  • Simplified BSA Volunteer Position Descriptions Wood Badge Project by Kent Nuttall Version August 27, 2018
    Simplified BSA Volunteer Position Descriptions Wood Badge Project by Kent Nuttall Version August 27, 2018 Several Units and Districts struggle getting adults to volunteer especially for leadership positions. There are a variety of reasons for this struggle, including: • Parents today feel they are too busy to take on volunteer assignments • Parents asked perceive any Scout volunteer assignment will be too time consuming or is well above their ability • The current position descriptions spend undue focus on responsibilities, and look complex. This project focuses on simplifying position descriptions and changing their focus to highlight the few outputs expected along with resources that will help them succeed. Further support includes guidance for using the new position descriptions. FEEDBACK IS REQUESTED These are still in development. Please feel free to send feedback to [email protected]. Before using or sending feedback, read more about the position descriptions to understand the format and content provided. Using the Position Descriptions The position descriptions have the following design characteristics: • These are simple one-page descriptions that provide the essentials of the position. It is most helpful for asking volunteers to accept a position and in providing them their orientation. Over time, the leader will receive training and grow their skills beyond this simple description. • Instead of focusing on RESPONSIBILITIES, we’re focusing on the OUTPUTS we want to see. These are described in the table below. • Training, meetings, and resources are presented as those things that will help the leader succeed, not as a list of requirements. • They have been left as a Word file so you can modify them for your District or Unit.

This insightful grouping of materials highlights the tenures of former Chief Scout Executives James E. West, Joseph Brunton, Alden Barber, Harvey Price, J.L. Tarr, and Ben Love. Speeches and associated writings from Deputy Chief Scout Executive George Fisher are included, in addition to writings by national Presidents Irving Feist, Norton Clapp, Robert Reneker, Arch Monson Jr., and Downing B.

The content of the documents includes recorded minutes of National Council meetings, speeches given at local council meetings, dedication ceremonies, and tributes. There are also speeches Gerald Ford discussing the need for cooperation with the YMCA and similar organizations in order to better train and benefit the youth of America.

  • Commissioner Service, Our First Hundred Years
    COMMISSIONER SERVICE, OUR FIRST HUNDRED YEARS A research thesis submitted to the College College of Commissioner Science Longhorn Council In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree By Paul N Dreiseszun 2010 INTRODUCTION As we approach the 100th anniversary of Scouting and the Commissioner Service, we need to look back and salute those Scouters that have worn the insignia of the Commissioner. Scouting has changed in those many years. Requirements and uniforms have changed. Council structures and boundaries have been altered. But the role of the Commissioner as Scouting's conduit for unit service remains unchanged. I have been honored to serve as a Unit Commissioner, Assistant District Commissioner, and District Commissioner. My experience is that it can be the most difficult position in Scouting. But it can also be one of the most rewarding jobs in Scouting. As we reach Scouting's centennial, the Commissioner position is getting renewed emphasis and exposure. Funding for non-profits is getting harder to come by resulting in less growth of the professional staffs. The need for more volunteer Commissioners is as great or greater than any time in the past Our role in Scouting will continue to be fundamentally important for the next 100 years. As Commissioners, we must make sure that every unit is offering their boys exactly what is promised to them …, fun, excitement, adventure, and ultimately a quality experience. The Roots of Commissioner Service As Commissioners in the Boy Scouts of America, we are delegated authority and responsibility from the National Council through our "Commission" per the By Laws of the National Council.

  • District Realignment 01/01/2021
    Pathway to Adventure Council- District Realignment 01/01/2021 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. Why was it necessary for the District Realignment in PTAC? 2020 brought much change to Scouting at the National level, which filtered to the Council level. Funding, Membership, Retention and Programming were all severely impacted by COVID-19 safety precautions and preventative measures. It was an appropriate time to assess the staff responsibilities and assignments to serve our Scouts, their Units and their Districts. The District Realignment enabled PTAC to align staff with comparable assignments of youth served as well as territory covered since there were Districts without District Executives. It was critical that each District have a dedicated Professional Scouter assigned to assist with the District administration. 2. What does this mean to my local Scouting Unit? Local Scouting Units will continue to operate as usual. The District Realignment will affect the administration at the District level and above. Individual Units will continue their unit programming, planning, advancement and membership plans. The objective of the District Realignment was to provide our units the proper Professional and District Volunteer support for their success. 3. How do I know if my Scout unit is impacted by the District Realignment? There is a map which accompanies this FAQ on the PTAC website along with a list of all the units impacted by our realignment accompanies this FAQ. This chart lists the Unit Type-Number, Community Organization, Zip Code, Current District Name, Realigned District Name and New District Number. 4. What is the name of my Scouting District? By January 11, 2021, the names of the Districts will change to an assigned number.

The 2016 District extravaganza will be held on Saturday, March 5, at Living Savior Lutheran Church located at 5500 Ox Rd (Route 123) in Fairfax Station. Each Pack in the Patriot District is invited to register one Cub Scout in each of five rank categories, and in one of two event categories, that will enable their participation in either the Speed or Show competitions. Thus, up to 10 Cub Scouts per pack are invited and permitted to participate. The District Pinewood Derby is not an open event and all participants must be pre-registered by their Pack Committee. The registration fee for each participating Cub Scout is $10.00. A document containing the rules for 2016 and providing much additional information has recently been distributed to Pack leaders. The rules for 2016 are essentially unchanged from last year. If you have any questions, please contact Pete Griffiths, District Pinewood Derby chair, at (571) 424-0022, [email protected] . Information regarding this event can also be found on the Patriot District website: http://www.ncacbsa.org/Patriot/PinewoodDerby Registration and competition times for each of the six Cub Scout (Rank/Den) categories are given in the table below.
