Scouting for Food is Chester County Council’s largest service project involving several thousand Scouts and volunteers across the county.

The slogan of the Boy Scouts of America is “Do a Good Turn Daily”. To do a good turn is INSIDE THIS ISSUE more than simple good manners. It is a special act of October Camporee Winter Challenge kindness. As individuals, it should be our moral obligation ScoutStrong PALA Challenge to help those in need. A simple act of kindness such as Eagle Scout Advancement Changes helping to provide a meal to a family that can’t afford one District News and Calendar, Chairman’s goes a long way in making someone’s day a good one or a Corner, Rechartering, Journey to Excellence, bad one.

We are very thankful that the Chester County Council of the Boy Scouts of America is stepping up to help provide food for the hungry in our County. We thank them for their support and this very valuable partnership with the Chester County Food Bank.” Russ Neubauer, President of the Chester County Council, Boy Scouts of America said “One of the lessons that Boy Scouts teaches is to do a good turn daily and be of service to others in our community. What better way is there for an eight year old Cub Scout, or a Scout, or an adult of any age, to learn this lesson than by helping to collect food for families who otherwise would go to bed hungry? This is the type of caring service we want to instill in all our Scouts not just at the holidays but year round.” Non-perishable food items most needed by the local food cupboards here in Chester County are: Soups - Canned Fruit - Cereal - Peanut Butter - Rice - Low Sodium Foods - Canned Vegetables - Spaghetti Sauce – Stuffing Mix - Low Sugar Foods - Canned Meats - Jelly – Pasta - Instant Mashed Potatoes - Reduced Fat Foods - Microwaveable one serving meals Please—nothing perishable, frozen or in glass.

Take the SCOUTStrong PALA Challenge The Boy Scouts of America and the President’s Challenge program have teamed up to help Scouts of all ages and abilities increase their level of physical activity by completing the SCOUTStrong Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA). PALA is offered by the President’s Challenge, a program of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (www.fitness.gov). MOVE IT · LOG IT · EARN IT PALA is designed to motivate participants to be physically active on a regular basis by doing the activities they enjoy. Select from activities like walking or biking around the neighborhood, hiking a trail, cleaning the house, playing with the kids, mowing the grass, playing basketball, running, gardening, yoga, and many more. Best of all anyone regardless of their fitness level can achieve PALA! HOW IT WORKS To achieve a SCOUTStrong PALA, your goal is to be active at least 5 days a week for 6 out of 8 weeks. Youth (6-17 years) should get moving for at least 60 minutes per day, and adults (18 years or older) should be active for 30 minutes per day.

The Horseshoe Trail District Newsletter is produced by the District Committee Editor: Toni Gorkin - Contact [email protected] to provide content to this newsletter Page 3 BSA HORSESHOE TRAIL DISTRICT NEWSLETTER Chester County Council November 2011 Eagle Scout Advancement – Process Changed The new process for Eagle Scouts to advance from Life to Eagle Rank was described at the October 11 Horseshoe Trail District Roundtable. Rich Coster, HTD Committee Chair, presented the Life to Eagle Seminar to about 30 people, including 12 youth. The new Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook is now available from the Chester County Council website through a link to http://www.eaglescout.itgo.com/Process.htm. Scouts on the path from Life to Eagle can use the new process and the new Workbook now; they must use it as of January 1, 2012. Submit the Eagle Project Plan Rich Coster pointed out that much about the Eagle Scout process is the same; the Eagle Scout project still is intended for the Scout to demonstrate leadership. The biggest change is that the approval of the project occurs earlier, with the Scout submitting an initial plan and basic idea, documented by the Scout using the new Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook. This plan is still to be reviewed with the Scoutmaster, beneficiary organization representative, Troop Committee, and then by the District Representative. This initial approved plan becomes part of the Eagle packet. Carry Out the Project Then, after signatures have been received on this initial plan, the Scout proceeds with detailed planning – again using the new Eagle Project Workbook -- and then completes the project.

Leaders, proud of their Scouts‘ many accomplishments that have been recognized that night, are coaxed into a horseshoe formation for a word of thanks by the Camp Director. Thousands of Scout Leaders have given their time and effort over the last 83 summers so that Scouts could experience the brotherhood of Scouting and the Spirit of Horseshoe Scout Reservation. The Horseshoe Scout Reservation Alumni Association has dedicated our 11th reunion, in the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th Anniversary year, to honor Horseshoe’s Scoutmasters and Leaders – please have them return with you for this salute. We are asking that you reach out to the leaders that you know and remember, and bring them with you, be it in person or in spirit. The festivities will take place 1:00 pm – 8:00 pm on Saturday, July 10, at the Goodman Pavilion at Camp Horseshoe. Attendees will have the afternoon to once again collect the dust of Horseshoe in their moccasins by touring the Reservation, renewing old friendships, and sharing memories. Everyone is encouraged to bring HSR photos and memorabilia to display and also documents for inclusion in the HSRAA Virtual Museum.
