Committee Enjoy our first Annual Report and Thank You for all you do. Barbara DeBaptiste Wilson Faude Walter Harrison Warmly, Arthur Lathrop Patricia Scussel Marsha Tolliver Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Wakeen Robert White Special Acknowledgement to Peggy Jerrell On behalf of all girls, volunteers, members and supporters of Girl Scouting in the state – Thank You Peggy! You demonstrated grace and professionalism at all times; honored the Girl Scout Promise and Law and proved to be an outstanding role model of leadership and courage for our girls. Leadership to the Power 5 was the theme for the Annual Report published in 2008. That theme spoke to the dedicated and courageous leadership that led to the formation of Girl Scouts of Connecticut. As is often the case when many leaders are involved in a major undertaking, there is usually a first among equals. You, Peggy Jerrell, as immediate past president, were just such a leader. Leading change during turbulent times takes a steady hand, a strong will and assured courage. You personified all of these qualities during our initial year as a statewide council. True leaders leave an organization in a better and stronger place than when they assumed the leadership role. Girl Scouts of Connecticut is better for your leadership. Girl Scouts of Connecticut – Our Journey Begins At the start of any Journey, a plan is made and a direction is chosen. The vision for our inaugural year was to be an empowering force for the personal growth and leadership development of girls. With this vision we developed three strategic objectives which included: Capacity Building - to build a sound infrastructure that attracts and retains resources available statewide to support the Girl Scout Mission and to provide a positive and consistent experience for all levels of girl and adult volunteers; Membership - to retain, broaden, and increase a diverse girl and adult membership reflective of the statewide population and shifting demographics; and Program - to provide a variety of appealing, quality programs at every level, consistently delivered statewide, that increase personal and leadership opportunities for girls.

  • Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
    Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

  • Wagggs Pin Ceremony
    WAGGGs Pin Ceremony Preparation: Print out the WAGGGS Pin and cut apart Print the blue background Print the template to build your pin upon Purchase WAGGGS pins for any girls receiving Don’t forget the camera To start: All participants stand in a horseshoe. Use a table to piece together the different pieces of a WAGGGS pin. Leader: The horseshoe formation symbolizes the open friendship circle. In the open end of the horseshoe stand our sister Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world. If they were actually here, our horseshoe would become a completed circle, having no beginning or end. [Then come a series of questions and answers, which you can divide up in any practical way. We had the people who asked the questions come forward to place the part of the pin they asked about on the felt board while someone else read the answer.] What is the world pin? It is the pin of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. We are going to construct such a pin. As we do, let us consider very carefully the reason for its color and design. Then we will know how deep a feeling of international friendship it can inspire in it. What does the gold circle around the edge stand for? The gold band surrounding our pin symbolizes the sun that shines on children all over the world. Why is the world pin blue? The blue background symbolizes the sky above us, all over the world. Why do we have a trefoil in the World pin? The gold trefoil is the sign of Girl Scouting and Girl Guiding around the world.

  • Conducting a Successful Eagle Scout Court of Honor
    Bay-Lakes Council Boy Scouts of America Conducting a Successful Eagle Scout Court of Honor Every Scout that achieves the rank of Eagle deserves special recognition. Prepared by the Bay-Lakes Council Advancement Committee Revised for 2010 Conducting a Successful Eagle Scout Court of Honor Forward This booklet is published by the Bay-Lakes Council Advancement Committee to assist the troop committee in planning a recognition ceremony appropriate for the achievement of the rank of Eagle Scout. We frequently refer to “The Eagle Court of Honor” book by Mark Ray. It is not an official publication of the Boy Scouts of America. However, Mr. Ray is an Eagle Scout, and his book is compiled from contributions from many, many Scouters. An order form is included in the back of this publication and the book is available at the Council Scout Shops. There are a few areas that the book does not adequately cover. This publication will hopefully address them. Keep in Mind that the purpose of an Eagle Scout Court of Honor is first, to honor the Scout. If the Court of Honor is executed well, it will inspire other Scouts to follow the adventurous and rewarding Eagle Scout trail. A dignified and meaningful Court of Honor will also show the community the result of the Scouting program, so they will direct other boys into the Scouting programs and support the movement.

  • Wojam Unlocked
    WoJam Unlocked The USA Contingent Official Newsletter Issue #2, June 2018 Let's Take A Walk Around The Jamboree! This virtual tour is brought to you by Mark Beese. Mark is a member of the Contingent Management Team and the International Representative for the Denver Area Council. Where does one begin to explain the massive program at the next World Scout Jamboree? If a circus has three rings, the 2019 World Scout Jamboree will have more than a dozen! Let's go for a virtual walk - scratch that, hike - around The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia to get an idea of what a typical day might look like at the 2019 WSJ. First, a disclaimer. The program is still developing and not everything here may be 100% accurate at the time of the Jambo, so be prepared for change! We're going on a virtual hike because this place is HUGE. I hope you are wearing a good (and waterproof) pair of boots, because we'll be walking about 10 miles (16 km) today. I'll meet you at your sub-camp HQ (the big white tent by your camp site). The Jamboree is really a city of 47,000 people camping in six basecamps with about four sub-camps per basecamp (a total of 19 sub-camps). If you do the math, that is about 2,500 Scouts per sub-camp. As we walk down the hill to the main program area, we pass units on their way to one of the many adventure experiences at the Summit.

    Jamborees are Great Spaces to Demonstrate our Diversity Message by Craig Turpie, Chairperson of the World Scout Committee on the Opening of the Virtual 8th Africa Scout Jamboree Dear friends and fellow Scouts, On the occasion of the 8th Africa Scout Jamboree, it gives me immense pleasure to send you the warmest greetings from the entire World Scout Committee and your fellow 57 million Scouts from all around the world. This Jamboree is the culmination of many months of planning, and I would like to thank and congratulate the many adult volunteers who have been so heavily involved in the preparations. In particular, I would like to thank the hosts Uganda Scouts Association for all their efforts, and by extension pay tribute to President Museveni, Patron of the Uganda Scouts Association for the work involved in protecting the forest at Kaazi Scout Camp and supporting the renovation of the facilities. I would also like to thank all National Scout Organizations across the great Africa Scout Region who have played their part in creating this unique virtual experience for so many Scouts. The programme for this 8th Africa Scout Jamboree really is exciting with great opportunities for patrols of Scouts across Africa to come together virtually and participate in cultural activities like Scouts got talent, music extravaganza and a cultural evening. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about Scouts for SDGs and Earth Tribe through Scouts go Solar and Plastic Tide Turners. There will be sessions on our Messengers of Peace initiative. Opportunities to learn more about really important topics including diversity and inclusion, adolescents and youth nutrition.

  • Paper on Scouting
    THE SCOUT ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA “SCOUTING: THE BEST WAY TO BRING UP GOOD LEADERS FOR OUR COUNTRY.” A PAPER PRESENTED BY OMODOT TIMOTHY UMOH ANHQC YOUTH (SOUTH-SOUTH) ON THE ONE DAY SEMINAR/ END OF YEAR GET TOGETHER AT STATE SECONDARY COMMERCIAL SCHOOL OKOP ETO, IKOT EKPENE, AKWA IBOM STATE. DECEMBER, 20 14 0 INTRODUCTION It is with joy that I stand here today to talk on this topic. I wish to thank the Almighty God, the creator of Heaven and Earth for his mercies upon our lives. I also thank the organizers of this educative programme for their innovative ideas to impact in the lives of these young scouts. When I was asked to present a paper on this day, I had encountered difficulties in choosing the topic before I finally arrived at this one “Scouting: The Best Way to Bring up Good Leaders for Our Country.” Which will correspond with the demand of the season, this, I mean the demand of choosing the next set of leaders in our different arms of Government (i.e the general elections). Scouting (or the Scout Movement) is a movement that aims to support young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups for boys (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) which is now divided into 4 groups (cub scout, boys scout, venture scouts and explorer scouts).

  • Book of Ceremonies
    Book of Ceremonies Girl Scouts – Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas 11311 Arcade Dr., Little Rock, AR 72212 800-632-6894 www.girlscoutsdiamonds.org Ceremonies A Girl Scout Tradition From the earliest times, women, men and children have held ceremonies to celebrate numerous events such as changes of seasons, births, victories, or deaths. In modern times, it is often our ceremonies and traditions that bind us together as a family or group. Ceremonies can bring meaning to life experiences and offer a means of self- expression. Girl Scouts also have ceremonies to mark special events throughout the year. Like other ceremonies, Girl Scout ceremonies can be planned on a grand scale to celebrate major transitions (such as awards, bridging, investitures, and end-of-year activities). Or they can be planned on a smaller scale to celebrate more frequent occurrences (such as the beginning or ending of a meeting, a campout, friendship, etc.). From the very beginning, Girl Scout ceremonies have been observed to reinforce values, pass on traditions and give life to the beliefs set down in the Promise and Law by highlighting accomplishments that illustrate a Girl Scout belief. Ceremonies also reinforce the Girl Scout heritage by reminding us of the contributions made by the women who nurtured the movement in its infancy and began so many of its traditions. These special rituals form a framework for today’s actions and provide inspiration for the future. The rich Girl Scout heritage of strong traditional values should be cherished and preserved. Many of the unique characteristics of our program are passed on from generation to generation-through beautiful and precious ceremonies.
