Green Fall 2015 1 stlbsa.org Popcorn HE ANNUAL POPCORN SALE may end in a couple Tof weeks, but you still have time to sell! Selling popcorn is a great way to fund your unit’s annual program. Money raised by units have been used to cover the cost of badges and advancement, special events, and pack and troop equipment. Not only do units benefit from selling popcorn, but these sales also benefit the council by providing better programs and camping facilities. By selling popcorn, Scouts and Venturers: • have an opportunity to pay for their Scouting or Venturing program and earn their way to camp. • can earn cool rewards and even a college scholarship. • will gain confidence and learn important skills such as goal-setting, teamwork, and public speaking. • help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for their parents. The popcorn sale supports our Scouting program by reducing expenses for Scouting and Venturing families and providing funding for packs and troops to carry out their activities. No other fundraiser supports the entire council paying for needed camp equipment, resources, programs, training for leaders, and much more. popcorn.stlbsa.org Cub Scout Zack of Pack 20 sells popcorn door-to-door in his southeast Visit for more info, Missouri neighborhood during last year’s popcorn sale.

  • 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.

    Notes on Camp: A Decolonizing Strategy Amanda Shore NSCAD University 2015 Advisor: Dr. Carla Taunton Table of Contents Strategic Framework for Long-Term Decolonizing Initiatives 1 Core Values of Early Camp Programming 7 Propelling Change and Shifting a Collective Consciousness 17 Selected Bibliography 28 Strategic Framework for Long-Term Decolonizing Initiatives As a former camp counselor I recall with affection the exhausting and exhilarating days of my most fulfilling summers. By working in an outdoor classroom environment, I was able to develop unique, alternative approaches to teaching, and more importantly, I was able to learn invaluable lessons from bright and curious young people. I owe my skills in public speaking and, more importantly, in listening, to the campers who commanded my attention and taught me the value of quiet. I acknowledge my identity as a former camp staff member, an art history student, and a white Christian woman, and its impact on my research. As a settler Canadian woman I have participated in camp traditions which imitate, appropriate, and misrepresent Indigenous ceremonies, names, and cultural practices of dress and craft. I wish to acknowledge my experience as a camp educator as I sift through camp histories, acknowledging that I have been a beneficiary of and a participant in many such histories. I take ownership of my past participation in the colonial appropriation of Indigenous cultural practices, and I understand the privileged posture from which I stand as I pursue personal decolonization. I confront my participation in problematic camp traditions in response to Paulette Regan’s call to action for settler Canadians.
