Haddock: Friend, Brother, Leader During lunch Brad noticed Dr. Goodman giving him his undivided attention, making him feel as if he were the most important person in the world. 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.

  • 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.

    Let’s Go Camping Guide compiled by Amangamek-Wipit Lodge 470 Order of the Arrow National Capital Area Council May 2002 To: All NCAC Unit Leaders From: Amangamek-Wipit Camping Committee Subject: LET'S GO CAMPING GUIDE Date: May 2002 Greetings! This is your copy of the annual Let's Go Camping Guide. The National Capital Area Council Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge updates this guide annually. This guide is intended to support the unit camping program by providing leaders with a directory of nearby campgrounds. The guide is organized into three sections. Section I lists public campgrounds in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Section II covers campgrounds administered by the Boy Scouts of America in Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Section III provides a place for leaders to record their favorite campgrounds for future reference. Many people have provided listings to this year's edition of the guide and we are grateful to all who have contributed. However, this guide is far from a complete listing of the camping resources available to NCAC units. If you would like to add a listing or if you discover a listing in need of correction please contact Philip Caridi at your convenience at [email protected]. Together we can make next year's guide even more useful.
