  • BSA Religious Principles
    THE RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA SCOUTING IS YOUTH MINISTRY IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH The complex world of the 20th century, with its emphasis on instant answers and high technology, has had a devastating effect on our young people. Working mothers, single-parent families, and the difficulties of maintaining family life all add to the problem. The suicide rate among teenagers is the highest of any age group, and you will find drugs and alcohol prevalent even among preteens. It is no wonder that young people wander about in search of something to hang on to, someone to trust and in whom to confide. They have difficulty finding God, because there is no one to show them the way. How significant it is, therefore, that the latest revisions of the Boy Scout Handbook have restored the emphasis on duty to God in its pages. For, while the charter of the Boy Scouts of America has always had a religious principle, it was not always obvious to the individual youth in the unit. In recent years, as the Catholic Church developed its apostolate to youth more fully, it became known as youth ministry. Scouting is a significant part of this ministry. There is one particular aspect of Scouting that deserves special attention today, that is, Scouting has a tremendous potential for developing Christian leadership. Many of our youth today are struggling with an identity crisis and problems that growing up in these times often creates. Boys involved in the Scouting experience have a real advantage in coming to know themselves and attaining skills that will give direction to their lives.

  • 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.

  • Boy Scouts of America Western Los Angeles County Council Western E‐ T Rails Bringing You This Week in Scouting!
    Boy Scouts of America Western Los Angeles County Council Western E‐ T rails Bringing You This Week in Scouting! Editor: Romy Longwell Western Los Angeles County Council August 16, 2006 16525 Sherman Way, #C‐8 Van Nuys, CA 91406 (818) 933‐0103 Rlongwell@bsa‐la.org Scouting Brings Cross­Cultural Youth Experiences to the San Fernando Valley By David I. Karp What is the likelihood of a summer day camp program in the San Fernando Valley with participants in the same place at the same time from such diverse groups as Spanish­speaking Hispanic youth and religiously observant Jewish youth? Such a cross­cultural youth experience actually occurred in the Eastern San Fernando Valley in July 2006. This marvel was a part of the local programming of the Western Los Angeles County Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This Scout Council produces six week long Cub Scout Day Camps throughout Northern and Western Los Angeles County. Each provides the opportunity for the youth of diverse religious, ethnic and cultural groups to come together. In July in the East Valley, boys attended Cub Scout Day Camp from both the religious Jewish community of Valley Village and from the Spanish speaking Hispanic community of Pacoima and surrounding areas. These boys might never have crossed paths but for the Scouting program that put them together. Their backgrounds and cultures are worlds apart, yet they have Scouting in com­ mon: The religious Jewish boys are affiliated with the traditional Cub Scouting program, adjusted to accommodate the religious practices of Orthodox Judaism. The Hispanic youth are members of a new national Soccer & Scouting program recently launched locally by the Scout Council.

  • Module on History of Scouting
    MODULES 35 Module on History of Scouting Introduction Hi! Welcome to this wrap-around module on the HISTORY OF SCOUTING. As you turn the pages of the book Forty Years and Beyond: Asia-Pacific Scouting Since 1956, where this module is wrapped around, you will be transported to a different time, you will visit places you probably haven’t dreamed of before, and you will meet personages you probably have only heard about. Wouldn’t it be fine if you had knowledge of some of them? This Self-Instructional Module (SIM) entitled HISTORY OF SCOUTING has been designed to make Scout Leaders, trainers, and those interested in Scouting aware of the history and development of World Scouting, with particular emphasis on the Asia-Pacific Region. The delivery mode is “self-instructional,” which means that you will teach yourself at your pleasure—any time, any place, unless your Course Instructor designates a specific time for it in a training course. It’s a wrap-around module, which means that the module is done together with a book or reading material, in this case, the book Forty Years and Beyond— Asia-Pacific Scouting. Don’t worry, it’s not like other history books where you have to read long texts—this one is pictorial. There are two lessons in this Module: Lesson 1: How it All Began Lesson 2: Scouting Takes Roots in the Asia-Pacific Region Lesson 3: Our Country Makes Scouting History Each lesson has these parts: 1.Introduction 2.Instructions on how to use the module and the book, thereby maximizing your learning; 3.Checkpoint, a self-assessment test to determine the degree of your mastery of each lesson; 4.Quick Check, which contains the Answer Key for the Checkpoint (test) or the criteria for evaluating end-products; 5.Challenge, which contains activities to do to show achievement; 6.Sum It Up, a synthesis at the end of the Module to summarize what you have learned.

  • Suggested Presentation of Masonic Scouter Awards
    Suggested Presentation of Masonic Scouter Awards Masonic Official: Freemasonry is based on service, and the exemplification of moral truth, which is essential for good role models. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of America, created the Daniel Carter Beard Masonic Scouter Award as a national award program for Masons who exemplify the Scout Law and Masonic Virtues, in service to the Scouting Program. Masonic Official: In the late 1800’s, Daniel Carter Beard created a program called the “Boy Pioneers” that inspired Lord Robert Baden-Powell to create the Boy Scouts in England. The Boy Scout program came to the United States in 1910 when Dan Beard merged his organization into the Boy Scouts of America and became its first National Commissioner. A Master Mason in New York, Brother Dan Beard stands as a fine example of how a Mason can live a life of Masonic Service to mankind, by reaching out and working with youth in the local community. Masonic Official: The award consists of a Masonic medallion suspended from a blue and silver neck ribbon, which can be worn at any Masonic or Scout gathering, a certificate, and a traditional Scouting knot patch authorized by the Boy Scouts of America as the “Community Organization Award,” to be worn by Scouters above the left shirt pocket of the uniform. Masonic Official: Today, this presentation of the Daniel Carter Beard Masonic Scouter Award is being made to the following deserving (brother/brethren) who (was/were) nominated by (his/their) Lodge, approved by the local Scout Executive, and authorized by the Grand Lodge.
