  • Boy Scouts of America Western Los Angeles County Council Western E‐ T Rails Bringing You This Week in Scouting!
    Boy Scouts of America Western Los Angeles County Council Western E‐ T rails Bringing You This Week in Scouting! Editor: Romy Longwell Western Los Angeles County Council August 16, 2006 16525 Sherman Way, #C‐8 Van Nuys, CA 91406 (818) 933‐0103 Rlongwell@bsa‐la.org Scouting Brings Cross­Cultural Youth Experiences to the San Fernando Valley By David I. Karp What is the likelihood of a summer day camp program in the San Fernando Valley with participants in the same place at the same time from such diverse groups as Spanish­speaking Hispanic youth and religiously observant Jewish youth? Such a cross­cultural youth experience actually occurred in the Eastern San Fernando Valley in July 2006. This marvel was a part of the local programming of the Western Los Angeles County Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This Scout Council produces six week long Cub Scout Day Camps throughout Northern and Western Los Angeles County. Each provides the opportunity for the youth of diverse religious, ethnic and cultural groups to come together. In July in the East Valley, boys attended Cub Scout Day Camp from both the religious Jewish community of Valley Village and from the Spanish speaking Hispanic community of Pacoima and surrounding areas. These boys might never have crossed paths but for the Scouting program that put them together. Their backgrounds and cultures are worlds apart, yet they have Scouting in com­ mon: The religious Jewish boys are affiliated with the traditional Cub Scouting program, adjusted to accommodate the religious practices of Orthodox Judaism. The Hispanic youth are members of a new national Soccer & Scouting program recently launched locally by the Scout Council.

  • 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.
