General Hobbies' Step Provides a Basic Knowledge of the Wide Variety of Hobbies and Types of Hobbies That Exist v,JOODlANos GeneralG I Hobbiesob . Hobbies Branch Step 1 Purpose The 'General Hobbies' Step provides a basic knowledge of the wide variety of hobbies and types of hobbies that exist. Upon completion of this step Trailmen should understand what a hobby is and become exposed to new hobby ideas they may find interesting. This step identifies the remaining steps for this branch based upon the collective interest of the patrol. 1) What is a hobby? 2) What are some different types (categories) of hobbies? 3) What are several examples of hobbies from each category (Indoor, Outdoor, Collection, Competition, & Observation)? 4) What two (2) hobbies does your patrol wish to explore at future meetings? 5) What one (1) hobby does your patrol wish to explore on a Hit the Trail? Notes to the Trail Guide ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 1. The goal is not for the boys to be experts at these hobbies, but to gain an increased exposure, knowledge, and awareness of the different hobbies that exist. 2. Make it relative to your patrol. 3. Because the Hobbies branch is a bit unique in that it is nearly entirely elective, you may choose to repeat the same hobbies and build progressively from Fox to Hawk and from Hawk to Mountain Lion, OR you may decide to choose different hobbies for each level that best matches their interests. 4. See the Leaders Guide for more information on Steps. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Trail Life USA | Woodlands Trail 2.0 | Hobbies Branch – Step 1 | General Hobbies | 2 0 1 7 0 7 0 9 21 | 1 TRAILUFEUSA Skills Progression 1.

Encourage the boys to pick a hobby to explore that they have not previously participated in 1. Put the brainstorming on the boys to develop a large list of hobbies 2. Pick some hobbies off the list that they may not have thought of. 3. Encourage exploration of hobbies that may develop skills that would be useful in other aspects of life and later in Trail Life.

Activity Ideas When picking hobbies to explore, have everyone present to the group about their favorite hobby and why it is their favorite. Trail Guides can bring in some items from their favorite hobbies to show the patrol. Game Ideas This General Hobbies Step is intended to be kept short so that the majority of the meeting time can be spent actually learning about the chosen hobbies. Scripture 1 Corinthians 10:31 Fox God wants us to do our best. Hawk We should spend our time on things that glorify God. Mt Lion God gives us talents, time, and resources. We should use them to the best of our ability to glorify Him. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Fox God wants us to do our best. Hawk You only live once so give it your all. Mt Lion God gives us one life to make a choice to follow him or follow sin. We should passionately follow Christ. Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 Fox God wants us find enjoyment in life. Trail Life USA | Woodlands Trail 2.0 | Hobbies Branch - Step 1 1 | General Hobbies | 2017070921 | 4 TRAILUFEUSA Hawk We will find more enjoyment in the long run by choosing activities and actions that please God. Mt Lion When we seek to honor God, we will find peace and enjoyment, while those that seek sin will struggle. Ecclesiastes 3:1 Fox There is a time for work, play, rest, and worship. Hawk - Hobbies are intended for spare time and shouldn't take away from responsibilities. Mt Lion Hobbies can develop into addictions and begin to consume one's life. We must prioritize our time and resources. Copyright © 2017 by Trail Life USA. All rights reserved.

Necessary Resources ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////// /////// ////// Two Ropes (for Fun Activity) Necessary Equipment Based on Chosen Hobby Trail Life USA | Woodlands Trail 2.0 | Hobbies Branch | General Hobbies | 20170830 | 1 TRAIL LIFE USA FUN ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Jump the Creek To play, you have to set up the creek. You do this by placing two jump ropes, on the ground, about a foot apart. Players take turns trying to jump over the creek. If they land on or in the middle of the jump rope-the creek­ they're out. When everyone has jumped once, move the ropes about another foot apart. The person who is able to jump the farthest without falling into the creek is the winner. Trail Life USA | Woodlands Trail 2.0 | Hobbies Branch | General Hobbies | 20170830 | 2 TRAIL LIFE USA FOCUS ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// List of Hobbies What do you like to do? Have everyone name something they like to do in their free time. Look at a list of hobbies (one is provided in the Helps document). Have the Trailmen point out the ones they have heard of. You may find that somethings you did already are actually hobbies! Hobby Categories Discuss how having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person and gives you something to talk about with other. Hobbies help you avoid feeling bored. Learning something new is always good for keeping your mind and body active. Discuss inside hobbies and outside hobbies. Explain that it is okay to have different hobbies, multiple hobbies and that one should always follow safety rules when participating in any hobby. Learn a Hobby Today's discussion is about the value of finding an interesting hobby. A hobby is a good way to challenge your mind while you are having fun. You can also connect with others interested in your same hobby, which will build your social and life skills. Discuss the basics of your chosen hobby. You may also consider presenting a few different options for the Trailmen to choose from. You can conduct an interest survey at a prior meeting, or find several adults to help you divide the Patrol up based on interests the night of your meeting. Trail Life USA | Woodlands Trail 2.0 | Hobbies Branch | General Hobbies | 20170830 | 3 TRAIL LIFE USA FINGERS ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Try a New Hobby Have the Trailmen pick a hobby that they want to explore at this meeting beforehand. Encourage them to choose one that they have not tried before. There is a list of hobbies in the Help document, but you may choose any hobby you like. Provide the necessary materials, or have each boy bring his own materials, depending upon the hobby. Do your Hobby Give the Trailmen the necessary supplies for their hobbies and allow them time to explore their selected interests.

WELCOME… Dear Collector, Coins reflect the culture and the times in which they were produced, and U.S. coins tell the story of America in a way that no other artifact can. Why? Because they have been used since the nation’s beginnings. Pathfinders and trendsetters – Benjamin Franklin, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe – you, your parents and grandparents have all used coins. When you hold one in your hand, you’re holding a tangible link to the past. David M. Sundman, You can travel back to colonial America LCC President with a large cent, the Civil War with a two-cent piece, or to the beginning of America’s involvement in WWI with a Mercury dime. Every U.S. coin is an enduring legacy from our nation’s past! Have a plan for your collection When many collectors begin, they may want to collect everything, because all different coin types fascinate them. But, after gaining more knowledge and experience, they usually find that it’s good to have a plan and a focus for what they want to collect.

  • 2021 Outdoor Participation Trends Report Table of Contents
    2021 OUTDOOR PARTICIPATION TRENDS REPORT TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Outdoor Participant Diversity The Next A Detailed Methodology Summary Participation Profile Generation Look Snapshot EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2020, 53 percent of Americans ages 6 and over participated in outdoor recreation at least once, the highest participation rate on record. As the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged communities and forced a nationwide shutdown, outdoor spaces became places of refuge to safely socialize, improve physical and mental health, connect with family and recover from screen fatigue. Remarkably, 7.1 million more Americans participated in outdoor recreation in 2020 than in the year prior. Despite these gains, nearly half of the U.S. population did not share in the proven, positive health outcomes of outdoor physical activity. COVID-19 inspired huge TERMINOLOGY participation growth, as detailed throughout this report.

  • The Creative Economy of Houston
    JULY 2012 THECREATIVE ECONOMY OF HOUSTON A comprehensive sTUDY OF creaTIVE-SECTor INDUStrieS and their IMPACT ON THE HOUSTON ECONOMY Commissioned by Houston Arts Alliance and University of Houston in partnership with Greater Houston Partnership Data and Analysis by EMSI Thank you to all of the many thoughtful participants in bringing this study to a reality. Nearly three years WELCOME LETTER ago, Houston Arts Alliance and University of Houston convened a group of creative, academic and policy leaders to discuss the broad creative sector in Houston. A few preliminary take-aways have informed the work since then. Among them is the sense that the delineation between the for-profit creative sectors and the non-profit arts is now highly porous. Artists and other creatives move fluidly between work in major arts institutions, community-based organizations, film, design and other creative endeavors. The “arts” today are about creative expression and creative experience, and don’t fall neatly within for-profit and non-profit parameters. We need to shift the perception from the arts as a quality of life attraction for a well-qualified workforce, to the creative sectors as a tremendously powerful component of the economy unto itself. I believe this study reflects these early ideas. This is a conservative study. By design, we asked our colleagues at EMSI to mirror the study as much as possible to successful studies in other major US cities, but to tailor it to Houston. The result are findings that are defendable, easy to grasp, and are presented within the context of Houston’s job sectors.
