahoo group that can be accessed from the Troop website. Unlike Cub V Keep your paperwork & fees straight Scouts, the Scouts are in charge (with lots of oversight from the adults). The Scout Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) has the overall responsibility for planning and executing activities with guidance and mentorship from the adult SM. The Troop is organized into patrols with a Scout Patrol Leader (PL) in charge of each. We assign a pair of adult Assistant Scoutmasters (ASM) to each patrol for additional help. The SPL receives support from his youth staff (called the Green Bar Council or Patrol Leader Council) in similar fashion to the SM receiving support from the adult Troop Committee. When all else fails, contact the SM, Mark Henshaw, at [email protected] . 3) How do I find out what’s going on? a. The home page of the Troop website: i. “On the Horizon” (lower left) ii. Permission Slips, Event Guidebooks, and Flyers (lower right of home page) iii. Calendar (link at top left of home page) b. Attend Troop events. Hard copy agendas with upcoming events are sometimes distributed at Troop meetings. Announcements are always made at the end of each event. The latter is a great source for both Scouts and parents to tune in for the latest changes. c. Email messages from the SPL. Make sure the Committee and SPL have your latest email address. This is best done by contacting our Advancement Chairperson. d. Call/email/text your PL. If he does not have the answer, he will contact the SPL or the Patrol’s ASM. e. Research. Resources on the internet are plentiful ( www.scouting.org , www.usscouts.org , www.boyscouts-ncac.org , www.boyscouttrail.com , meritbadge.org/wiki ), as well as publications like Scouting and Boys’ Life . This reference material can also be found on the Troop’s website front page under links. 4) How important is it to make every Troop or Patrol event? By joining Boy Scouts, you have joined a team and made a commitment to something larger than yourself. No other single activity will provide you the same depth and breadth of experience, leadership opportunities, and character building. From time to time you will find that school work, illness, and family trips keep you from attending Troop and Patrol events which is understandable. The Boy Scout program is self-paced and Troop leadership does its best to provide multiple opportunities to earn advancement over the course of a year. 5) What goals should I set for myself? The Troop believes that you will have a rewarding experience in Scouting if you participate, bring a positive attitude, work as a team with your fellow Scouts, and follow the rules. Your goals may include showing up and having fun at events, going to summer camp, hiking the rugged terrain of Philmont, filling up your merit badge sash from the more than 135 merit badge opportunities, serving as the SPL, making Eagle Scout, and becoming a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. Before you set your goals, ask yourself a couple of questions: a. What other activities are you doing? Do you have too much on your plate to commit to Scouting? b. Are you in a big hurry to advance? Are you okay with repeating tasks in order to master skills instead of “checking the box” to move on? 6) There is paperwork, fees, and training? a. Scouts. Youth Membership (Form 524-406A); Annual BSA Health and Medical Record (Form 6800-001); National Honor Patrol Award Tracking; Application for Merit Badge (Form 34124), Boy Scout Handbook, & Troopmaster database; annual registration, campout, grub, & summer camp fees b. Scouters. Adult Application (Form 524-501A), Merit Badge Counselor Information (Form 34405), Training (e.g., Youth Protection Training (YPT)). 7) What can my parents do? The robustness of the Scouting program relies heavily on parent involvement. The Troop has many areas where the parents can plug-in. If Scouting adventures where ASMs participate in events such as sleeping under the stars in weather ranges from -2 degrees to 90+ degrees, canoeing 20 miles, or hiking the rugged Appalachian Trail is not your thing, the Troop is always in need of Merit Badge Counselors, Committee members, and overall parent participation. 8) The transition? If you are transitioning from Cub Scouts, congratulations. As you begin your Boy Scout adventure, you will notice that you will have to rely on yourself more and less on your parents. This may be a difficult transition during the first couple of months of Scouting and is completely normal. The best way to minimize this is to work within the communication structure detailed above. As always, if you still have questions, you can approach the SM. “It is the mission of the Boy Scouts of America to serve others by helping to instill values in young people and, in other ways, to prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetime in achieving their full potential. The values we strive to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath and Law.” Troop 189 Scouting Year (CY 16 -17 ) Aug • Rock Climbing/Highland Games Campout Feb • Ski Trip @ Timberline, WV on Catoctin Mountain, MD • Scout Sunday • Order of the Arrow (OA) Elections Sep • Hiking Campout @ Shenandoah NP Mar • Geocaching Campout - Belle Isle State (10 mile hike, astronomy) Park, Lancaster, VA • Chinn Center Swim Night • Court of Honor • Mulch Distribution Oct • Mulch Delivery Apr • Scout 101 Campout • Devon 50 Campout - Valley Forge/Philly • Occoquan District Camporee (10 mile hike, navigation) • OA Spring Ordeal (TBD/tentative) • Troop Elections • Troop Leadership Training • Scouting for Food • Troop Elections Nov May • Adopt-a-Highway • NCAC Camporee, Goshen Scout • C&O Canal Campout at Marsden Tract, Reservation Carderock, MD (20 mile hike, bike trek) • National Trails Day • WEBOREE/Walter Mitty Campout (PWFP) • Court of Honor Dec Jun (Scout skills, outdoor games) • Flag Retirement @ Quantico • Holiday Party • Summer Camp • Annual Planning PLC • District Merit Badge Day • OKPIK (Cold Weather) Campout, Big Run Jan Jul • Adventure Campout @ Deep Creek, MD State Park, MD (TBD/likely) (Snowshoeing, Quintzee building, pulk sledding) Aug • Annual Troop Planning Picnic • Campout TBD .

  • 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.
