2002 Blackhawk Area Council Pow Wow.Pdf Dear Cub Leaders, Did you ever think that you would make such a difference in the life of a young boy, especially one that was not your own? But that is just what you are doing by being involved in the Cub Scout program. You may say, “I am not the den or pack leader, I just work on a committee or teach a craft, do I really make a difference?” The answer is a resounding YES! Yes, everybody that helps with the Cub Scouting program, no matter what your role is, has a positive and lasting influence on the life of some young scout. You are helping mold that scout in the early stages of his future. On his shoulders rests the future of our country and the world. Does this sound too grandiose? Remember that each of us started out with small steps. You are helping build his future one step at a time. Where that scout will go and what he will become we can only guess at, but his scouting experiences will forever be a part of what he is. I can think of nothing more wonderful and exciting than to be a part of the life of some young scout. The fact that you are involved in scouting shows that you deeply care about our youth and their future. On behalf of the board and myself, I thank you for continuing to “reach out and touch the future”. John E. Inman President Blackhawk Area Council November 9, 2002 Dear Scout Leader, Thank you for sharing your day with us. We know that you could have taken this day to do hundreds of other things. The fact that you are taking the time out of your busy lives indicates that you are truly dedicated to the Scouting movement. What you learn today (and at other training opportunities) will ultimately influence the lives of the boys that you work with. Pow Wow gives you a chance to meet new friends, see old acquaintances, learn new skills, and have a deeper sense of being a part of the Scouting movement. Enjoy this training event. Learn from those around you. Ask questions of others. Take your experiences back to your Scouts. We would like to thank all of the dedicated volunteers that are a part of this Pow Wow. Thanks to all of the session leaders and support personnel that have worked countless hours preparing for this day. In addition to preparing for their sessions, many of the session leaders also made contributions to the Pow Wow book. Special thanks to Dave and Genny Deutsch for putting together the Pow Wow book itself. This is no easy task and took many, many hours. All of these dedicated volunteers are to be commended for their gifts of time and talent. Enjoy the time you spend with the boys! These are times that few ever experience. Every moment a boy spends in Scouting has a positive influence on him (even if he doesn’t realize it). Come to think of it, it probably has a positive influence on you, too! Have a great time today. May the Great Spirit of Scouting be with you until we meet again. Yours in Scouting, Gail Krec and Carol Conderman Blackhawk Area Council Co-chairman - Pow Wow 2002 Dear Scouters, I hope you find this book helpful in giving a quality program to the youth in your charge. It is chock full of some great material. Please take some time to become familiar with the various sections & their contents. Then when your looking for that special game, skit or song you’ll remember where you saw it. The sections are laid out alphabetically by type of material. See the index that follows. A special thanks goes out to those Session Leaders who contributed material for this book.

This is the biggest celebration of the year for Cubs. It honors Cub Scouting's birthday in Cub Scout colors. This is a time for a Cub to shine in front of his family, friends and peers. These guests are present to see the Cub receive advancements, awards and recognition. The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1920, and in 1930, the Cub Scout program followed. Cub Scouting's Anniversary is honored each February with a Blue and Gold celebration deriving its name from the Cub Scout colors. This celebration is a special time for the boys and families of Cub Scouting. Blue and Gold banquets offer family involvement and show the principles of Scouting at its best. There is much advance preparation and planning for the success of a Blue and Gold banquet. It is recommended that special committees be formed and begin working on the banquet details as early as October or November. The committees should report to the Pack Committee at regular monthly meetings. Each phase of the banquet needs approval. Involve as many people as possible. This is a great way to involve families of the Cubs. They can help in decorations, menus, and set-up the day of the banquet. This will help to lighten the load of the leaders, since their main responsibility is working with the Cubs and their dens. Remember to invite your Tiger Cubs! The Blue and Gold banquets will provide them a chance to see the older boys in action. They will be energized to the applause around them as Cubs receive their awards and become impatient to receive their own. In Summary The annual Blue and Gold banquet should be a "night to remember" for both boys and their families. Careful, advance planning will ensure this. Make this activity a highlight of the Pack's program year. Steps to Planning A Blue and Gold Banquet Who Plans All This Stuff, Anyway? A banquet chairman is recruited (or appointed) by the Pack Committee.

We are all navigating through unchartered waters, and the units/Districts/Council should be comforted knowing that we are here to help and support them.

  • Girl Scout Ceremonies Flag Ceremonies
    Girl Scout Ceremonies These are ideas created and shared online and in other ways by other leaders. I have tweaked some to reflect changes in the Girl Scout Program, others will reflect more of the “old ways” and older language. Don’t feel like you need to use these verbatim. Take what works, and then modify it as you need to. Use these as ideas to create your own ceremonies. Think outside the box when it comes to supplies for your ceremonies. You don’t have to spend a bunch of money or have elaborate themes or props to give your girls and their families a meaningful experience. Also, don’t feel like you are tied to the category that someone placed these ceremonies into – just because a ceremony says it’s a “Bridging for Daisies to Brownies” doesn’t mean that’s the only way you can use the ideas. Make it work for you and your troop! Flag Ceremonies These are the basic Flag Ceremony commands. There are many versions & other commands that can be added. Do what you feel works for your group. These are just suggestions. We always have a caller & an even number of girls for the color guard. When raising the flag up a "real" pole (one with a rope & pulley system) it usually takes two girls to do the actual raising. Caller commands: Please stand Girl Scouts Attention Color Guard Attention Color Guard Advance Color Guard Post the Colors Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance All recite Pledge Please join me in the Girl Scout Promise All say Promise Color Guard Dismissed Girl Scouts Dismissed Please be seated Flags---multiple levels Opening: Quiet Sign [Daisy Girl Scout Flag enters, carried by a Daisy Girl Scout] Narrator #1: "I am the Daisy Girl Scout Flag.

Filipu Krejčímu, Ph.D., za jeho odborné vedení při vypracovávání této diplomové práce. Dále si cením pomoci studentů Katedry asijských studií univerzity Palackého a členů české k-pop komunity, kteří mi pomohli se zpracováním tohoto tématu. Děkuji jim za jejich profesionální přístup, rady a celkovou pomoc s tímto tématem. Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem diplomovou práci vypracovala samostatně s použitím uvedené literatury a dalších informačních zdrojů. V Olomouci dne Podpis Anotace Práce se zabývá hudebním žánrem k-pop, historií jeho vzniku, umělci, jejich rozvojem, a celkovým vlivem žánru na společnost. Snaží se přiblížit tento styl, který obsahuje řadu hudebních, tanečních a kulturních směrů, široké veřejnosti. Mimo samotnou podobu a historii k-popu se práce věnuje i temným stránkám tohoto fenoménu. V závislosti na dostupnosti literárních a internetových zdrojů zpracovává historii žánru od jeho vzniku až do roku 2020, spolu s tvorbou a úspěchy jihokorejských umělců. Součástí práce je i zpracování dvou dotazníků. Jeden zpracovává názor české veřejnosti na k-pop, druhý byl mířený na českou k-pop komunitu a její myšlenky ohledně tohoto žánru.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 133 MARCH 29TH, 2021 Copper has a new look! So does the rest of the PS Audio website, the result of countless hours of hard work. There's more functionality and easier access to articles, and additional developments will come. There will be some temporary glitches and some tweaks required – like high-end audio systems, magazines sometimes need tweaking too – but overall, we're excited to provide a better and more enjoyable reading experience. I now hand over the column to our esteemed Larry Schenbeck: Dear Copper Colleagues and Readers, Frank has graciously asked if I’d like to share a word or two about my intention to stop writing Too Much Tchaikovsky. So: thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it – I wrote it for you. If you added comments occasionally, you made my day. I also wrote the column so I could keep learning, especially about emerging creatives and performers in classical music. Getting the chance to stumble upon something new and nourishing had sustained me in the academic world – it certainly wasn’t the money! – and I was grateful to continue that in Copper. So why stop? Because, as they say, there is a season. It has become considerably harder for me to stumble upon truly fresh sounds and then write freshly thereon. Here I am tempted to quote Douglas Adams or Satchel Paige, who both knew how to deliver an exit line. But I’ll just say (since Frank has promised to leave the light on), goodbye for now. The door is open, Larry, and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contributions.
