BSA Three Fires Council Case for Support The Next Generation Capital Campaign 2 Mission Statement It is the mission of The Boys Scouts of America to serve others by helping to instill values in young people and in other ways prepare them to make ethical choices over their lifetime in achieving their full potential. The values we strive to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Scout Oath On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. Scout Law A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. 3 . 4 CAMPAIGN VISION Three Fires Council is committed to securing a future for Scouting that provides the best programs, leadership and facilities to attract, engage, retain and serve more youth. The Next Generation Campaign is vital to our continued success. The Next Generation Campaign will: • Ensure we have the right facilities with the capacity and technology to accommodate all levels of scouting • Increase our membership through enhanced and relevant experiences • Build sustainable facilities in natural settings to promote outdoor and indoor learning experiences 5 In Scouting, camps are outdoor classrooms for learning about life and leadership. From the bird’s eye view at the top of a zip line to the hook on the end of a fishing line, Scouts are taught to see the world with new eyes, to try new things and to attempt the unknown. Through planning trips to the establishment of a patrol at a campsite, boys learn what it is to be a leader. They organize their troop, address tasks to be accomplished and even cajole friends to get their jobs done. From camp creation to clean-up, Scouts are taught the values of conservation and sustainability. 6 “What I learned about leadership, I learned at Scout Camp working in my patrol.” Rex Tillerson CEO of ExxonMobil For many Scouts, Camp provides the initial experience of sleeping under the stars, hearing rain on a tent, and experiencing the dark and silence away from the city. Scouts will see raccoons, skunks, deer, eagles, hawks and all kinds of creepers and crawlers in the wild. Camp is a place where Scouts complete merit badges that may become a lifelong interests – badges that also mark their achievements in their journey from First Class to Eagle. Simply put… Great Camps Make Great Scouts! 7 CAMP FACILITIES Three Fires Council is fortunate to have two camp properties. Camp Big Timber | Elgin, IL - a 70 Camp Freeland Leslie | Oxford, WI - acre suburban wooded oasis in the a 454 acre wooded and rural retreat heart of the Council’s four-county located in central Wisconsin. service area. 8 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Freeland Leslie Camp Freeland Leslie (CFL) is the site of the annual summer camp program. Serving 2,000+ Scouts and adult volunteers, this 454-acre camp surrounds a beautiful lake suitable for many aquatic activities. CFL is also used for weekend camping for in and out of Council troops. With expansion plans for winter, high adventure and family facilities, camp use will expand to year round usage. Camp Big Timber Camp Big Timber (CBT) is a 70-acre camp that serves all Scouting programs. It is close and accessible for Council units. In the course of a year, thousands of Scouts and adult volunteers frequent CBT for camping, day camps, camporees, Order of the Arrow weekends and training events. With the improvements envisioned in our master plan, CBT will be suitable for family camping, hosting major training events, offering large Council and District events, supporting multiple unit camping and offering winter program opportunities. 9 NEXT GENERATION With the Next Generation Campaign, we are committing to a new vision for our camps – a vision that reflects both the needs of today’s Scouts and Scouting families and a commitment to sound master planning values such as minimum impact, conservation and sustainability. 20 YEAR MASTER PLAN: The Board, committees and leadership of Three Fires Council have been working with architects who have expertise in camp design and facilities. The goal - a twenty-year master plan for both of the Council’s camp properties: Camp Big Timber in Elgin and Camp Freeland Leslie in Wisconsin. We are planning for camps that respond to the expectations of next generation of Scouts, adults and families – camps that can be models for delivering the Scouting program. The master plan brings together our past and future. 10 CAMP FACILITIES A total build-out of the master plan as envisioned today will take tens of millions of dollars. Thus, the Board has made a decision to focus the first phase of activity on three major facilities: Camp Freeland Leslie The first, and most transformational step, is to design and build a multi-purpose Heart of Camp Building. This facility will include a dining room and commercial kitchen. It will be designed to seat up to 450 which will allow the program, camping and professional management teams to increase capacity and the program experience for the Scouts. By adding program support for further activities such as teaching and leadership training, a health center, a storm shelter and merit badge teaching pods, the building will truly become a vital center of activity - the physical and symbolic Heart of Camp. 11 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Freeland Leslie – Heart of Camp Building • Dining for 450+ • Covered porch with lake views • Expanded waterfront & recreation spaces • High capacity kitchen with muck truck loading for patrol method cooking • Seasonal offices & bunkhouse with kitchenette and showers 12 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Freeland Leslie – Master Plan Overview Heart of Traditional Camp Camp Webelos / High Adventure Camp Lake Emrick Family Camp 13 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Freeland Leslie – Master Plan Overview Traditional Camp Heart of Camp Webelos / Lake Emrick High Adventure Camp Family Camp 14 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Big Timber The K-Lodge, named for Kiwanis International, plays a similar role as a central gathering, dining and program area. More than just an expanded dining hall, this reimagined Heart of Camp Building will meet the needs of modern Scouting while allowing flexibility for multi-purpose use. Dining for 200+. Overnight camping. Additional meeting and program spaces. Modern audio- visual technology. Plus broad sheltering porches and an outdoor mustering/gathering/event space complete with a pergola and fire ring will maximize indoors and outdoor engagement. The STE(A)M, Storage and Service Compound reflects a changing dimension of Scouting.A portion of this space will be dedicated to robotics and engineering programs. It will also provide much needed program storage and maintenance facilities. 15 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Big Timber – Heart of Camp Building & STE(A)M, Storage and Service Compound 16 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Big Timber – Master Plan Overview 17 CAMP FACILITIES Camp Big Timber – Master Plan Overview Front Door Heart of Adventure Camp Reclaim the Creek Camp Entrance Existing Building / Site Amenity New Building / Site Amenity 18 IMPACT Opportunity for Year Exciting and Fun A “Rustic State Park” Feel Round Programming Activities Will Yield Will Make it More Attractive Increased Participation To First-time Scouts and Their Families Momentum is Building – Construction Completed Rifle Range Shotgun Skeet & Trap Range Archery Range (2014) (2015) (2016) 19 OBJECTIVES NEXT GENERATION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN $3,500,000 PHASE 1 CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES Camp Freeland Leslie Heart of Camp Building Camp Big Timber Renovated & Expanded Heart of Camp Building (K-Lodge) Terraced Camp Site and Bivouac Relocated Parking STE(A)M, Storage And Service Compound Architecture, Engineering, Site Prep and Fundraising Costs 10% Set Aside for Camp Maintenance Endowment 20 “A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different, because I was important in the life of a boy.” ~ Forest Witcraft ~ Boy Scouts have become leaders in every industry.

It was during that summer that Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow at Treasure Island Scout Camp in the Cradle of Liberty Council. Goodman and Edson established a legacy of servant leadership that we still embody today, 90 years later, and with 180,000 members nationwide, that legacy is stronger than ever. In 2005, the Order of the Arrow reached new heights in Scouting through the development of new and innovative programs and through a renewed emphasis on the principles behind the founding of our Order. The year saw the creation of a new high adventure program, the launching of a new training program at Philmont, and the successful support of the 2005 National Scout Jamboree. It was a busy year for the Order with our extensive programming. With the strength and dedication of our members we were able to, once again, achieve great things.

Located in the AID Behavioral Health Services building in Aurora, “The Living Room” model provides a calm, safe and non- stigmatizing environment as an alternative to emergency room presentation for psychiatric assessment and intervention for individuals experiencing stressful situations and/or suicidal ideation. The Living Room is unique because it offers peer counselors with personal experience in managing the challenges of mental illness and provides: crisis intervention, support and mentoring with assistance from clinicians. “The Living Room is a forward thinking program to keep people from having to present in the emergency room when they are depressed,” explains Joanne Furnas, Director of Crisis & Outreach services at AID, “The Living room provides assistance with case management and referral.” Despite the Living Room being fully constructed (made possible by the generous support from Ginger Evans & Doug Pattison of the Zellmer Wellness Foundation and the leadership of AID Board Member Inez Toledo) AID is still looking for the proper funding to make this project fully operational.
