Our organization has been charting a path upward and outward as our message of servant leadership is being carried out in words and actions by thousands of Arrowmen across the nation. 2011 helped chart this path as we completed the largest youth service project ever performed for the National Park Service, developed dozens of new resources for units, chapters, and lodges, and laid the groundwork for future improvements to our high adventure programs. But the work of the Order cannot be fully expressed through these national projects and initiatives. Our strongest resource and greatest success lies within each of our 300 lodges and 170,000 members. Our local support of councils and their camps, hands-on leadership development in the youth of Scouting, and contribution to retention of older Scouts remain our most robust and important activities. CONTENTS This document, though it gives an incredible glance at the strength of our programs in 2011, represents only the tip of the iceberg. The potential support our programs can provide to the Boy Scouts of America is essentially limitless, and only constrained by our own creativity and drive—as has been shown by the innovative approaches of lodges and chapters across the country. Take this report as a jumping-off point: the bulk of the impact that a local Order of the Arrow program can have on Arrowmen, Scouting, and the community is in your hands.

  • Youth Protection Frequently Asked Questions
    Youth Protection Frequently Asked Questions What is the Boy Scouts of America’s (BSA) commitment to Youth Protection? Nothing is more important to the BSA than the safety of our youth members. We believe that even one instance of child abuse is unacceptable, and we are outraged there have been times when our best efforts to protect youth were not enough and Scouts were abused. We sincerely apologize to victims and their families. The BSA is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our youth members. Youth protection requires sustained vigilance, and we work every day to protect children through mandatory policies and procedures at every level of our organization. We are also committed to continuous improvement in our approach to youth protection. What are the Boy Scouts of America’s Youth Protection policies? The BSA strives to prevent child abuse through comprehensive policies and procedures, which include the following safeguards to serve as barriers to abuse: Ongoing youth protection education for all volunteers, parents, and Scouts. A formal selection and screening process for adult leaders and staff that includes criminal background checks. A Volunteer Screening Database system to prevent the registration of individuals who do not meet the BSA’s standards due to known or suspected abuse or misconduct inside or outside the organization. Requiring two or more adult leaders be present with youth at all times Youth protection begins with you. All units, adult leaders, and youth members have a responsibility to enforce youth protection program policies. Our education and training programs are specifically designed to teach Scouts, parents, and adult volunteers to recognize, respond, and report abuse—in and out of Scouting.

We are truly excited that you and your family will be attending our event. Being a Cub Scout can be an incredible experience and Cub-O-Ree is one of the best opportunities to experience the adventures outdoors. For young Cub Scouts, this means multiple days of program and activities not otherwise accessible to this age group. Each year our Cub-o-Ree adjusts the games and activities to make the experience a unique one for all our families, first timers or returning participants. Cub-O-Ree is a great opportunity to develop memories that last a lifetime. A typical Cub-O-Ree will include a full weekend of camping, with games, archery, bb guns, campfire activities, and more! The mission of our Cub-O-Ree here at the Lawhorn Scouting Base is to provide Cub Scout with the opportunity to learn and practice new skills, make new friends, gain confidence in the outdoors, experience huge amounts of fun, and better prepare boys and girls to earn their Arrow of Light and continue on the Trail to Eagle into Scouts BSA. Our all-volunteer staff is very excited to have you visit Lawhorn Scouting Base and have worked very hard to prepare for your arrival. This dedicated group of volunteers looks forward each year to the excitement and fun of Cub-O-Ree! It is truly their favorite part of the spring; and we know you and your families will feel the same way about this unique experience.
