Retaining Our Young Men in Scouting
Retaining our Young Men in Scouting A research thesis submitted to the College of Commissioner Science California Inland Empire Council Boy Scouts of America in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree by Craig Murray 2011 PREFACE I have served as a volunteer scouter for over 24 years, mainly as a Scoutmaster and Post/Crew Advisor. I have been fortunate in that I have been a leader at six scouting events in other countries: Brazil, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Austria and Great Britain. During each of these events, I took the time to understand scouting in the host countries, as well as in the countries visiting the events. Over those 24 years, I have observed scouting environments where scouts were motivated to stay involved in scouting, and I have also seen situations where they did not want to stay involved. From my experience and research, I have found that retention is greatest when young adults can retain peer relationships. This thesis will discuss senior scouting history, current problems, survey results taken in a 2011 Philmont Training Center course “Building Strong Packs, Troops, Teams and Crews” and proposed training. 1 Historical Background Even in the very early years of scouting, Baden-Powell (BP) came to realize that the scouting program should address the challenge of boys under 12 being interested in scouting but not being eligible to join, and boys over 16 leaving the program. Incorporating the younger boys into the program was reasonably easy in Great Britain. In 1916, BP started a Wolf Cub program. -

2019 Gold Medal Ceremony Program Book
The seals on the cover represent the two sides of The Congressional Award Medal. The Capitol Dome is surrounded by 50 stars, representing the states of the Union, and is bordered by the words, “Congressional Award.” Bordering the eagle are the words that best define the qualities found in those who have earned this honor, “Initiative – Service – Achievement” The Congressional Award Public Law 96-114, The Congressional Award Act 2019 Gold Medal Ceremony The Congress of the United States United States Capitol Washington, D.C. It is my honor and privilege to applaud the achievements of the recipients of the 2019 Congressional Award Gold Medal. These outstanding 538 young Americans have challenged themselves and made lasting contributions to local communities across this great nation. This is our largest class of Gold Medalists to date! The Gold Medal Ceremony is the culmination of a long journey for our awardees. For each participant the journey was unique, but one that likely included many highs and lows. The Congressional Award program was designed to instill a wide range of life skills and attributes that are necessary to navigate and overcome obstacles on the path to success - both in the classroom and beyond. And now that each young person has met these challenges and attained their goals, we hope they will continue to amaze and inspire us by pursuing their passions, utilizing their talents, and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to extend our great appreciation to our partner organizations and sponsors for their continued support. -
