While “Join Scouting Night” has a decidedly Cub Scout emphasis, Boy Scout Troops also benefit from the event and are asked to take an active part in providing assistance during the event.

The Unit Commissioner Unit commissioners help units succeed with a good program that attracts and retains youth members. Perhaps no other member of the unit service team has a more important or demanding responsibility. As friends, coaches, and counselors of unit leaders, unit commissioners operate quiet- ly, generally in the background. They are effective communicators, provid- ing the resources of the district and council to the units they serve. (National Youth Leadership Training 2017 – Quapaw Area Council) To help units succeed, today’s commissioners must be people-oriented more than procedure-oriented.

    Camp Rockefeller Cub Family Camps Spring 2017 Parent’s Guide and Registration Forms What Do Boys Want from Scouting? When a boy becomes a member of the Boy Scouts of America, one of his first questions is, “When do we go camping?” The Cub Scout program offers a variety of opportunities that include day camps, pack campouts, family camping, and Webelos overnighters. Each of these experiences have a different dynamic that gives the boy and his friends and family an appreciation for the outdoors. Camping and outdoor activities fulfill a boy’s dreams of fun, excitement, and adventure. Camps provide a natural setting for quality time with family and friends. Scout council camps with trained staffers provide an ideal setting for a wide variety of activities. Who Can Attend? The whole family is invited to attend Cub Scout Family Camp. Anyone in the family (immediate or extended) may attend any of the Cub Scout Family Camps hosted at Camp Rockefeller on Gus Blass Scout Reservation, if there is one registered Cub Scout in the family. How much does it Cost? Every effort is made to keep costs low while providing a safe, fun event for you and your family. The registration fees below cover food, craft supplies, sporting good supplies, insurance, and incidentals to keep a camp open (like electricity, permits, equipment repair, etc.). Cub Scouts will receive an event patch as part of their fees. Most of the overhead costs of keeping Camp Rockefeller operating is offset by Friends of Scouting and other donations. The base cost per person to attend camp is $20.

    SCOUTER The Mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. 2 ~ MARCH/APRIL 2009 HOORAY FOR HEROES Scouter “We have been following the plan!” “We have been following the plan!” Sometimes it’s beyond my reach to fi nd an inspirational Scouting topic to share with everybody who actually reads this article (all 55 of you at last count!). Then again, sometimes ideas just materialize out of the blue! Each February, as anyone who has been in Scouting for fi ve minutes knows, is our month to celebrate the anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America and for every Cub Scout pack in the United States (and beyond) to put on a spectacular Blue and Gold banquet. This past February 28, I had the opportunity to be a guest of Cub Scout Pack 3026 in Allegan. (Thank you Cubmaster Frank Andrews and leaders!) What a fantastic Blue and Gold program and an extremely well run Cub Scout Pack! Now, your question to me should be: “What are your criteria for making such a statement?” Well, I am glad you asked (you did ask, right? ). Here are the quality points I watched for: 1) Super cool invitation related to the Blue and Gold theme 2) Cub Scout greeters at the door 3) Well laid-out and colorful, themed items throughout (wall decorations, table centerpieces, etc.) 4) Reserved places or tables for guests 5) Well thought-out dinner or food service plan 6) Seating by dens with each parent having a table role to perform 7) Lots and lots of properly uniformed
