Cub Scout Camping Policies DEL-MAR-VA COUNCIL, INC. BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA CUB SCOUT CAMPING POLICIES The following is a summary of BSA and Del-Mar-Va Council policies pertaining to Cub Scout and Webelos camping. CUB SCOUT CAMPING – Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos may participate in Cub Scout Resident Camp, Pack, District, or Council-sponsored Cub/parent overnights, or Cub Scout Day Camp. Cub Scouts may not attend camp with a Boy Scout Troop. Tigers must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Camping may take place at a council camp property, or at city, state, or national park or council approved facility only. No tent camping will take place between November 1st and April 15th. Tent camping should be done only in warm weather and at sites reasonably close to home. The focus of a campout should be on Cub Scout outdoor activities and Adventures. PACK FAMILY CAMPING – Each Pack must have at least one adult that has completed BALOO or WELOT training in attendance at a campout. At least one attending adult must have completed Youth Protection training. Training cards must be shown to the Campmasters or camp administration upon check-in. Before a campout takes place, the Pack leadership must ensure that each family that will be participating receives an orientation on outdoor camping and Youth Protection from someone knowledgeable about the outdoors and BSA policies. The Buddy System must be in use at all times. No tent camping may take place between November 1st and April 15th. The adult to child ratio must be one to one for ALL Cub Scout overnight activities, exceptions may be made only for siblings. Please do not attempt to circumvent this policy, it was designed for the benefit of your child. One goal of the Cub Scout program is to create opportunities for parents and children to spend quality time together. It is hoped that single parents might try to get someone to care for siblings, so that they may have some special, one on one time with their Cub Scout. In addition to Youth Protection concerns, it is true that boys will frequently experience homesickness when faced with unusual surroundings and unfamiliar people, the presence of a parent will mitigate this. Siblings other than registered Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts may not camp with a Pack at Henson, Rodney, or Akridge Scout Reservations at a Pack organized camping program. They may do so at a council or district sponsored camping event at any council camp, at the discretion of the volunteer committee organizing the event. When permitted by the event committee, it is the Pack’s decision on whether to include non- Scout siblings at those events. If siblings are to be permitted, it may be necessary to encourage additional adult family members to attend to ensure that children are properly supervised and that activities receive the attention they deserve. Siblings may only participate in age appropriate activities, and family members are responsible for their own children. At Pack campouts, all meals must be provided from a central feeding area. Cooking is the responsibility of the Pack, individual Dens and families may not cook on their own. Youth involvement in cooking activities should be minimal. Each family is responsible for their own medical care. The BSA’s accident insurance does not cover unregistered family members, unless they are attending council sponsored events at which families are specifically invited*. The Pack leadership must have a BSA Annual Health and Medical Record Form (# 680-001) -with Parts A and B completed for ALL participants for activities of 72 hours duration or less, and Parts A, B, and C completed for events longer than 72 hours. A Tour and Activity Plan should be completed and submitted to the council at least 21 days in advance of any Pack activity involving aquatics, shooting sports, travel outside council boundaries, trips of at DEL-MAR-VA COUNCIL, INC. BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA CUB SCOUT CAMPING POLICIES least 500 miles distance, or when otherwise requested by the council. This provides an opportunity to ensure that all the necessary details of a safe and well organized activity are in place, and allows the council to give guidance and assistance as necessary to ensure a successful program. Packs may tour a facility such as a museum, military installation, or nature center, that includes an overnight stay as part of its program, provided: (1) there will be no outdoor camping on the trip, (2) all meals and other necessary facilities are provided to the Pack, (3) sleeping occurs indoors, and (4) there is a parent or other responsible adult participating with each child. The parent to child ratio may not be lowered regardless of the standards or policies of the facility being visited. WEBELOS CAMPING – Please see the relevant section(s) of the Cub Scouts Webelos Handbook for Youth (#620140 or #620139). Webelos are strongly encouraged to participate in overnight camping. The Webelos and Arrow of Light Dens should not plan any overnight activities without parental participation from each family. Webelos leaders should have completed Webelos Leader Outdoor Training (WELOT). In planning a campout, it should be remembered that Webelos should not yet be experiencing full, Boy Scout-type camping. The focus should be on Webelos appropriate outdoor skills and Adventure Pins. Tent camping should take place only in warm weather and at sites reasonably close to home. Every Webelos and Arrow of Light Scout must have a parent or other responsible adult accompany him on the overnight. It is desirable to have every boy be under the supervision of his parent. Please do not attempt to circumvent this policy, it was formed for the benefit of your child. It is hoped that single parents might try to get someone to care for siblings, so that they may have some special, one on one time with their Webelos Scout. In addition to Youth Protection concerns, it is true that boys will frequently experience homesickness when faced with unusual surroundings and unfamiliar people, the presence of a parent will mitigate this. If a parent cannot attend, arrangements must be made by the Scout’s family for another adult relative or trusted friend to substitute at the campout. Only in the event of an emergency situation or other unusual circumstance may the parent of another youth who is not a registered Webelos leader assume responsibility for another parent’s Scout. Such adult may not be responsible for more than two Scouts. Webelos visiting Boy Scout Camporees or Klondike Derbies may only participate in age-appropriate activities, and no tent camping may take place between November 1st and April 15th. BSA COUNCIL MANAGED FAMILY CAMPING is defined as a council or district-sponsored outdoor camping event, such as Cub Family Weekends, Council Jamborees, or Camporees (but excluding Resident Camp), that involves Cub Scout, Boy Scout, or Venturing program elements in an overnight setting with one or more family members attending, that must include at least one registered member of the BSA. This activity may take place only on a council property, a city, state, or national park, or other council approved facility. 1. Families of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Explorers may attend district and council sponsored overnight activities at Del-Mar-Va Council camps at the discretion of the volunteer committee responsible for the event. They may participate only in age appropriate activities. At least one adult is required to attend for each family. That adult is responsible for all family members in attendance, especially younger siblings of the BSA youth member. Event staff members may only be responsible for their own children, and should remember that they are responsible for the successful operation of the event. If bringing younger siblings, it may be DEL-MAR-VA COUNCIL, INC. BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA CUB SCOUT CAMPING POLICIES necessary to enlist other family members so that the children are properly supervised and that the staff member can devote the proper attention to their portion of the event. 2. BSA Council Managed Family Camping activities involving tent camping will not take place between November 1st and April 15th. 3. All meals must be provided from a central feeding area. The cooking staff must be approved by the council Director of Program Experience or designee. 4. Pre-camp training on outdoor camping and Youth Protection is provided for all families prior to the event by persons that are knowledgeable of the outdoors and BSA policies and are approved by the council Director of Program Experience or designee. 5. Each family is responsible for their own medical care. BSA accident insurance does not cover unregistered family members, except in cases where family members are attending council sponsored family camping events*. 6. Any group not adhering to these policies will be cause for approval to attend being denied or rescinded, or cancellation of the event. For more information on guidelines for outdoor activities, see the Guide to Safe Scouting (# 34416) or the Cub Scouts Leader Handbook (#620569). *For more information regarding BSA Accident and Sickness Insurance coverage, please contact the Del-Mar-Va Council at 302-622-3300 or visit delmarvacouncil.org to view a copy of the current insurance certificate with description of coverage.

  • 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.

  • Suggested Presentation of Masonic Scouter Awards
    Suggested Presentation of Masonic Scouter Awards Masonic Official: Freemasonry is based on service, and the exemplification of moral truth, which is essential for good role models. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of America, created the Daniel Carter Beard Masonic Scouter Award as a national award program for Masons who exemplify the Scout Law and Masonic Virtues, in service to the Scouting Program. Masonic Official: In the late 1800’s, Daniel Carter Beard created a program called the “Boy Pioneers” that inspired Lord Robert Baden-Powell to create the Boy Scouts in England. The Boy Scout program came to the United States in 1910 when Dan Beard merged his organization into the Boy Scouts of America and became its first National Commissioner. A Master Mason in New York, Brother Dan Beard stands as a fine example of how a Mason can live a life of Masonic Service to mankind, by reaching out and working with youth in the local community. Masonic Official: The award consists of a Masonic medallion suspended from a blue and silver neck ribbon, which can be worn at any Masonic or Scout gathering, a certificate, and a traditional Scouting knot patch authorized by the Boy Scouts of America as the “Community Organization Award,” to be worn by Scouters above the left shirt pocket of the uniform. Masonic Official: Today, this presentation of the Daniel Carter Beard Masonic Scouter Award is being made to the following deserving (brother/brethren) who (was/were) nominated by (his/their) Lodge, approved by the local Scout Executive, and authorized by the Grand Lodge.

  • Ernest Thompson Seton 1860-1946
    Ernest Thompson Seton 1860-1946 Ernest Thompson Seton was born in South Shields, Durham, England but emigrated to Toronto, Ontario with his family at the age of 6. His original name was Ernest Seton Thompson. He was the son of a ship builder who, having lost a significant amount of money left for Canada to try farming. Unsuccessful at that too, his father gained employment as an accountant. Macleod records that much of Ernest Thompson Seton 's imaginative life between the ages of ten and fifteen was centered in the wooded ravines at the edge of town, 'where he built a little cabin and spent long hours in nature study and Indian fantasy'. His father was overbearing and emotionally distant - and he tried to guide Seton away from his love of nature into more conventional career paths. He displayed a considerable talent for painting and illustration and gained a scholarship for the Royal Academy of Art in London. However, he was unable to complete the scholarship (in part through bad health). His daughter records that his first visit to the United States was in December 1883. Ernest Thompson Seton went to New York where met with many naturalists, ornithologists and writers. From then until the late 1880's he split his time between Carberry, Toronto and New York - becoming an established wildlife artist (Seton-Barber undated). In 1902 he wrote the first of a series of articles that began the Woodcraft movement (published in the Ladies Home Journal). The first article appeared in May, 1902. On the first day of July in 1902, he founded the Woodcraft Indians, when he invited a group of boys to camp at his estate in Connecticut and experimented with woodcraft and Indian-style camping.

  • History of Venturing
    When Did Venturing Begin? Officially Venturing was created by the Boy Scouts of America’s executive board on February 9, 1998. However if you ask Bill Evans, Associate Director, Venturing, who was there that day and helped create Venturing, he would expand a little. In 1995, the Outdoor Exploring Committee chaired by Dr. Dick Miller of Waynesboro, Virginia, met in Long Key, Florida. The primary purpose of the meeting was to address the issue of how to support and sustain the amazing growth that outdoor Exploring was enjoying. During a five year period in the early 90s, Outdoor Exploring had grown 94% to almost a hundred thousand members. What resulted from that committee meeting was what is now known as the Ranger Award, the Silver Award, and Bronze Awards. Evans said that when the committee would come up with an idea, it would sound familiar. Then they would refer to a 1950 edition of the Explorer Handbook and find their idea had already been applied years ago. So, if you are a history buff and have an early edition Explorer Handbook, you can see the many similarities between early days Exploring and today’s Venturing. If you really want to trace the roots of Venturing, according to Evans, you have to go way back. Evans says the need for a senior Boy Scout program probably surface the second day after Scouting started in the United States in 1910. Actually in the very first national executive board meeting report, it is stated that there was a discussion about losing older boys.
