  • The Rev. Thomas C. Jackson Alameda, CA
    The Rev. Thomas C. Jackson Alameda, CA Sunday, May 5, 2013 Dear Leaders of the Alameda Council: Soon Alameda Council President Toby Anderson and Commissioner Rick Lewis will had the opportunity to to vote for allowing gay boys to be full members of Boy Scout troops and speak in strong support for allowing gay and lesbian adults to serve as Scout leaders. As an individual who is an Eagle Scout, a former Scoutmaster, and a priest at Christ Episcopal Church here in Alameda, I call on you to support these changes. Until this change is made, we will not be able to support the Boy Scouts of America. Recently the leader of one of your packs asked if the Cub Scout group could relocate to our church. The congregation's governing board held a full and lively discussion on his request before deciding - by a large margin - that we could not host the pack without violating our pledge to live as a Christian community. For much of the discussion, I argued in support of letting the boys meet in our church. I thought back to my days as a Cub and Boy Scout: to the ways I benefited from campouts and hikes and merit badges and activities. But as parish leaders spoke, I realized that what I saw as a great program for boys is now a source of division that hurts rather than helps young men. Some of the strongest opposition to the pack came from parents who simply did not want their straight children to think excluding gay kids was ever acceptable.

ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN NEW MEXICO, COLORADO, AND UTAH By J. WALTER FEWKES (With 14 Plate's) INTRODUCTION During- the year 1916 the author spent five months in archeological investigations in New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah, three of these months being given to intensive work on the Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. An account of the result of the Mesa Verde work will appear in the Smithsonian Annual Report for 191 6, under the title " A Prehistoric Mesa Verde Pueblo and Its People." What was accomplished in June and October, 1916, before and after the work at the Mesa Verde, is here recorded. As archeological work in the Southwest progresses, it becomes more and more evident that we can not solve the many problems it presents until we know more about the general distribution of ruins, and the characteristic forms peculiar to different geographical locali- ties. Most of the results thus far accomplished are admirable, though Hmited to a few regions, while many extensive areas have as yet not been explored by the archeologist and the types of architecture peculiar to these unexplored areas remain unknown. Here we need a reconnoissance followed by intensive work to supplement what has already been done. The following pages contain an account of what might be called archeological scouting in New Mexico and Utah.

  • 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.
