FORWARD You will enjoy reading this History of the Golden Empire Council! Our Council's History Committee and contributors, whom we would like to thank, have done a marvelous job collecting stories, information and facts that give us understanding for, and appreciation of, Northern California Scouting. Reading about great Scout leaders, youth who have benefited from the program, and community organi­ zations, which enable Scouting to prosper, gives me the motivation to increase my own efforts to ensure Scouting's future success. You will be motivated to continue your important involvement and contributions to this great movement. During the 50th Anniversary of Scouting, in 1960, the Council had a theme of "Strengthen America - Character Counts". It is appropriate during this Council Diamond jubilee Anniversary, that the Council and National Theme is "Character Counts - Be Prepared For the 21st Century". Thanks for all you have done for our youth in the past and all you will do in the future. Scott johnson, Scout Executive LETTER FROM THE COUNCIL HISTORY COMMITTEE Production of this book has been an idea shared by members of this committee for many years. The committee formed in 1989 at the request of then Scout Executive, Bob Mazucca. An archive, from which to write the book, was begun. Members have been added along the way; actual book writing began in july 1993. Our goal has been to present as complete a story of the Council as we could, and to publish by 1995, Golden Empire Council's 75th Anniversary. In gathering facts, we have done our best. However, we realize that this book is not perfect. Many facts about events and key players have, over the years, simply been lost. From this viewpoint, we feel this book is only a beginning; we plan to issue supplements every five years. If readers have facts, names of key individuals, stories, anecdotes or photographs to add, or corrections to make, please contact the Council Historical Committee through the Council Office in Sacramento. In the year 2000 we will issue a supplement to chronicle years 1995-1999, and to fill omissions of fact or print photographs from prior years. Mergers of Buttes Area and Mount Lassen Area Councils into Golden Empire, on December 31,1992, were not anticipated when this committee formed. However, we have tried our best to highlight those councils' histories in chapters 9 and 10. Again, should additional materials become available, please contact the committee for inclusion in the five-year supplements.

While a British Constabulary officer in Africa, the founder of Scouting, Robert S. S. Baden-Powell (Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell) developed a special program to improve his men's effectiveness. This training was begun because of sol­ diers' deficiencies in areas of dependability, initiative, resource­ fulness, self-reliance and cooperation. In England, his materials were published in book form as the popular Aids to Scouting. 1907 Baden-Powell returned to En­ gland, and in 1907, operated an experi­ mental Boy Scout troop at a camp on Brownsea Island, off the English coast. Here the "patrol method" was developed; here also, Baden-Powell developed ma­ terials for his book, Scoutingfor Boys. This new handbook first appeared fortnightly in six parts, and then in book form May, 1908. Scouting soon became a world-wide movement. It was from these early days that the British Scout Oath, or Prom­ ise, Laws and the concept of the daily good turn were developed. The motto, "Be Prepared", and a Scout uniform were also adopted. 1909 According to legend, in the fall of 1909, a Chicago pub­ lisher, Wililiam D. Boyce, was lost in a London fog.

  • €˜Better Call Saul,€™ €˜Lodge 49€™ Get Premiere Dates, Photos
    ‘Better Call Saul,’ ‘Lodge 49’ Get Premiere Dates, Photos 06.01.2018 AMC revealed first-look photos for season four of Better Call Saul, as well as first-look photos for new series Lodge 49, which will debut immediately after the return of the Breaking Bad prequel. Better Call Saul will premiere August 6 at 9 p.m., followed by Lodge 49 at 10 p.m. "Monday nights have become a destination for our character-driven dramas, and we loved the idea of pairing these two series, which are similar in their darkly comedic tone and led by two charming yet complicated characters facing huge life moments," said David Madden, president of original programming for AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios. Better Call Saul follows the transformation of corporate attorney Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) into sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman, which is catalyzed by the death of his brother Chuck (Michael McKean) in season three. In the wake of his loss, Jimmy takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer - and his relationship with Kim (Rhea Seehorn) - in jeopardy. Chuck's death also deeply affects former colleagues Howard (Patrick Fabian) and Kim as well, putting the two of them once again on opposite sides of a battle sparked by the McGill brothers. Meanwhile, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) takes a more active role as Madrigal Ehrmantraut's (Jonathan Banks) newest (and most thorough) security consultant. It's a volatile time to be in the employ Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), as Hector's (Mark Margolis) collapse sends shock waves throughout the Albuquerque underworld and throws the cartel into chaos - tearing apart both Gus and Nacho's (Michael Mando) well-laid plans.

  • Wood-Badge-Centenary Identity Guidelines.Pdf
    WOOD BADGE CENTENARY IDENTITY GUIDELINES Wood Badge Centenary logo #ShapingLeaders Today, the Wood Badge training remains as an important mechanism for shaping the leaders of the Scout Movement. To grow our Movement and empower more young people through Scouting, we need more adult volunteers to commit to our cause and support the implementation of our Vision. We should attract more volunteers, deliver relevant training, and retain them for various responsibilities, primarily to support the development and implementation of the Youth Programme. The Wood Badge Centenary artwork is an abstract representation of the Oak leaf, the leaf of the Gilwell Oak. Just as the Oak tree produces strong and evergreen leaves, the Scout Movement shapes young people into strong, adaptable, and resilient leaders. The (Gilwell) Oak symbolises the Wood Badge training, its beads, and growth of adults in Scouting.

  • 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.

  • 2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information
    2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information (Patrol Leaders, Unit Leaders and station staff should read and know before the event. Be aware changes have been made since last year.) The Klondike Derby is a test of scout skills and of the patrol method. If your troop routinely practices traditional scout skills and is “scout-led”, you’ll find nothing unfamiliar with what is expected of you to score well. No matter your score, your participation in this event will help make you a better troop and will strengthen the bonds that make good patrols. Ideally, scouts will learn their strengths and weaknesses and have a fun weekend. We are very proud of all our participants. CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS: Senior patrols have been eliminated in favor of a rank handicapping system. In previous years, patrols of higher ranking scouts were segregated into a “senior” division. However, they still completed the same challenges as “regular” patrols at all stations, and typically only a very small number of patrols were identified as a senior patrol. This year all patrols will be handicapped based on the ranks of patrol members, which will level the playing field for all patrols. Details of the handicapping system are described in the scoring section below. Patrols should be “natural” patrols as much as possible; if natural patrols need to be merged to crew a Klondike sled, efforts should be made to average out ranks as much as possible. Troops must submit a patrol roster including each scout’s rank at registration, at which time the patrol’s handicap will be determined.
