Page 8 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Cubmaster’s Campfire Greetings Pack Families, This will be my last Cub Masters Campfire as your Cubmaster as I am stepping down I favor of bringing in new leadership to insure the Pack’s future. My replacement is Greg Martinez and I couldn’t be happier to see the Pack being carried on in such capable hands. After being Cubmaster for several years I can say that it has definitely been one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences in my life. I have seen the Pack grow considerably and the current Den and Pack leaders will insure that the pack grows even further. I take my leave to spend the last year of cub scouting leading the Webelos II scouts to their bridging to Boy Scouts and for some of them their highest achievement as Cub Scouts; the Arrow of Light. I have always maintained that for cub scouts no higher award can be earned that the Arrow of Light and they will carry it into Boy Scouts with honor and respect. To attain this award a scout must do the following: “Many of the requirements for the Arrow of Light are intended to familiarize the scout with a local troop and hopefully show him that crossing over into a troop is the next step to take in scouting. A scout that earns his Arrow of Light patch has also completed nearly all the requirements to earn the Scout badge in the troop so he has already begun his Boy Scout trail. 1. Be active in your Webelos den for at least six months since completing the fourth grade (or for at least six months since becoming 10 years old), and earn the Webelos badge. 2. Show your knowledge of the requirements to become a Boy Scout by doing all of these: Repeat from memory and explain in your own words the Scout Oath or Promise and the 12 points of the Scout Law. Tell how you have practiced them in your everyday life. Give and explain the Scout motto, slogan, sign, salute, and handshake. Understand the significance of the First Class Scout badge. Describe its parts and tell what each stands for. Tell how a Boy Scout uniform is different from a Webelos Scout uniform. Tie the joining knot (square knot) 3. See the Boy Scout Study Guide. Use this handy Memorization Wheel to learn and review the Scout Oath, Law, Motto, Slogan, and Outdoor Code. 4. Earn five more activity badges in addition to the three you already earned for the Webelos badge. These must include: Fitness (already earned for the Webelos badge) Citizen (already earned for the Webelos badge) Readyman Outdoorsman At least one from the Mental Skills Group At least one from the Technology Group Two more of your choice 5. With your Webelos den, visit at least one Boy Scout troop meeting one Boy Scout-oriented outdoor activity. (If you have already done this when you earned your Outdoorsman activity badge, you may not use it to fulfill requirements for your Arrow of Light Award.) 2 Participate in a Webelos overnight campout or day hike. (If you have already done this when you earned your Outdoorsman activity badge, you may not use it to fulfill requirements for your Arrow of Light Award requirements.) 6. After you have completed all five of the above requirements, and after a talk with your Webelos den leader, arrange to visit, with your parent or guardian, a meeting of a Boy Scout troop you think you might like to join. Have a conference with the Scoutmaster. 7. Complete the Honesty Character Connection. 8. Know: Say the Cub Scout Promise to your family. Discuss these questions with them. What is a promise? What does it mean to keep your word? What does it mean to be trustworthy? What does honesty mean? 9. Commit: Discuss these questions with your family. Why is a promise important? Why is it important for people to trust you when you give your word? When might it be difficult to be truthful? List examples. It is not an easy accomplishment and is one which when completed is second only to earning ones Eagle Scout. Those who wear the Arrow of Light award are set apart when they enter Boy Scouts as those who have completed the Cub Scout program and join an elite group of scouts which others will always respect. They are to uphold the very best that scouting has to offer and will often come back to help the Pack with peer level leadership as Den Chiefs. So for me this deserves special attention to spend time with only this den. I will still be with the Pack until next year when our Webelos become Boy Scouts. So I am available to help the pack leadership if they should need it. I thank all of our pack parents for making scouting special for our boys, you have never failed to help the pack and everyone in a leadership position here appreciates it. Roger Thor Roop Ex-Cubmaster of Pack 1323 Webelos II Den Leader GREETINGS FROM OUR NEW CUBMASTER: MR. MARTINEZ I look forward to working with Pack 1323 as the new Cub Master. I plan to increase the Pack's level of community service and parent involvement. Over the summer we will have at least one Pack event planned each month. I think that Nick Keeler from my Den provided the best attribute for me this year. He said to his grandfather Wayne "That Greg he's tough but fair". I hope that you will find that. The Scout Committee will do every thing to ensure a great year for your scouts. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me. I would like to thank Ed Custer for his contributions to the Pack over the past several months as the Outings/Hiking Coordinator. He certainly provided events the Pack may not have entertained. As Ed is leaving that is one more spot that we need a parent to step up and help with. If you are interested please contact me. I would like to thank Tamalynn Custer for writing the Scout newsletter over the past year. As Tamalynn will not be writing it this year we require a parent to step up and assist. If there is someone who would like to be in charge of the newsletter please contact me. Have a great summer! Thanks. Greg Cubmaster of Pack 1323 Bear Den Leader 3 A Knot for everyone By Roger Thor Roop, Webelos II Den Leader One is never too young to learn to tie knots and starting early will prepare a you for bright future in scouting and life in general. It is empowering to know how to tie a knot and even more so when you consider the fact that it can help to save lives. So let us start off simple and do the knot that is shown above. Question 1: What is the knot above called? Answer: It is the Arrow of Light Knot, which is the highest award issued in the Cub Scouts. It is represented as a tied Square Knot. The SQUARE KNOT, also called the REEF KNOT, is an ideal selection for tying two lines of the same size together so they will not slip. To tie a square knot, first bring the two ends of the line together and make an overhand knot. Then form another overhand knot in the opposite direction, as shown in figure 1. NOTE: A good rule to follow for a square knot is left over right and right over left. When tying a square knot, make sure the two overhand knots are parallel. ‘his means that each running end must come out parallel to the standing part of its own line. If your knot fails to meet this test, you have tied what is known as a “granny.” A granny knot should NEVER be used; it is unsafe because it will slip under strain. A true square knot instead of slipping under strain will only draw tighter. The TRICK is that you should be able to slide the loops down the length of line easily, but cinch them tightly together again. Walking Tall & Looking Good: Uniform guides and tricks. By Roger Thor Roop Nothing is better representative of a dedication to scouting than a scout in full class A uniform. There is a lot of confusion for a new scout and his parents when he first joins the pack. So This series of articles will help explain the Pack’s policy along with the policies set forth by the Boy Scouts of America. To understand this better lets looks at the common uniform standards as established by the BSA.

  • Patch and Badge Placement
    Patch and Badge Placement United States Flag This patch is one that you shouldn't have to sew on! Most uniforms come with the flag already attached to the right sleeve. Some previously used uniforms may have it taken off but additional ones can be purchased at the Scout Store. The Boy Scouts of America emblem over the right pocket is also attached to uniforms when purchased. World Crest This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to signify membership of our program in the World Scouting Movement. This patch shows our brotherhood with millions of Scouts around the world. This patch is worn centered above the left pocket in the middle between the top of the pocket and the shoulder seam. Quality Unit Award This award is given units who have met a list of requirements. This award is worn on the right sleeve of the official uniform. The top of the award should be placed 4" below the top of the American flag . Only the Quality Unit Award for the current year may be worn on the uniform . Council Patch This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to indicate the Council that represents their Pack. Each Council develops their own design although the shape and position on the uniform are the same. Our Council is the Occoneechee Council. This patch is worn on the left sleeve just below the shoulder seam. Unit Numerals This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to signify membership in Pack 222. You will see two versions of this patch: a one-piece patch that can be special ordered or the Pack number can be made up of three individual numeral patches that are sewn on next to one another.

  • Boy Scout Troop 259 Raven Knob Scout Reservation
    Boy Scout Troop 259 Church of St. Therese March 2009 Volume 4, Issue 1 Raven Knob Scout Reservation We will again have a large contingent going to summer camp. This year we will have 30 scouts and 15 adults going to Ravenknob in the mountains of North Carolina near Mt. Airy. A link to the leaders guide has been posted to the website. Please take a look at the merit badges that will be provided and be thinking of which ones you want to take. The merit badge signup is due by May 1st, and the most popular selections will be first come first serve. This is a great way for new scouts to get a jump start towards rank, and for those older scouts to get merit badges that they may not see at other venues—Archeology, Orienteering, Cinema- tography, Mountain Biking, etc. The schedule will permit scouts to take as many as 8 merit badges (though this would be a lot of work with little downtime). For the adults going, the leaders can get Climbing Instruc- tor Certification, Climb-on Safely, CPR, New Leader Essentials or Safe Swim instruction. As usual, we will be working on the Scoutmaster Merit Badge while we are there. No rest for the weary. On Saturday, February 7th between 8 and 10 am, our scouts served well over 250 pancakes and sau- sages at our Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser held at the Applebee's Restaurant on College Drive. Our final ticket sale total was 223 which meant that $810.16 went back into the individual accounts of the 22 scouts who sold tickets.

  • Staff Guide the Syllabus Wood Badge
    WOOD BADGE Leadership for Scouting—Leadership for America STAFF GUIDE THE SYLLABUS WOOD BADGE (This page intentionally left blank.) ii 2013 edition WOOD BADGE Wood Badge Foreword Welcome to Wood Badge, the ultimate leadership training program for the adult leaders of the Boy Scouts of America. Established in 1919 by Robert Baden-Powell, Scouting’s founder, Wood Badge has been the training ground for hundreds of thousands of Scouters around the world. As the challenges in the world have changed, Wood Badge has also evolved to give leaders the skills they need to strengthen Scouting in meaningful ways. The latest version of Wood Badge train- ing represents the most significant changes in the program since the early 1970s. Building on the past, understanding the present, and looking to the future, Wood Badge stands ready to provide leadership for Scouting and leadership for America. The Wood Badge course brings together leaders from all areas of Scouting—Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, Venturing—and all levels of Boy Scouts of America professional staff. Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, the course also draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles, and successful outdoor leadership organizations throughout the country. This version of Wood Badge builds on all that has come before it. Veteran Wood Badge staff members will discover that the best of the traditions and experiences of Wood Badge have been brought forward and recast to be enjoyed by today’s participants. In addition, Wood Badge draws from a wide range of sources within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest in leadership theory and team development.
