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.

Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

3Rd Epsom Scout Group Official History
3rd Epsom (St. Martin’s) Scout Group History 3rd Epsom Scout Group Official History Version 8 Compiled 2018 This history has been compiled from such records such as St. Martin's Church magazine, minutes of Group committees, AGMs, log books and the history of Epsom and Ewell District. Many thanks are owed to David Faulkner who has compiled the majority of the history up to 1992 together with other people associated with the Scout Group, particularly the Collins family, Leslie and Edith Clark, Michael Arthur, Shirley Quemby (nee Moore) and Richard Ascough. We hope you enjoy reading this history and feel that you then know a bit more about the Group as the longest continuous registered Group in Epsom and Ewell. Inevitably there will be omissions and errors, therefore if anyone has any additions or corrections, however small, they would be very much appreciated. Richard Ascough Group Scout Leader Version 8 Page 1 3rd Epsom (St. Martin’s) Scout Group History The 1990's This new decade started with so much happening that it is difficult to know where to begin. The programme of the refurbishment and modernisation of the HQ was now in hand and work had already started. The total cost was estimated at £24,000 and towards this the HQ Committee had "saved" about £5,000 (mainly because fundraising had continued very profitably but little work had been carried out while the lease was negotiated); and the Church had generously donated £3,000. Another benefactor now appeared in the Mayor of Epsom & Ewell, Councillor Robert Lewis who although he had no positive connection with the Group (other than that the Mayor's Secretary, Maureen Chartres, was a former parent) adopted St.

Tent Usage in the Queensland Scout Section Issue
TENT USAGE IN THE QUEENSLAND SCOUT SECTION ISSUE The value of the Qld Ridge Tent v the Bell Tent v the Dome Tent CONSULTATION PROCESS In gathering this information the following personnel were consulted: Assistant Region Commissioners Scouts; Region Leaders Scouts; District Scout Leaders; Experienced Scout Section Leaders; Current and former Branch Commissioners Scouts; Branch Advisor Scouts; Training Team Leaders and Jamboree Contingent Leaders. CONSULTATION PROCESS The following questions were put to the Leaders. Comments were emailed to the Branch Commissioner Scouts as well as most of those involved in the process. A discussion then took place at the Branch Scouters’ Council in October. * Does the Ridge Tent still have a place in our program? * Should Groups raise their own money to buy the Ridge Tents or should they be able to seek financial support to do so? * Should a supply of the Ridge Tents still be kept for tent pitching competitions? * Should the Ridge Tent be the recognised standard and the Bell Tent and the nylon Dome Tents be used for major events only? THE QUEENSLAND RIDGE TENT (Also known historically as a Queenslander or Jamboree Tent) THE QUEENSLAND RIDGE TENT (Discussion Outcomes) Positives * Erecting these tents provides an opportunity for the whole patrol to work together. Scouts learn to work as a team. It is beneficial for Patrol bonding and is one of the best sources of training in team work. The erection of the ridge tent is a basic scouting skill. * The Ridge Tent has been a staple of Scouting in Australia for generations. It is a traditional element of our program.
