I hope this finds all of our volunteers and families doing well during this continued coronavirus pandemic! The good news for this month is: Christmas! As we begin to (finally) close this year down, I have started reflecting on what 2020 has reminded me to be mindful of in my life. Patience, resilience, kindness, hope, joy are just a few reminders given to me. In the toughest year that I can ever remember, there is still so much to be thankful for. I still have my dad, my kids, my sister, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends plus God still reigns! We have all had extra challenges in 2020 and I am thankful to be going through the scouting challenges with all of you amazing volunteers and my work family. Whatever happens, we will all be stronger for it! Peace and blessings over all of you and your families! Merry Christmas! Lots of events coming in 2021 so read all about it!

It has been a difficult year for everyone; however, here is a recap showing the advancements that were done throughout 2020 (as of October 31) - even through a pandemic! It shows a resilience that when the going gets tough, Scouting gets going! Congratulations to ALL of our Cub Scout Packs and ScoutsBSA troops!

It is meant to encourage excellence and continuous improvement in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA. The JTE standards are based on achievements the previous year or previous few years, both individually and for the creation of national standards. Due to the extraordinary circumstances occurring in 2020, benchmarking 2019 to 2020 at the district and council level is not constructive and similarly basing 2021 standards on 2020 for districts and councils is equally inappropriate. Many units, however, have largely adapted their programs to the challenges of 2020 so their members have continued to enjoy Scouting. For these reasons, the Journey to Excellence recognition program for districts and councils is discontinued immediately. The Unit level recognition program will continue, and recognition patches will be available for units.. Journey to Excellence for Districts and Councils also represents data which is important to help districts and councils. A new membership reporting tool is under development to aid districts and councils with key membership data including gender and ethnic inclusion. You will soon hear more about this. Unfortunately, the council and district JTE dashboard (dials) and finish line report require substantial manual compilation and data assessment each month. With the significant reduction in staff at the BSA National office, the staff support necessary to keep the dashboard current and helpful to you is simply not available. Consequently, it is necessary to decommission the JTE dashboard and finish line report effective September 18. We suggest that even if JTE recognition is not available, the JTE standards still represent a vision of good Scouting for Districts and Councils and can be used in strategic planning. Unit Recognition Revised unit criteria, due to the pandemic, is available at https://www.scouting.org/awards/journey-to- excellence/unit/2020-scorecards-english/ 2021 unit scorecards are available at https://www.scouting.org/awards/journey-to-excellence/unit/ We will be considering what assessment and/or recognition system will be most helpful to councils and districts for 2022 and beyond. It is very premature to speculate on what that might be. Questions can be directed to [email protected]. Thank you for all you do for Scouting and for your support of the Journey to Excellence program. 6 COUNCIL EVENTS WOODBADGE WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Wood Badge is designed to meet the advanced leadership needs of all Scouters, particularly unit level Scouters, such as Cub leaders, Scoutmasters and assistants, Venturing Crew Advisors, Committee Chairs and members. Additionally, Scouters serving at the district and council levels can achieve greater effectiveness through Wood Badge. To attend a Wood Badge course, individuals must: Be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America.

This revision updates some of the changes that have occurred in Scouting, revises outdated information, and provides new locations for camping and outdoor adventures.

Furthermore, such a broad focus makes The Council Guide more than just another patch identification guide – The Council Guide is also a resource for individuals wishing to record and learn about the history of Scouting through its memorabilia. ORGANIZATION Since The Council Guide includes a wide variety of issues, made in different shapes and sizes and for different purposes, it can be difficult to catalog these issues in a consistent way.

  • Blue Elk District Camporee 2005
    Golden Spread Council Boy Scouts of America National Youth Leadership Training Sunday June 3 – Friday June 8, 2018 Camp MK Brown, Mobeetie, Texas What is it? The National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) 6-day program integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the scouting experience to train young men and women to better serve their units when placed in leadership positions. Youth registered with the Boy Scouts of America, are at least 13 years of age (and have completed the eight grade), have earned the rank of First Class (Boy Scouts only), and have completed Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops or Crews, are eligible to participate. Here's a brief outline of what Scouts can expect to accomplish during this training: Day One: Communicating Well, Part I; Finding Your Vision, Part I. Day Two: Setting Your Goals; Preparing Your Plans. Day Three: Forming Your Team; Problem Solving; Leading EDGE Day Four: Teaching EDGE; Resolving Conflicts; Making Ethical Decisions. Day Five: Leading Yourself; Valuing People. Day Six: Finding Your Vision, Part II; Communicating Well, Part II; Creating A Future. Why? Leadership experiences can be frustrating and disappointing for a youth who lack the knowledge, skills and encouragement to fulfill their assignment. During NYLT, participants discover that leading themselves and others requires a vision--a picture of future success. Through presentations and positive experiences in goal setting, planning, and problem solving, participants learn how to set a clear course toward realizing their team and individual visions, and then how to visualize themselves in the center of those pictures of future success.
