We don’t expect to have one person step up and take on Contacts ........................................ 14 the role of super leader. If we can get a handful of parents working together, the role is not so difficult and very rewarding. James Batho has signed on as an assistance leader for Monday and Yvonne Place has been helping on Tuesday. If you think you can help, then please contact Roland or Anthony. Wombat will be stepping back as leader of Thursday night. He has done a great job with Thursday scouts and I am pleased Luke had the benefit of his leadership over many years. I am just as pleased to hear that Burleigh Heads Bullant will be stepping into the position. He has worked with Wombat for Scout Group a number of years but will also bring his own skills to the position. I look 32 Stephens Street forward to seeing how the group performs. They have already had a Burleigh Heads. great start with one of their patrols finishing in the top ten at Butterfly. PO Box 69 Since we have lots of new scouts so Roland has provided an article that Burleigh Heads Q 4220 outlines the scouting way. This will be useful to new parents and a reminder to existing parents of how things work in scouts! www.bhscouts.com.au [email protected] Regards Phone 07 55 350 744 Jeff Butterworth (Numbat) Mobile 0416 257 093 Burleigh Heads Scout Group Swimming Carnival At the start of Term 1 for 2013 we held a group swimming carnival at Marymount School. We had a beautiful sunny day, just perfect for swimming. We had a good attendance, mainly from the scouts. Anthony organised the BBQ (would we ever get fed if it wasn’t for Anthony?!) Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and it was a great way to get everyone pumped for the term ahead. Hopefully we will have another one towards the end of the year and we will be able to organise more events across the sections! At least it’s a soft landing if you fall! Ride ‘em cowboy! Working Bee It’s time for another working bee. Camp Kallaroo and the den need a good clean out and the gardens need to be weeded. The working bee will be held on Sunday 16 June! Remember, many hands make light work! We will have attendance forms at the start of the term. Please make sure you sign up, even if it’s only for a couple of hours. This is where our children play and learn, let’s make sure it’s a pleasant and safe environment for them! New Equipment We recently received a donation for $1500 from Cr Greg Betts. Greg is a great supporter of Burleigh Heads Scouts and we appreciated the grants he makes to us on a regular basis. We have already purchased 10 new Squall tents for the scouts. These are slightly larger than the existing orange hike tents, which will be appreciated by the older scouts. By maintaining a mix of tent sizes, scouts can choose between comfort and weight! Working out where the poles go in the new tents! The Stork Has Arrived At BHS On Monday the 11th March our Group Leader (Wallaroo), AKA Roland Franz and his partner Kaylene MacDonald, welcomed their second child, a baby boy, weighing 2.45 Kg (5lb 6oz for the oldies) to the world. Wallaroo says they are yet to come up with a scout name. Congratulations for the up and coming Joey to follow Olandaylene, their daughter of 2 1/2 years. Burleigh Heads Scout Group Trailer This is how good our camp trailers look when given a lick of paint and some signage. Pretty slick huh?. We still have another trailer that needs to be painted. However, we’d like some help. Seems to be the same people all the time. Is there anyone who can spare a few hours to help mask up the trailer and get it painted? If so contact Anthony 0416 257 093. Looks like new! Group Shirts Just a reminder that we have group shirts available for sale for $40. We have lots of favourable comments on these when we wear them to other camps or just out and about in general. We have a variety of sizes available. Just ask your leaders about them or contact Jeff or Anthony. Clean Up Australia Day Good looking! Shirts that is.... It was pouring rain with howling winds early Sunday morning. The text messages started coming through at 8:00am "is it still on?" Quoll's response was "Yep, we'll be there at 10:00am." It continued to rain heavily until 9:00ish and the skies seemed to clear for a short period. The Scouts started to arrive well prepared with raincoats and gloves ready for action. We had a great turnout from both Scout Troops and the Scouts were partnered up with the Cubs that came along . We had 7 Leaders participate from Scouts and Cubs . The parents and Scout siblings got involved, great to see. Bed looks like the better option! Andrew Place spotted a carpet python in Headlands during the Clean Up activities. The Scouts love to see the parents and Leaders getting involved with Community Activities like this. Some returned from the Headlands with tyres and a wheel axle and 20 bags were filled. Well done Burleigh Heads Scout Group. We had some very wet Scouts after the first down pour, but they all soldiered on and got the job done regardless. We had a total of 33 participants for the day and the sausage sizzle was well received. Galah was challenged by the wind and rain, however everyone got a sausage. Quoll Its only rain! The scouts found a bit more than rubbish! Working hard Just a little windy! The scouts found a bit more than rubbish! Burleigh Heads Scout Group The Scouting Way This information sheet is for the benefit of new members and some existing who are seeking to have a better understanding of how the scout section operates in relation to ‐ Our Scouting family. This is not an official statement on the part of the Scout Association of Australia, Queensland Branch but more particularly an interpretation of scouting as it occurs at Burleigh Heads in compliance with the Qld Branch Instructions, Policy and Rules. Scout Section In relation to the scout section two basic principles apply; 1. Learning by doing. 2. The Patrol system. Learning by doing As it says, the scout section is all about learning through experience. This means that Leaders or parents DO NOT put up tents, pack bags, make sure things are not left behind or that all things necessary are in place. The exception is in the event of safety issues only. In the principle of learning by doing, scouts are guided by their Patrol Leader to learn what is needed, appropriate or expected and this relates to behaviour, knowledge and achievement, personal safety, responsibility for others and the environment equally. Scouts, through a controlled environment of the watchful eye and guidance of the Section Leader’s are ALLOWED TO MAKE MISTAKES AND LEARN FROM THEM, so they themselves gain the necessary knowledge, which combined with maturity will eventually be able to adequately lead a Patrol of 6 – 8 scouts through the experience of acquiring these skills in return.

  • 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.

  • Tent Usage in the Queensland Scout Section Issue
    TENT USAGE IN THE QUEENSLAND SCOUT SECTION ISSUE The value of the Qld Ridge Tent v the Bell Tent v the Dome Tent CONSULTATION PROCESS In gathering this information the following personnel were consulted: Assistant Region Commissioners Scouts; Region Leaders Scouts; District Scout Leaders; Experienced Scout Section Leaders; Current and former Branch Commissioners Scouts; Branch Advisor Scouts; Training Team Leaders and Jamboree Contingent Leaders. CONSULTATION PROCESS The following questions were put to the Leaders. Comments were emailed to the Branch Commissioner Scouts as well as most of those involved in the process. A discussion then took place at the Branch Scouters’ Council in October. * Does the Ridge Tent still have a place in our program? * Should Groups raise their own money to buy the Ridge Tents or should they be able to seek financial support to do so? * Should a supply of the Ridge Tents still be kept for tent pitching competitions? * Should the Ridge Tent be the recognised standard and the Bell Tent and the nylon Dome Tents be used for major events only? THE QUEENSLAND RIDGE TENT (Also known historically as a Queenslander or Jamboree Tent) THE QUEENSLAND RIDGE TENT (Discussion Outcomes) Positives * Erecting these tents provides an opportunity for the whole patrol to work together. Scouts learn to work as a team. It is beneficial for Patrol bonding and is one of the best sources of training in team work. The erection of the ridge tent is a basic scouting skill. * The Ridge Tent has been a staple of Scouting in Australia for generations. It is a traditional element of our program.
