An honor because I was privileged to work with a team of people who provided the knowledge that flows from these pages. People like John Burkitt, Laura Burton, Dr. Kip Haggerty, Richard Mathews, and count- less others who influenced them directly or indirectly. There are fin s pedigree is long and untraceable; back to tried- and-true methods that will continue to evolve into better and better practices. observe folks much more knowledgeable than I deal with the subtleties of leading leaders, the art of balancing inspiration with the square-setting of responsibility, the delicate and legal workings of adventure in light of safety, and the critical work of our mission that must be preserved in a preponderance of necessary words about policy. The challenge is in how much is missing from this guide. Not just the bulleted how- are more easily referenced by a Google search, but the why part of our vision and mission. If I were to add a chapter, I would tell you stories of lives being changed. Of young men who found their strength in community; of single moms who cried out to God to send help for their sons; of brave, selfless, godly men who expended energy and time and money pouring their lives into boys who craved their time and attention; of the brotherhood developing between men who longed for and found their band in the work of mentoring boys together; of dads who, with weak or non-existent examples of fatherhood found guidance in the examples of the men around them. hearts of the men and women-----like you-----who rise to the cause to aid a generation in desperate need of godly leadership. Thank you for leading these boys. What you do matters. Your resolve, your heart, and your commitment continually remind me that Trailmen are the best men I know. Walk Worthy. Mark Hancock, CEO Trail Life USA Trail Life USA | Navigators and Adventurers Leader Guide, Revised 2017 | 30061 | 2017 0805 | 3 FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF People worry about many things, such as the environment, national security, and the Somebody should do something about these kids! But few do what you have done, show- ing complaining and started campaigning. This book was written to help you help others. You hold a very important job and no doubt you want to do it well. Training takes you from mere good intentions to the place you want to be----- confident, capable, and committed. Experience is an important avenue of growth, but training helps you to interpret your experiences in the context of a larger community and to get the most out of them. As you live the Trail Life, you will notice we are about more than youth development. It is impossible for you to associate yourself with this program without the enthusiasm and Trail Life, because it is a life- style that you can live to the hilt whether it rains or shines, whether the path is smooth or l the boys you helped shape in the image of Christ.

  • Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Council History 1910S
    Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Council History Girl Scouts has not always been as popular and successful as it is today. In fact, the organization had a somewhat humble beginning. The Movement began on March 12, 1912 with just 18 girls in Savannah, Georgia. Initially founded by Juliette Gordon Low as American Girl Guides, the name of the organization was changed to Girl Scouts in 1913. Her idea was revolutionary, for although times had begun to change, the lives of girls and women were still very limited. They had few opportunities for outdoor recreation, their career options were almost non‐existent, and, as Juliette Low observed, they were expected to be "prim and subservient." But convention did not impede Juliette Low. Her vision of Girl Scouting became a reality that actively challenged the norms that defined the lives of girls. She constantly encouraged girls to learn new skills and emphasized citizenship, patriotism, and serving one’s country. Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana History & Archive Committee invites anyone interested in preserving Girl Scout history, developing Girl Scout history related programs and events, creating historic exhibits, and/or interviewing and collecting oral Girl Scout histories to contact the history and archive committee at [email protected] for more information. 1910s In Louisville, the first unofficial Girl Scout troop was organized in July of 1911 by Charlotte Went Butler, an outdoors‐loving 11‐year‐old, even before the Girl Scouts was officially founded in Georgia. A patrol of eight girls was formed as members of Boy Scout troop #17. The girls met in the basement of the Highland Library.

  • 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.

It seems fitting that I would develop a dissertation topic on suntanning in sunny Santa Barbara, where students literally live at the beach. While at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), I have had the fortunate experience of learning from and working with several remarkable individuals. First and foremost, my advisor Bruce Robertson has been a model for successfully pursuing both academic and curatorial endeavors, and his encyclopedic knowledge has always steered me in the right direction.

  • 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.

National Board of Directors It is my honor and privilege to applaud the achievements of the recipients of the 2017 Congressional Award Gold Medal. These outstanding 373 young Americans have challenged themselves and made lasting contributions to local communities across this great nation. This is our largest class of Gold Medalists to date! The Gold Medal Ceremony is the culmination of a long journey for our awardees. For each participant the journey was unique, but one that likely included many highs and lows. The Congressional Award program was designed to instill a wide range of life skills and attributes that are necessary to navigate and overcome obstacles on the path to success - both in the classroom and beyond. And now that each young person has met these challenges and attained their goals, we hope they will continue to amaze and inspire us by pursuing their passions, utilizing their talents, and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to extend our great appreciation to our partner organizations and sponsors for their continued support.
