Although many users may choose to only collect selected council items, The Council Guide aims to record all council insignia in order to present a more complete picture of a council’s issues. 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.

  • Where to Go Camping Guide
    WHERE TO GO CAMPING GUIDE Created By: Pachsegink Lodge #246 BSA Affairs Department May 2010 1 MAQUOKETA CAVES STATE PARK 10970 98th St. Maquoketa, IA 52060 563-652-5833 Reservations: 877-427-2757 Maquoketa Caves State Park has more caves than any other park in Iowa. There are over a dozen caves, although most of them are small, and require a bit of wriggling to explore. This is a great park to learn the basics of caving, and is appropriate for any age scout. The limestone caves and bluffs are very scenic, and the park has beautiful trails to hike, for those non- cavers. Dance Hall Cave is the largest cave in the park, and in most areas, you won’t even have to bend over to walk through this cave. (See photo on left) Some of the more fun caves, however, are the ones that are challenging to enter. The park also boasts a natural bridge, which spans across the canyon 50 feet above Raccoon Creek. Wye cave is also very large once you get past the entrance. It floods frequently, but when it is not flooded, it is one of the most cavernous caves in the park, and perfect for those scouts that love to explore. Directions from Council: Take Ogden west for 1.6 miles to I-294 north. Take I-294 north for 1.5 miles to I-88 west. Take I-88 west for 103 miles to Exit 36 toward US-30W/Clinton Continue to follow US-30W for 44 miles to US-61 north Take US-61 north for 21 miles to Exit 312A toward Cedar Rapids/Maquoketa Turn Left onto CR-Y31 and travel 6 miles to 98th St.

  • Neonicotinoid Seed Treatment Use in Iowa Scouting & Field History Reports for Early Season Corn and Soybean IPM
    Making Decisions About Neonicotinoid Seed Treatment Use in Iowa Scouting & Field History Reports for Early Season Corn and Soybean IPM 1 Neonicotinoid seed treatments may provide control of some early season corn and soybean pests. When practicing integrated pest management (IPM), a chemical control strategy like neonicotinoid seed treatments should only be used when there is a demonstrated need. Scouting and monitoring records can provide the evidence needed to justify use of an insecticidal seed treatment. This fact sheet provides guidance on 1) which corn and soybean pests may be targeted effectively with neonicotinoid seed treatments, 2) when scouting should occur to inform future decisions on use of neonicotinoid seed treatments, and 3) how to scout for these early season pests. NEONICOTINOID SEED TREATMENTS MAY BE USED FOR THE FOLLOWING PESTS: EARLY-SEASON INSECT PEST CORN SOYBEAN Bean leaf beetle X* Seedcorn maggot X* X* True white grubs X* X* Wireworms X* X* *Not a frequent economic pest in Iowa 2 Bean leaf beetle Soybean Bean leaf beetles infrequently cause significant economic early season soybean injury. Only in Scouting Tips to Inform Next Season fields with a history of both bean leaf beetles Seed Treatment Decisions: and bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) would neonicotinoid seed treatments be recommended • Scouting Timing (for beetles): Throughout for early-season suppression. Previous year growing season to verify presence of scouting records and field history reports that first generation (June and July) or second demonstrate the presence of both BPMV and generation (August and September) adult bean leaf beetle adults would verify a potential beetles.

  • Guide to Council Camps National Parks California
    GUIDE TO COUNCIL CAMPS NATIONAL PARKS CALIFORNIA PARKS ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SAN BERNARDINO PARKS 1 A Few Basics. As all American, I will do my best to . Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate ill the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. -The Outdoor Code, The Boy Scout Handbook, 1993 Edition, Page 55 The Outdoor Code is perhaps the most well-known and shortest statement of BSA outdoor policy. It can be expanded into six points that cover how your unit can have a 'low-impact' on your weekend car camping and backpacking outings: Pretrip Plans Wear Scout uniforms or other clothes that will blend into the surroundings. When picking camping equipment, such as tents, try to abide by the same rule. Pack food in containers that you'll carry home at the end of a trip. Take along (and use) trash bags. Plan to have 12 or fewer people staying in an individual campsite. Pick areas that are suited to the type of activity that you are planning. Using Trails Stay on the trail. Don't cut across switchbacks. Campsites Choose sites free of fragile plants. Camp out of sight of trails, streams, and lakes. Don't dig trenches around your tents or make any other unneeded holes. Fires Build fires only where appropriate and allowed. Try to get by with just propane stoves. Use existing fire rings instead of making new ones. Bring your own wood supply with you whenever possible. Open gathering may be prohibited. If you gather firewood, make sure you only burn small wood gathered from the ground.

Soybean aphids down in July Abstract Reports from extension field crops specialists across Iowa on July 24 indicate that soybean aphids have not reached the economic threshold of 250 aphids per plant in most fields. Soybean aphids can be found, but it appears that overall the populations range from just a few aphids per plant up to 30-50 per plant. There was a report of several fields being sprayed in northwest Iowa near Emmetsburg, but no aphid counts were given for these fields so the population size relative to the economic threshold is unknown.

We hope to expand this booklet regularly with more ideas and places to go. A large part of the Scouting program calls for new experiences in new places! A committee of the Order of the Arrow youth were selected, and under the guidance of the Lodge Executive Committee, developed this resource as a service to you. One of the major purposes of the Order is to promote Scout camping and to help strengthen the district and council camping year-round. This includes our Camp Decorah summer and winter programs, Camporees, Klondikes, Expos, High Adventure Bases and unit camping. Although not listed in this resource, another great place to take your unit includes county owned property. This is often available for little or no cost and can be arranged by contacting your local Park Department or County Forester. More information about nearby private and public facilities can be found at your local Chamber of Commerce. We want to thank you for keeping the “Outing” in Scouting.
