The Rev. Thomas C. Jackson Alameda, CA
The Rev. Thomas C. Jackson Alameda, CA Sunday, May 5, 2013 Dear Leaders of the Alameda Council: Soon Alameda Council President Toby Anderson and Commissioner Rick Lewis will had the opportunity to to vote for allowing gay boys to be full members of Boy Scout troops and speak in strong support for allowing gay and lesbian adults to serve as Scout leaders. As an individual who is an Eagle Scout, a former Scoutmaster, and a priest at Christ Episcopal Church here in Alameda, I call on you to support these changes. Until this change is made, we will not be able to support the Boy Scouts of America. Recently the leader of one of your packs asked if the Cub Scout group could relocate to our church. The congregation's governing board held a full and lively discussion on his request before deciding - by a large margin - that we could not host the pack without violating our pledge to live as a Christian community. For much of the discussion, I argued in support of letting the boys meet in our church. I thought back to my days as a Cub and Boy Scout: to the ways I benefited from campouts and hikes and merit badges and activities. But as parish leaders spoke, I realized that what I saw as a great program for boys is now a source of division that hurts rather than helps young men. Some of the strongest opposition to the pack came from parents who simply did not want their straight children to think excluding gay kids was ever acceptable. -
Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Council History 1910S
Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Council History Girl Scouts has not always been as popular and successful as it is today. In fact, the organization had a somewhat humble beginning. The Movement began on March 12, 1912 with just 18 girls in Savannah, Georgia. Initially founded by Juliette Gordon Low as American Girl Guides, the name of the organization was changed to Girl Scouts in 1913. Her idea was revolutionary, for although times had begun to change, the lives of girls and women were still very limited. They had few opportunities for outdoor recreation, their career options were almost non‐existent, and, as Juliette Low observed, they were expected to be "prim and subservient." But convention did not impede Juliette Low. Her vision of Girl Scouting became a reality that actively challenged the norms that defined the lives of girls. She constantly encouraged girls to learn new skills and emphasized citizenship, patriotism, and serving one’s country. Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana History & Archive Committee invites anyone interested in preserving Girl Scout history, developing Girl Scout history related programs and events, creating historic exhibits, and/or interviewing and collecting oral Girl Scout histories to contact the history and archive committee at [email protected] for more information. 1910s In Louisville, the first unofficial Girl Scout troop was organized in July of 1911 by Charlotte Went Butler, an outdoors‐loving 11‐year‐old, even before the Girl Scouts was officially founded in Georgia. A patrol of eight girls was formed as members of Boy Scout troop #17. The girls met in the basement of the Highland Library. -
Lodge History
History Tali Taktaki Lodge 70 The Order of the Arrow The Order of the Arrow (OA) was founded by Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948 the OA, recognized as the BSA’s national brotherhood of honor campers, became an official part of the Boy Scouts of America. In 1998, the Order of the Arrow became recognized as Scouting’s National Honor Society when it expanded its reach beyond camping to include broader service to Scouting and the community. Scouting’s Early Days in Greensboro The Boy Scout program began in Guilford County in central North Carolina in 1910 with the formation of Troop One. Their early history included a trip to Pilot Mountain by train and backpack. The troop participated each year in Memorial Day services where they escorted local Confederate veterans. Additional troops were formed in the area and a “Board” of local leaders was started in 1915. Greensboro Council was formed in 1918 with the hiring of Robert Denny as Scout Executive. The Council purchased property in 1924 for a local Scout camp. Troop One with Col. Robert E. Lee at 1912 Memorial Day Observance Camp Graystone began summer programs in 1926. In 1929 the growing council chartered its first Sea Scout Ship and its first troop for African-Americans. At the end of 1929 the Council reported 464 boys in the program. -

Order of the Arrow Brotherhood Requirements
ORDER OF THE ARROW BROTHERHOOD REQUIREMENTS Ever since the inception of the Order of the Arrow in 1915, it was intended that all members should be equal in rank. Brotherhood membership does not provide a specific degree of rank, status, or special honor like that of the Vigil Honor. Instead, the Brotherhood is an opportunity for members to reaffirm their belief in the high purposes of the Order. The ceremony is intended as a source of inspiration that motivates brothers to give even greater service to Scouting. An Ordeal member may become a Brotherhood member when he has completed the five Challenges of Brotherhood Membership below: 1) Memorize the signs of OA Membership: A) Obligation I, (your name), do hereby promise on my honor as a Scout, that I will always and faithfully observe and preserve the traditions of the Order of the Arrow, Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui. I will always regard the ties of Brotherhood in the Order of the Arrow as lasting, and will seek to preserve a cheerful spirit even in the midst of irksome tasks and weighty responsibilities, and will endeavor, so far as in my power lies, to be unselfish in service and devotion to the welfare of others. B) OA Song “Firm bound in brotherhood, gather the clan that cheerful service brings to fellow man. Circle our council fire, weld tightly every link that binds us in brotherhood, Wimachtendienk.” C) Admonition Never said above a whisper. If you need your memory refreshed, check with a lodge officer or ceremonial team. D) Sign of Ordeal Membership Drawing an arrow from a quiver over the left shoulder with right arm. -
Cub Scout Demonstrations Scouts USA Ceremonies
(rev. 11Feb2019) Ajapeu Lodge 2 provides memorable and meaningful demonstrations for Cub Scout Packs and ceremonies for Scout Troops. You can request a demonstration performance or ceremony through our American Indian Affairs (AIA) committee by submitting a Ceremonies Team Request Form on line (see below for more details). Our demonstrations and ceremonies have a Native American theme and are performed in hand-made, period- authentic costume and regalia and are fully scripted by our Ceremonies team. Cub Scout Demonstrations As of January 1, 2019, national policy prohibits the OA from wearing regalia (costumes) in Cub Scout Arrow of Light and Crossover ceremonies. In addition, the OA is only permitted to use the scripts approved by the national committee for these 2 ceremonies. We will continue to perform demonstrations in full regalia prior to Arrow of Light and Crossover ceremonies conducted by Pack leaders and youth. Our demonstrations are designed to enhance your own Arrow of Light or Crossover ceremonies. While we do not typically perform the actual ceremony, our demonstrations create a fun and memorable atmosphere to set up your ceremony. Our period-authentic, hand-made regalia and tailored script are both suitable for Cub Scout-aged youth and respectful to Native American culture. If requested, we can also perform the actual Arrow of Light or Crossover ceremonies in accordance with national policy using the approved scripts and wearing the Field uniform with our OA sashes. Scouts USA Ceremonies There is no restriction on OA ceremonies for Scout Troops. Ceremonies are performed in full regalia with scripts tailored to the ceremony. -

2020 Membership Recruitment Playbook
2020 Membership Recruitment Playbook MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT OVERVIEW: Scouting changes lives and Inviting new families to join Scouting is one of the most important things we can do to impact our communities and forward the Scouting movement. This annual process begins by working to ensure all youth and unit’s recharter in December. Focus is placed on ensuring all Cub Scouts cross over into Scouts BSA. Scouting unit’s run Spring and Fall Recruitment Events to invite families to join. Lastly, we work to start new units throughout the year, offering more locations for families to participate in Scouting. Sustaining strong membership in a unit depends not only on having new members join the unit but also on engaging youth and their families in the unit experience so that they stay. The unit role of New Member Coordinator helps to ensure that these keys to success take place. All units should have at least one registered New Member Coordinator who implements the unit membership plan and collaborates membership efforts with District leadership. 2020 JOURNEY TO EXCELLENCE: The District Membership Committee works annually to achieve the following Journey to Excellence items: #3 – Membership Growth – Increase the number of registered youth in Scouting #4 – Community Impact – Maintain or Increase market share (program density) #5 – New Member Recruiting – Cub Scouts recruited equals 3%+ of TAY (Total Available Youth) TABLE OF CONTENTS Page 2 2019 Membership Plan Overview Page 3 District Membership Committee Overview Pages 4-12 Cub Scout Fall Recruitment -
