NEW BOY SCOUT RANK REQUIREMENTS The National Youth Protection Committee recommended additions to Boy Scout rank requirements that were approved and will become effective January 1, 2008. These changes will help us advance the importance of Youth Protection training beyond the initial Boy Scout joining requirements, and keep youth informed and actively engaged in understanding the key elements of personal safety and protection.

Tenderfoot Rank Revised requirement 9: Explain the importance of the buddy system as it relates to your personal safety on outings and in your neighborhood. Describe what a bully is and how you should respond to one.

Second Class Rank New requirement 8b: Explain the three R’s of personal safety and protection.

First Class Rank New requirement 12: Describe the three things you should avoid doing related to use of the Internet. Describe a cyber-bully and how you should respond to one.

The changes will be represented in the 2008 Boy Scout Requirements book and the revised ninth printing of the 11th edition of the Boy Scout Handbook

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PAID TO GO CAMPING? As we usher in the New Year, the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council is already thinking of the New Summer! With nine weeks of adventure offered at Camp Wolfeboro, and six weekends of fun planned for Camp Lindblad, the Council is in need of energetic and enthusiastic new staff members for the summer of 2008. If you are interested in making new friends, spending a summer in the great outdoors, developing leadership and team-building skills, and working with youth and adults of all ages, Wolfeboro and Lindblad are perfect for you. Not only will you encounter meaningful challenges, learn and teach new skills, and work with experienced individuals from all over California and the United States, you will be doing this all while earning job experience and preparing yourself for the future! Why work at a fast food or retail establishment that focuses on sales when you can have opportunities like these that will prepare you for more meaningful endeavors? If you’d like to be on staff, but don’t know where you’d like to work, the Mountaineer program at Camp Wolfeboro may be for you. The Mountaineer program (formerly Counselors in Training) introduces volunteers to counseling merit badges and leading songs while having fun in the various activities that camp has to offers. For one, three- week session Mountaineers will work in program areas including Waterfront, Ecology-Conservation, Shooting Sports, Handicraft, Trailhead, and Scoutcraft. You must be 14 or older by June 1st to be a Mountaineer, and there are only 40 spots available, so act quickly to sign up! If you, or someone you know is interested in working on the Camp Staff as a full-time staff member or as a Mountaineer, fill out the following application, and send one to a friend too! The completed applications should be mailed or dropped off at the Council Office at 800 Ellinwood Way, Pleasant Hill 94523 and addressed to myself, Jason B. Lewis, the Program Director. If you need more applications, you can download a copy from our online website at http://www.bsa-mdsc.org/files/campstaff.pdf and email it to me at [email protected]. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 925-674-6100. We’re looking forward to a great summer, and we’d love to take you along! Good Scouting! Jason B.
