    THE EXPLORING EXPERIENCE a National Program-Outcomes Study Conducted by Louis Harris & Associates Introduction

    THE EXPLORING EXPERIENCE A National Program-Outcomes Study Conducted by Louis Harris & Associates Introduction Exploring is a part of the Learning for Life career educa- tion program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old.* Exploring exists to accomplish a major goal: To provide the structure and resources needed for the youth of America to learn about career opportunities, to make ethical choices, and to achieve their full potential as individuals. In May 1998, the results of a Learning for Life program evaluation were released in a booklet titled Character Building With Learning for Life. This research study, con- ducted by Syndics Research Corporation and Dr.Kevin Ryan of Boston University, found that elementary school–age youth who participated in Learning for Life scored higher than students who did not participate in Learning for Life on questions related to a variety of ethi- cal and moral issues covered in lessons. Additionally, after six months, teacher evaluations of student behavior indi- cated that students participating in Learning for Life exhibited better behavior than those who were not in the program. *This segment of the research focuses on the Exploring program of Learning for Life. It became an official program of Learning for Life on August 1, 1998. Before this date, Exploring and Venturing were com- bined in a single program. Venturing is now a separate part of Boy Scouts of America. 2 The Exploring Experience Although that study illustrated the effectiveness of the cha r a c t e r -building aspect of Learning for Life among ele- mentary-age youth (ages 6 to 12 years old), it did not address issues among young adults (ages 14 to 20) in the Exploring program.

    The Training Times Fall 2019

    The Training Times Fall 2019 NEW! District Committee Basic Training District committee training has been taught the same way for many years with a very dated course. By leveraging the BSA Learn Center, we can give the district committee a learning environment that provides them the content they need when they need it, and we can leverage professional training for consistency in district training. This new learning replaces the District Committee Workshop and will provide learning plans aligned with the various district committee positions and functions. Position-trained status (D61, D62, D75) will be provided for those who complete their training. Position training includes: District Committee Chair Activities and Civic Service Chair District Committee Vice Chair Nominating Chair Membership Chair Program Chair Fund Development Camping and Outdoor Chair Training Chair Advancement Chair Member at Large As the online training supersedes the District Committee Workshop, use of the District Committee Workshop syllabus for training should be discontinued.

Concurrent with my service to Scouting, I have been an avid collector of Scouting memorabilia with a particular interest in commissioner insignia. Over the years, I've acquired some information on the history of commissioner service and some documentation on various areas of commissioner insignia, but have not found a single document which covers both the historical aspects of such insignia while describing and identifying all the commissioner insignia in all program areas - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing, and the various roundtables. This project does that and provides a pictorial identification guide to all the insignia as well as other uniform badges that recognize commissioners for tenure or service.

    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.
