  • Prairielands Council of BSA Announces New Program for Boys
    [email protected] Wednesday, July 19, 2017 www.justthefacts.net Prairielands Council of BSA announces new program for boys entering kindergarten Prairielands Council is excited to announce that there is now a Scouting program for boys entering kindergarten, and they’re called “Lions.” In 2016, the Lion program ran as a pilot program in selected areas throughout the Country, including Prairielands Coun- cil, and it generated great success. Like all Scouting’s ranks and programs, Lion is about offering opportunities, education and having fun. A boy will play games while learning about ex- ercise and being healthy. They’ll also learn about conserving energy with tips for taking care of our planet; the enjoyment and value of community ser- vice; plus first aid and the “Buddy System” when outdoors. Each element is presented in an interactive and fun way, with age appropriate materials that make learning enjoyable. See SCOUTS on other side Excessive heat watch in effect today through Saturday evening The National Weather Service has issued an exces- sive heat watch for a large part of central Illinois, including Vermilion County, starting at noon today and ending at 8 p.m. Saturday. Temperatures in the 90s, combined with high hu- midity, will create heat index values of 110-110 de- grees each day, with the highest values likely Thurs- day and Friday.

  • Prairielands/Lincoln Trails Shared Services
    Prairielands/Lincoln Trails Shared Services Study Summary Points and Sub-Committee Reports Summary Points Five study committees made up of volunteers from each council studied this issue for approximately 2 months including three meetings of each committee. Each of the study committees were charged with reaching one of three conclusions including, 1---status quo (nothing changes), 2---enter in some form of shared services agreement, 3---consolidate the two councils. The study committees evaluated current council health and operations to determine what is in the best interest of serving families long-term with the highest quality program possible. Four of the five study committees determined that it is in the best interest of families to merge the Prairielands and Lincoln Trails Councils; one committee was split in its conclusion stating that the best interests could be served by either Shared Services or Consolidation. The study committee believes the two Councils are financially adequate but neither Council has any significant cushion for adversity with relatively small reserves especially in their respective Operating Funds. Both councils have had essentially flat Total Support & Revenue over the past 5 years which, combined with increasing costs, increase the risk of deficits. A consolidated council would provide cost saving opportunities which would allow for new positions to be created and reduce the workload of District Executives. Thus allowing District Executives to focus additional time and efforts in serving units and growing membership. Significant efforts would be made, including the review of possible redistricting, to promote the consolidated council as on new entity, and avoid marginalizing either council or its outlying territories.

Dress code for the IHCC is a full Class A uniform. Pre-registration is required. No day-of-event registrations accepted. How is the IHCC different from other Commissioner College? The IHCC offers a modified format of course offerings. To start, we encourage Commissioners to complete Orientation and Basic Training in their home councils, where they should also complete and receive their Doctorate Knot in the future. However Commissioner Basic Training will be provided for those who need it. You will receive a Basic Training Certificate and a Continuing Education Certificate for the additional 5 sessions. You can earn Degrees and Continuing Education Certificates based on your personal record per requirement form on the last page (a Scout is Honest). We have slightly modified the BSA sequence of courses. For new Unit Commissioners, we have a suggested track to follow; for experienced Commissioners, we urge you to select those courses that will benefit you most in the position you hold. Everyone is welcome to attend any course that will benefit them the most; our primary goal is to help you become a more effective commissioner, and to help you attain the Doctorate Degree within three years. Roundtable Commissioners welcome! Although the IHCC does not offer roundtable-specific classes this year, all commissioner-related topics are relevant to all Roundtable and Assistant Roundtable Commissioners.
