California Inland Empire Council Monday Memo |

Welcome to our November 7th, 2011 Monday Memo |
Cub Archery Shoot
Cub Archery was well attended today, despite the cooler temperatures! Four Districts were represented this week, so we had a much wider participation! Next week is our final set of Webelos shoots, and then the Shoot-off on the 19th. In the A.M. session, we had 22 Wolves and Bears shoot with slightly overcast skies and a chilly breeze. In the P.M. session, we had our first Webelos shoot. Temperatures warmed up as the sun came out, and the boys watched as the paper target was changed out from a 4x4, full sized target, to a much smaller 2x2 target! We had 24 participants
Our top 5 Shooters, who will come back for the Shoot-off on November 19th are: 5th Place: Weston M. Pack 40, Grayback District
4th Place: Nathan G. Pack 703, Mt. Rubidoux District

Voice of The Scout
 | Voice of the Scout is the first direct, consistent survey program to gather the experiences people are having with Scouting. It has been developed to represent the “customer voice” in the Journey to Excellence (JTE) performance recognition program, and will provide benchmarks over time for continuous improvement. Watch for more information as the council will launch the VOICE OF THE SCOUT in 2012! |

Check out the BSA’s new National Recruitment Campaign
Ever wish you could see the future? Now you can. You’re looking at next year’s slick, new National Recruitment Campaign — in your hands a full two months early. In the past, marketing materials were released after the first of the year. But the days of “just-in-time delivery” of these vital tools are over. “We want to provide councils with resources that meet the needs of their markets,” said Martin Walsh, department manager for Membership Impact. Everything you need for the campaign, which bears the theme “Badge of Honor,” is available now. That means professionals and volunteers like you can perfect next year’s marketing strategy before you even replace your wall calendar.
What’s the message? Like last year’s “Scouts Meet Here” materials, the new campaign targets today’s youth not by telling them why they should join Scouts but by showing them. The materials employ gritty, wish-you-were-there images of youths having the kind of rewarding fun they’ll only find in Scouting. You’ll see mud-caked Scouts participating in once-in-a-lifetime outdoors experiences. But there’s one thing you won’t see: uniforms. That’s intentional.
As the theme’s name implies, the materials embrace the importance of badges in the BSA, but they don’t hit potential recruits over the head with Rockwellian images of Scouts in long socks and campaign hats.
“One key element of this program is the badge,” said Michael Ramsey, marketing director of marketing and brand. “The research shows that our audiences identify badges with Scouting. So we’ve used the badge concept as a window into the exciting world of Scouting. Through that window potential Scouts and their families see the adventure and accomplishment of Scouting.”
The new campaign’s genius surely comes from what I call “the Kix approach.” Like that puffy breakfast cereal, the BSA’s new “Badge of Honor” materials are “Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved.” And I mean that literally. The Marketing Group actually asked the boys they’re targeting, and nine out of 10 liked the ads. Need I say more?
Click here for the National Recruitment Campaign page, where you’ll find printable and customizable fliers, billboard images, posters, yard signs, door hangers, bookmarks, Web site banners, e-mail templates, and public service announcements for TV and radio. And because Scouting embraces diversity, everything’s available in three versions: English, Spanish, and bilingual.
Check out one of my favorite TV ads below, and then see some more print materials in a slideshow below that. You’re getting tomorrow’s message, today. Now that’s Scouter-approved! Click to view slideshow.
Camp Emerson Summer Camp
Shooting, Swimming, Mountain Biking….your Scouting adventure begins at Camp Emerson/Boseker Scout Reservation. Located high on a mountaintop in cool Idyllwild, California, Camp Emerson has the best shooting sports program of any camp!

Camp Emerson has great food, an extensive merit badge program, and an exciting high adventure program for older Scouts called the E-Team. E-Team Scouts get to go climbing & rappelling, operate a black smith forge, and many other exciting activities. Camp Emerson provides a great start for new Scouts as well, with several programs geared to making them successful.
This summer there will be four weeks offered : June 24-30, July 9-14 (Monday Start), July 15-21, July 22-28 (Monday Start)
We're holding the line on camp fees again this year…only $295 per Scout if paid in full by April 15, 2012. Reserve your campsite with a $100 by December 31, 2011 and get a 2012 commemorative camp patch to wear on your uniform this spring!
