ISCA JOURNAL - SEPTEMBER 2016 3 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It has been a quiet time for ISCA these past several months - there have been no BIG events like a Jamboree or National OA Conference to get ready for and/or participate in. There has, however been a lot of work going on in the background concerning the OA Insignia Guide (OAIG), previously known as Blue Book or Blue Book 2.0, the CSI (Council Shoulder Insignia) Guidebook and the Camp Images Website as well as the ISCA website. Craig Leighty President After a lot of work by the ISCA OA Insignia Standards Committee, and the OA Insignia Steering Committee, we are nearing the final stages of releasing the new rules. Yes, we know that it has taken a lot longer than desired, but with the work being that has been done solely by volunteers, we feel that what is being developed will really benefit the hobby and it will have been well worth the wait. Please check the ISCA website (ScoutTrader.org) and the OA Insignia website (OAInsignia.com) for the latest details. But, a couple of points are worth mentioning – lodges will be updated (all of the issues over the last 10 years since Blue Book 6 was issued) and possibly the renumbering of issues going back as needed ONLY if a lodge editor has been appointed/approved to make the changes. So, if you are knowledgeable about a particular lodge’s issues, then volunteer to become a lodge editor (sign-up information and a listing of current editors is on the ISCA website). For the CSI Guidebook, we’re still trying to figure out if we can offer an electronic version or if the next release will only be a hardcopy update. We should have more information in the December Journal and/or on the ISCA website. There has been a lot of trade-o-rees this year already and there are a lot scheduled for this Fall. As mentioned in the last ISCA Journal, ISCA has decided to use the “bsator.com” website for Trade-o-ree listings and information. It’s a great website and allows you to search for trade- o-rees and in many cases, even sign up to go and/or reserve a table. You can also find a link to both ISCA and the ISCA Store on this website in addition to being able to access the ISCA Store through the ISCA website or eBay (ISCAOnlineStore). A while back, we announced that we had a free sample download of a Journal for non- members so that they could see what we were all about. It’s still there available on the ISCA website homepage, so please spread the word to non-members. And finally, we would like to congratulate Mr. Bill Loeble and recognize him as the 2016 recipient of the ISCA Scouting Memorabilia Distinguished Service Award. Bill has a long and distinguished career with over 60 years in Scouting. Congratulations, Bill, and don’t forget to read more about Bill’s distinguished career below. 2016 ISCA Distinguished Service Award The ISCA Board is pleased to announce that Bill Loeble is the 2016 receipent of the ISCA Distinguished Service Award. Bill began an uninterrupted Scouting trek over 60 years ago. In that time the trail led to Eagle Scout with ten palms and a total of 78 merit badges. Along the way he has received the following awards and recognitions – OA Vigil Honor, OA Founders Awards, OA Distinguished Service Award, Scouter’s Key, Woodbadge trained, James E. West Fellow, Distinguished Commissioner, God and Country (youth & adult), Philmont Master Track Award, Ph.D. in Commissioner Science, District Award of Merit, Silver Beaver, and Silver Antelope. His service to the Order of the Arrow includes Lodge Adviser for four years, Section Adviser for ten years, and Southern Region Chairman for five years.

The second occurred during the 60th Anniversary Celebration at Treasure Island Scout Camp. Arriving late, Brad and National Vice Chief Eddie Stumler stood in the back of the audience behind two young Arrowmen during the opening flag ceremony. Unnoticed by the two, Brad and Eddie overheard their conversation. They wanted to meet and talk with the national officers, but they remained unsure how to introduce themselves. As the two turned around following the ceremony, they recognized the national officers and became tongue-tied. Brad and Eddie quickly introduced themselves and engaged the two young Arrowmen in conversation. Brad realized that as a leader, people should not have to come to you; you should go to them, be approachable, and make them feel comfortable.

    Rep. Potvin Offered the Following Resolution: House Resolution No

    Rep. Potvin offered the following resolution: House Resolution No. 12. A resolution to declare February 8-14, 2015, as Boy Scout Week in the state of Michigan. Whereas, The members of the Michigan Legislature consider it a great privilege to celebrate this occasion and proudly extend tribute to all the leaders, parents, friends, family, and scouts who have made the Boy Scouts of America successful across our state. This organization has had a profound impact on countless lives in our state and nation; and Whereas, The scouting program was founded in 1907 by Robert Baden-Powell in Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, England, to encourage young men to develop personal goals and actively pursue their personal interests. In 1909, American journalist and publisher, William D. Boyce, lost his way in a dense London fog. A boy came to his aid and, after guiding the man, refused a tip, explaining that as a Scout he would not take a tip for doing a Good Turn. This gesture by the unknown Scout inspired Boyce to start Scouting in America; and Whereas, The Boy Scouts of America were incorporated on February 8, 1910, in New York City, received their federal charter as granted by the United States Congress in 1916, and celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2010. Since the Boy Scouts of America awarded the first Eagle Scout in 1912 to Arthur Eldred, over two and a quarter million scouts have been awarded the Eagle Scout rank. Every year, local packs, troops, and crews celebrate this rich history with Boy Scout Week; and Whereas, Today, the Scouting program represents the largest voluntary youth movement in the world, with approximately 195 countries having scout programs.
