Course Catalog 2018 Course Catalog 2018 Welcome As the University of Scouting, Heart of America Council, it is our mission to deliver meaningful, innovative, vivacious, up-to-date, and accurate training in a timely manner to meet the needs and fulfill the interests of multigenerational Scout Leaders within and outside the Heart of America Council. This is a day of supplemental training for scouters and scouts 13 years old and above and venturers. Courses offered are to “educate, excite, and empower” you, the participant, to do a better job in your position in scouting, whether you are a parent helping other parents, a new or experienced den leader, new or experienced cubmaster or scoutmaster, new or experienced unit committee member, or new or experienced venturing leader. So many NEW courses this year and the addition of “The College of Family Scouting” is particularly exciting as we welcome boys and girls (and their parents) into the scouting world. We are offering classes that reach beyond the unit meetings and into life. Take time to peruse the catalog to make your selection. Enjoy activities and exhibitors on the Midway. University of Scouting is delighted to collaborate with Area 5 VOA Conference and the Key Leadership Summit. Watch for and welcome those wearing other council patches. They have come a distance to be here and have stories and experiences to share. Join US in becoming an educated and skilled Scout Leader who enthusiastically guides, instructs, and inspires youth and adults across all programs of the Boy Scouts of America. Wishing you a day filled with fun and educational adventures.

  • Scoutspeak 101 November 2020
    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board. November 20, 2020 Page 1 of 16 Council Support The thinking here is that Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members.
