Several years ago the director of a wildly successful and popular Cub event Voice of the Scout was asked, “How do you do it?’ “It’s easy,” he replied. “Just find out what they want and give it to them.” That’s just what Voice of the Scout is all about. The Voice of the Scout program will capture the experiences of our members and volunteers during a 10-week survey period in both the spring and fall. Surveys will be sent to leaders, chartered organization representatives, par- ents of Scouts, and Scouts over age 14. To receive a survey, someone in the Scouting household must have email information on file in the BSA ScoutNET system. The information will be aggregated and displayed at unit, district, council, area, and region levels on a new VOS dashboard available to council employees and board-level volunteers.

  • Collecting Scouting Handbooks 1910 1911
    Collecting Scouting Handbooks The ISCA Getting Started Collecting Series If you are now or were ever a Scout, your first Scouting “collectible” was probably your Cub Scout or Boy Scout handbook. Since Scouting was founded in 1908 and then incorporated in the United States in 1910, there have been millions and millions of Scouting handbooks distributed. In this introductory article we will only talk about Handbooks for the Boy Scouts of America. However, if collecting printed materials from Scouting catches your interest, there are many different possibilities that a collector can consider, from both the United States and around the world. Since 1911, there have been eleven completely different editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. The following is a brief summary of each one. 1910 68,900 copies The 1910 Handbook, also referred to as the “Original Edition”, was not new material but rather a compilation of existing information from two other sources. Soon after the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America in February 1910, there was a huge demand for a handbook that could be used to support the efforts of the early United States Scouts. Ernest Thompson Seton, the first Chief Scout of the BSA, offered to prepare a book that could be used until the first “real” handbook could be developed. He took material from Baden-Powell’s Scouting for Boys that had been published in England in 1908 and his own Birch Bark Roll used by the Woodcraft Indians, an earlier outdoor program youth group, and combined them to make the first Boy Scouts of America Official Handbook.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

  • Learning from the Past, Facing the Future the Boy Scouts, USA
    CASE STUDY 6Learning from the Past, Facing the Future The Boy Scouts, USA Where is there a boy to whom the call of the wild and the open road does not appeal? ~ Robert Baden-Powell A man’s usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune make for a finer, nobler type of manhood. ~ Theodore Roosevelt 86 Mention the phrase “character-forming institution” to an American male of a certain generation, and chances are high he will invoke the Boy Scouts. The most popular youth movement in American history, the Scouts became the preeminent virtue-building organization of the twentieth century, influ- encing a web of other civic institutions. More than 105 million boys have participated in the program, including disproportionate numbers of leaders. To this day, the Boy Scouts remain an icon of the sort of citizen that once made America exceptional and proud. But times have changed, for better and for worse. As this is writ- ten, the Boy Scouts of America is considering filing for bankruptcy. The organization has been tossed about by cultural waves, the most recent relating to changing norms around gender and sexuality. The brand car- ries baggage. Functionally, Scouting has been damaged by declines in volunteering and community activity, the shifting structure of modern families, conflicting messages around basic notions of masculinity, and pervasive cultural swells toward self-advancement, away from character and community.

    Chris Farnitano, MD 324 Shenandoah Dr. Martinez, CA 94553 October 11, 2012 Wayne Brock, Chief Scout Executive Boy Scouts of America 1325 West Walnut Hill Lane PO Box 152079 Irving, TX 75015-2079 Dear Mr. Brock: I am writing to you to strongly protest your actions and the actions of the National Office of the Boy Scouts of America in contributing to the denial of the rank of Eagle Scout to Ryan Andresen of Troop 212 in Moraga and his expulsion from the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of his sexual orientation. I am an Eagle Scout, scoutmaster for Troop 239 of Mt. Diablo Silverado Council, and the father of two Eagle Scouts and one Life Scout who is working towards Eagle. I have been very proud of my Eagle. I worry that my sons and my scouts will view their Eagle Scout Awards now as more of an embarrassment than a badge of honor. I work for Contra Costa County, a governmental agency that does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. I worship at a Christian church, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Pleasant Hill, that does not discriminate, and I pledge my allegiance to a country whose military does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. The Boy Scouts of America continues to practice a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy regarding sexual orientation. This policy destroyed many careers when it was in place in the US military, and it is traumatizing our youth as it is practiced in the BSA. My church has refused to serve as a chartering organization for a local Cub Scout pack as this BSA policy conflicts with our religious commitment to welcome all regardless of sexual orientation.
