Karen introduced the campus to 2D bar coding. It is a technology that allows a mobile device user to scan a bar- code with their phone and connect to digital content. Art exhibits on campus currently use the bar coding system, allowing guests to view short bios on artists along with statements about their artwork. Admissions Counselor, Shelley Parnell will be quick to tell you there are more uses for mobile learning than the class- room. LCU is developing campus tours using 2D barcodes. We have heard from visitors who were on campus outside of regular business hours when they were not able to enter locked buildings. With a quick scan, visitors can now watch a short video tour with narration. Barcodes are printed at the end of the article so they can download the free app and give it a try. Clearly we are in the information age and must continue to develop and adjust in ways that serve our mission.

  • Firearms, Freedom and the American Experience Annual
    2015 Annual REPORT Firearms, Freedom and the American Experience MESSAGE From the President is an honor to present to you The NRA Foundation’s Annual Report for 2015. Our thanks go to you IT and your generous commitment to support The Foundation’s activities. Grants awarded to qualified programs from The NRA Foundation totaled $33.5 in 2015 and now exceed $300 million in funding since inception through more than 38,000 grants in support of the shooting sports. Funds raised by Friends of NRA continue to provide resources for expansion, growth and development of eligible programs at the local, state and national levels. A high priority of The NRA Foundation is its support of public educational programs across America. The NRA Foundation is committed to working together in planning for the future of the shooting sports and standing behind our country’s traditions. To that end, I would like to offer a special thank you to the gun collecting community. Collectors play a vital role in preserving our history and the American culture of freedom. As stated by NRA President and distinguished firearms collector, Allan Cors: “Whether it’s hunting, competitive shooting, or gun collecting, when you introduce someone new to the activities we enjoy, you’re giving firearms and the freedom to own them a new ally, shareholder and believer. That helps the NRA, but more importantly, it secures the freedoms the NRA fights for.” The Foundation is proud of its role in funding support for thousands of eligible programs in communities across the country, and without you our success would not be possible.

Camping and the outdoor program is an important aspect of Scouting. Scouting strives to build character, citizenship, and fitness. When scouts go camping, this growth just seems to follow. Patrol and troop camping are models and a testing ground for life in society where each scout learns to accept responsibility and to exercise good judgment. Camping contributes to the interaction among fellow scouts in positive and supportive ways since Scouts who camp will soon come face to face with practical applications of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

The Boy Scouts of America was building its first-ever National Scout Jamboree site in Washington, D.C. It was, by all indications, going to be an epic event. But a “serious epidemic of infantile paralysis” — polio — had other plans. The Jamboree was postponed. On the occasion, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been scheduled to host an event on the White House lawn, took to the radio waves to send a message of resolve and courage to Scouts around the country. Much of the nation listened on their tabletop radio. His message recognized the resilient nature of Scouting: When you go out into life, you have come to understand that the individual in your community who always says, “I can’t” or “I won’t” or “I don’t,” the individual who, by Scott Sorrells inaction or by opposition, slows up honest, practical, far- National Commissioner seeing community effort, is the fellow who is holding back civilization. … We need more Scouts.
