Monday Memo 

Joseph Daniszewski Scout Executive

Good day and welcome to our October 4th, 2010 Monday Memo

W4S Conclave 

Cahuilla participated in our W4S annual Conclave at the El Monte High School this past weekend. Approximately 54 youth and adults competed with the other three Lodges in the Section for a weekend of fun, friendly competition and Section Officer Elections. Cahuilla Lodge took the Spirit Award and as well as a number of Native American competitions to include Drum and Native American dance.

Kyle Sitarski from Cahuilla was elected 2011 Section Vice Chief. The Cahuilla "CALL" was recognized as the winning Lodge Newpaper. Ian McLeod has done a fantastic job with this task.

Archery 2010

We had a great opening day for Cub Archery on Saturday, October 2nd! We had 35 boys signed up for the A.M. session, and 35 boys showed up! Because of the fantastic response, and a few issues with really eager and excited boys that needed a little reminding of the rules, we ran almost an hour and a half into the P.M. session, but the afternoon group was equally enthusiastic and very understanding. We had 35 boys signed up for the P.M. session, and 32 showed up! Both groups of boys had a great time in spite of the intense sun. I was not able to get any pictures from the event, but I do have the names of the top 5 shooters from both sessions, and they have been invited back for the Shoot-off on November 6th.
 
For the first time ever, we handed out event-specific 1st through 5th place ribbons printed for us by a local business, and they were a big hit! I have included a picture of them. We did have a glitch with the printing, as you can see in the picture, the designer thought it was a District event, (he's on the District Committee) and put 5 Nations District on them. Again, both the scouts and the scouters were wonderful and understanding. We apologized and explained what happened, and we assured everyone that next year's ribbons will not have a district name on them! That means that this year's ribbons will be collector's items, as they will be 1 of only 40 in existence! 

Here are the names of the top 5 boys in each session:   A.M.   5th Place:  Liam Wilson, Pack 210, 5 Nations District           4th Place:  Michael Morrison, Pack 23, Greyback District           3rd Place: Joey Mahood, Pack 339, Tahquitz District           2nd Place: Timothy Cavarno, Pack 23, Greyback District           1st Place:  Bryan Baez, Pack 210, 5 Nations District   P.M.   5th Place: Clayton Carlson, Pack 322, Tahquitz District            4th Place: Kenny Ricks, Pack 23, Greyback District           3rd Place: Jack Junker, Pack 24, Greyback District           2nd Place: Timmy Dull, Pack 614, Tahquitz District           1st Place: Daniel Fraser, Pack 24, Greyback District   We are looking forward to another great event on October 9th!!

Cancel That Scouting Stamp

Written by Bob Mersereau, Marketing

On July 27, more than 1,500 people gathered at the national jamboree for the first-day-of-issue of the "Celebrate Scouting" stamp . As part of the festivities, the U.S. Postal Service offered a special cancellation for jamboree-goers.

If you didn’t get one, don’t worry! Your local post office can create a special postmark, called a “pictorial cancel,” and apply it to envelopes that have a Scouting stamp, making the stamp more valuable to collectors of stamps or Scouting memorabilia.

Find out how to create a cancellation event by reading our “Engaging Your Local Post Office” guide. Each council, district, or unit can create its own design for the cancel. Here is a sample pictorial cancel used at the stamp’s first day of issue on July 27.

Some groups have already had successful cancellation events, like this one in Carbondale, Illinois. There are plenty of other opportunities to host an event. Consider inviting your local post office to your fall camporee or Scouting for Food gatherings.

You can even send an e-mail with a Celebrate Scouting stamp!

You can also encourage Scouts to bring deeper meaning to the stamp by having them place it on letters and care packages for veterans and military men and women serving overseas. Resources—including guidelines, stationery, and more—are available at Scouting.org/100years .

Our Scouting Legacy Involves You

Our 100th Anniversary Celebration was created with Scouting’s future in mind. That’s the “Continuing the Journey” part of our anniversary theme. Through the 100th, we’ve created programs and infrastructure that will continue to offer benefits long after the last day of our celebration. One of our programs, Generations Connection, will reach its pinnacle in the spring of 2011—and everyone is invited to join in building the Scouting legacy through the Centennial Forest. 

Until the last day of 2010, we’ll be working toward our goal of planting 100,000 BSA Centennial Trees from the Arbor Day Foundation (ADF). Everyone can still help, and fall is the ideal time of year for planting trees! But don’t forget, thanks to our ADF partnership, the tree-planting can continue year-round. Instead of having a tree shipped to your home, you can donate both trees (the one you purchased and the matching tree from ADF) to the Centennial Forest. Every tree gets us closer to the goal! Now, about that forest …

We wanted to take advantage of the entire anniversary year to capture the match for our tree-planting efforts. Next spring, the results of everyone’s hard work and contributions will be evident as a section of the Flathead National Forest is replanted with trees for the BSA Centennial Forest. We’ll be using tree species that are ecologically essential to the area in northwestern Montana—some of the trees will provide sustenance to the endangered grizzly bear, which has suffered as a result of its damaged habitat. We want every Scout, Scouter, and volunteer in the nation to feel like they can play a part in this momentous planting event next spring! Here’s how you can start thinking about getting involved (and don’t worry, we’ll keep you posted on the date and other key details!):

• Come join us! We welcome help from volunteers from anywhere in the country who would like to make the journey to beautiful Montana and help to plant a piece of Scouting history.
• Can’t make the trek? No problem. Plan your own council, district, or unit tree–planting event to coincide with the national forest planting. YourSource now has a Centennial Forest toolkit that can help you turn this national story into a great local opportunity. Share plans for your local event with us, and the Arbor Day Foundation will select and reward one council, district, or unit with a park makeover! One of your local parks will be planted with 100 large BSA Centennial Trees.
• Make it a family affair. This can be an opportunity to create a meaningful family experience and a lasting memory. Think about taking a family trip to Montana, where everyone can participate in planting the Centennial Forest. Rent a cabin in the Flathead and explore surrounding hiking trails and fishing areas, or experience the beauty of Glacier National Park. This is surely an adventure that won’t be soon forgotten!  

Do you think you might be interested in joining the Centennial Forest planting, either with your council, district, unit, or family? We’d like get a sense of interest. Let us know by e-mail at 100yearanniversary@netbsa.org. 

P.S. If you weren’t able to join us for Wednesday’s webinar, “Ending the Year Strong,” or if you’d like to review it, a recorded version is now available. While you’re thinking about 100th Anniversary year-end planning, you may want to review this best practices document.

Together, launching our second century of service!
