SPRING MEMBERSHIP WORKSHOP – “Recruiting Tiger Cubs” April 28, 2016 7:30 PM Trinity Lutheran Church, 170 Old Westford Rd, Chelmsford Cub Packs across the country are very successful at recruiting new Tiger Cubs in the spring. A few Packs in our District have also had excellent results. The Spring Membership Workshop will share the ideas and techniques that will make your Pack stronger by getting a full Tiger Den with engaged parents. There will continue to be a Fall Membership Workshop in August that will give tips on how to recruit at every level of Cub Scouts at the start of the school year. Every Pack is strongly encouraged to send at least one leader to these informative workshops. Klondike Derby The lack of snow did not deter 21 Troops from throughout the West Wind District from showing up to the Ice and Fire Klondike Derby on January 30. Many of the units pitched their tents and sleep out the night before the start of all the activities. Sled of all kinds of designs, many fitted with wheels, spent the day navigating around the Pond in Westford, stopping along the way to show their skills at various challenges. Well over 300 scouts were at this event. Congratulations to all who attended! Youth Leadership Training Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST) or ILSC for Crews See: http://www.scouting.org/Training/Youth.aspx This training is led by the Scoutmaster / Advisor with the Senior Patrol Leader / Crew President. It should be conducted periodically for the unit’s youth leadership team. It consists of three modules: 1.) Introduction to Leadership (Know), 2.) How to Fulfill Your Role (Be) and 3.) What is Expected of Me (Do). The purpose of this course is to teach Scouts with leadership positions about their new roles and how to most effectively reach success in that role. It is intended to help Scouts in leadership positions understand their responsibilities and to equip them with organizational and leadership skills to fulfill those responsibilities. ILST is the first course in the series of leadership training offered to Boy Scouts. Completion of ILST is a prerequisite for Boy Scouts to participate in the more advanced leadership courses National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) and the National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE). It is also required to participate in a Kodiak Challenge Trek. National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) for troops and crew youth leadership development It is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members (13 – 20 year old) with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops/crews and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others. NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting. NYLT integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give them the skill and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range of activities, games, and adventures, participants will work and play together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer. Two courses of NYLT will be offered by the Spirit of Adventure Council at TL Storer Scout Reservation (WildGoose), Barnstead, NH. Register and pay in full before June 1 to get the early bird discount. Course 1, July 10 – 15 (Course Director Darren Valentine, [email protected], 617-365-3777) Course 2, July 31 – August 6 (Course Director Chris Gross, [email protected], 617-592-2395) Brownsea II Leadership Training Program for troops It is a unique and exciting, hands on approach designed to teach youth leadership skills through the actual practice and use of Scout skills. Skills most closely concentrated on are camping, cooking, hiking, nature study, pioneering, orienteering, and wilderness survival. This course closely parallels the first scout camp conducted by Lord Baden Powell in 1907. This program places special emphasis on Scout skills, teaching and practice; the purposes of Scouting; and the role of the patrol method within the troop program. It is not done by classroom lecture, but rather by games of skill, leadership exercise, and patrol competition. Scouts who complete the program will have a better awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses for their personal leadership styles. One course will be offered by the Spirit of Adventure Council at TL Storer Scout Reservation (WildGoose), Barnstead, NH. Sunday July 3, 2016 (12:00 Noon) through Saturday July 9, 2016 (10:00 am) (Course Scoutmaster Ken Reardon, [email protected]). Register and pay in full before June 1 to get the early bird discount.

  • 2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information
    2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information (Patrol Leaders, Unit Leaders and station staff should read and know before the event. Be aware changes have been made since last year.) The Klondike Derby is a test of scout skills and of the patrol method. If your troop routinely practices traditional scout skills and is “scout-led”, you’ll find nothing unfamiliar with what is expected of you to score well. No matter your score, your participation in this event will help make you a better troop and will strengthen the bonds that make good patrols. Ideally, scouts will learn their strengths and weaknesses and have a fun weekend. We are very proud of all our participants. CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS: Senior patrols have been eliminated in favor of a rank handicapping system. In previous years, patrols of higher ranking scouts were segregated into a “senior” division. However, they still completed the same challenges as “regular” patrols at all stations, and typically only a very small number of patrols were identified as a senior patrol. This year all patrols will be handicapped based on the ranks of patrol members, which will level the playing field for all patrols. Details of the handicapping system are described in the scoring section below. Patrols should be “natural” patrols as much as possible; if natural patrols need to be merged to crew a Klondike sled, efforts should be made to average out ranks as much as possible. Troops must submit a patrol roster including each scout’s rank at registration, at which time the patrol’s handicap will be determined.

  • Scoutspeak 101 November 2020
    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board. November 20, 2020 Page 1 of 16 Council Support The thinking here is that Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members.

  • Boy Scout Troop 353 – Eastchester, NY Westchester – Putnam Council
    Boy Scout Troop 353 – Eastchester, NY Westchester – Putnam Council http://troop353.wordpress.com www.wpcbsa.org Why join Boy Scout Troop 353 Eastchester? That is a very good question! The short answer is that you are likely to have more FUN than you could ever imagine! Troop 353 has an active and varied outdoor 12-month program, including white water rafting, canoeing & kayaking, camping, hiking, rock climbing, snow skiing, biking, fishing (even ice fishing), swimming, rifle shooting, etc. At age 14, Troop 353 scouts have a history of going to some of the most exciting high-adventure trips you can imagine: island camping & fishing in the Florida Keys, Backpacking in the Adirondacks or in the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico. Check out the listing of our troop's activities on the next page!! Contrary to popular belief, our unique outdoor program typically attracts active boys with multiple interests (sports, music, etc.). Scouts are often captains of their sports team or school bands. With so many recreational choices today, there have to be some very good reasons for already busy boys and their parents to join our troop and keep coming back each week. The Bottom Line = unlike so many other units, Troop 353 continues to be blessed with solid membership growth . Some of the key reasons boys and parents choose troop 353 over others include: 1) FUN! Importantly, we have a truly unique & diverse scouting program which the boys plan and enjoy thoroughly. Our summer camp experience is thoughtfully designed to be truly rare among all troops in that a special activity is planned for every afternoon, which often entails leaving camp.

  • Northern New Jersey Eagle Scout Soars with the Historic U.S. Army's
    Northern New Jersey Eagle Scout Soars with the Historic U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal Civil Air Patrol Squadron Ned Caffarra of Livingston’s Troop 16 is Awarded His Eagle Rank with Military Honors NORTHERN NEW JERSEY – July 7th, 2009 – Attaining the rank of Eagle is a daunting achievement in itself, but this New Jersey teenager has soared past his Eagle requirements while also rising in command as a Cadet officer in one of the most prestigious U.S. Civil Air Patrol squadrons in the country. Picatinny Arsenal is the U.S. Army’s premier Armament Research & Development center, and its legendary CAP unit has served the base’s families, soldiers, and surrounding civilian community for over 36 years. This new Eagle leads the way by example and hard work. Col. Russell Hrdy, U.S. Army. Picatinny, USMA’81, Eagle Scout ‘76 On June 14th, Ned Caffarra became an Eagle Scout with bronze palm in a Court-of-Honor featuring Congressman Rodney P. Frelinghuysen (NJ 11th District) and Colonel Russell J. Hrdy (U.S. Army) as the keynote speakers. The unique Eagle ceremony was attended by over 160 uniformed and civilian personnel who came to honor the scout’s leadership and community-based accomplishments. Ned’s consistent record of volunteer service in both the Boy Scouts of America and in the United States Air Force Auxiliary was soundly recognized. Ned Caffarra has been immersed in the BSA's National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) team at the Northern New Jersey Council’s Camp Turrell for the past three years, and has been repeatedly recognized for advanced scouting and leadership skills throughout his career.
