Upcoming Youth Trainings

 

Foxfire: Youth Leadership Training

Date:    June 6 - 13, 2015 (Saturday Morning - Saturday Morning) - Online Registration

Additional Resources:  Click Here for Flyer

Foxfire will take what a Scout learned at National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) and bring it to a whole new level.  Scouts will work as a crew to complete many challenges put before them, including: Dutch oven cooking, tomahawk throwing, black powder rifle shooting, forging, and other team building games and activities.  Beyond developing a better understanding of the leadership skills taught at NYLT, Scouts will gain knowledge that will help them in the “real world” including resume writing and interview skills.  Scouts that have completed Foxfire are sought after for positions on camp and event staffs due to Foxfire’s emphasis on staff development.  Foxfire is a unique experience that should be the goal of any youth in our council.

To attend Foxfire, a youth must be 14 years old, have completed NYLT, and if a Boy Scout, have completed Star rank. There is only one course of Foxfire available, so sign up early.

NYLT: National Youth Leadership Training

Additional Resources: Flyer 

Course Dates:  June 15 - 20, 2015 Online Registration  Co-ed

Youth Protection Training Update

 

Greetings Inland Empire Scouters,

As you may recently learned Scouting’s Western Regional Youth Protection Task Force has instituted new Youth Protection (YP) goals effective June 30, 2015.  The goals are intended bolster Scouting’s commitment to being the PREMIER youth serving organization in the Nation.  To that end, all Western Region Councils will be working harder to achieve 100% Youth Protection Training (YPT) for our adult scouting leaders.

Our new goals are as follows:

1.      Current YPT is mandatory for all new registrations and re-chartering.

2.      YPT must be completed annually.

a.      Additionally, it is important to note that YPT training should be renewed before it expires so there are no gaps in a Scouter’s training being current.

Achieving these goals is very doable however, it will involve paying more attention to our adult leaders’ training records and ensuring that new leader applications include a copy of the YPT certificate.  The leadership of each Crew, Post, Troop, and Pack will have to be proactive Unit YPT Champions!

Youth Protection Training can be easily accomplished via the Internet through www.myscouting.org

Recognizing that not every leader has internet access, our Council, with the assistance of our district and unit leaders, will work to support additional Youth Protection Training opportunities. These could be accomplished through sessions at our 'Roundtables" and individual unit meetings by making available computer or video based learning/testing material.

All of this is geared towards the protection of our youth members.  As Deputy Chief Scout Executive Gary Butler put it, “Youth Protection will become so engrained in the BSA culture that it is second in recognition only to the Scout Oath and Scout Law.”

Don’t wait, encourage your Scouters to update their training now, the urgency of recharter season is not the time you want to be worrying about YPT.  We don’t want to drop anyone from the program.

Yours in Scouting, Joseph Cleary, CIEC Youth Protection Champion

Mt. Rubidoux District Cedar Badge

 

The rainy weather could not dampen the Scouting spirit at Cedar Badge ILST over the weekend of May 15-16.  The  rain ceased a few hours before the start of the original Cedar Badge, which is Mt. Rubidoux District’s version of BSA’s Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops that includes an overnighter and covers the Patrol Leader Handbook. The course drew 41 Scouts (and formed into seven patrols) to the training held at the LDS church on Blaine Street in Riverside. A troop from 29 Palms sent five Scouts to Cedar Badge because, a leader told us, we have a rep of  putting on one terrific show! That we did with Scouts learning about the patrol method and a boy-led troop, playing team-building games that focused on leadership skills, and singing lots and lots of songs (and going a little cuckoo over one!). With a theme of Marvel Heroes, the course was populated by mighty Thors, hulking Hulks and heavy metal Ironmen, among others. Good food, a super staff and generous servings of  “carrots” made for a memorable weekend of pure Scouting that ended with a campfire program and awards. The next edition of Cedar Badge ILST will be in October.

Venturing Rendezvous

 

Despite the weather the VOA Rendezvous had a great turnout of 70 youth and adults representing 9 Crews. Activities throughout the day and into the evening included archery, rifle shooting, shotgun shooting, roping, team building, and line dancing. Our great kitchen staff hit all the marks on our western themed weekend, by making pulled pork and ribs for Saturday nights dinner. Annual elections were held after dinner and new officers were selected. Congratulations Laura Gruendner crew 604 as President, Jonathan Stanley crew 11 as Vice President of Program, Nikolas Little crew 641 as Vice President of Administration, and Maddie Sesma crew 107 as Vice President of Communications. To end our wild western weekend we had beautiful sunshine and smiling venturers.

Over 25 participants on three different routes cleaned up trash and debris all around Bergamont Park, up and down Van Buren and down Krameria to Mark Twain Elementary. By participating in this annual Great American Clean-Up, these scouts and their families were part of a larger collective effort of more than 4 million participants in over 20,000 communities across the country. Team Leader Diane Skiff says, "Let's remember that service to the community is a big part of the scouting experience. Little scouts can make a big difference if you just give them a chance."
