The following courses are required: (1) Y01 Youth Protection Training (2) D76 Merit Badge Counselor Orientation

Request for Assistance:
While many District have scheduled the Merit Badge Counselor Orientation a few times each year, we as a council advancement group need to find a way to share this training with other Districts to ensure that all possible Merit Badge Counselors can find an opportunity to take this training course to become Trained Leaders.

Please get back to me with your District Training Dates for this D76 Merit Badge Counselor Orientation. We will develop a schedule for this training to share with all of our Districts.

Summary of Responses:
In response to the request to assist in providing the necessary trainings required to be a Merit Badge Counselor:

Currently have training session scheduled tentatively in June, one set in July, and more in the works for the rest of the year. When these gets firmed up, will let you know. As for sharing the schedule Council-wide, perhaps adding the dates and locations onto district's calendars at the website would be a good start.

ArrowTour West

Attached please find the ATWest Master Schedule. Please take a few moments to carefully review the day of your event. Check our mileage and drive times to your venue and all the details of your event, the street addresses and times. If you see anything that could be a concern, let us know. There are a lot of moving parts to this project and the more people that carefully check the details, the less likely it will be to discover a problem the day of an event. Keep in mind the roads, weather, traffic and possible weather problems. Thanks for your help.

If you have not uploaded or emailed your venue photos, now would be a great time to take care of it. We need to take a look and make sure there aren’t any surprises when we arrive. In your Google drive you will find maps and some photos we have downloaded from Google maps and MapQuest.

Marketing and publicity are very important. Make sure ArrowTour is included on your

1. Lodge and council calendar and web pages
2. On all your social media
3. In your lodge and council E-newsletters
4. Handouts at lodge, council and district events and meetings
5. Announcements everywhere people are gathered

Don’t forget word of mouth to Arrowmen, Scouters, family and friends.

Please check your Google drive and check things off the list that are done. If you have completed some items and we haven’t noticed, let us know.

Some items that continue to need your attention:

1. Keep the contact list on the Google drive up to date
2. Add the names of your 20 local staff
3. Post the photos of the venue or email them to us
4. Fill in the local enhancements form as you plan your event
5. Marketing and publicity
6. Make sure your local ArrowTour committee is energized and communicating on a regular basis
7. Ask any questions you have at atweststaff@western.oa-bsa.org

I will email the primary contact in each of our host councils asking for one cell phone number we can call the morning of our event, someone that will be at the event venue when we arrive and someone that can deal with complications in our travel schedule and delays in our arrival time should they occure.

Keep working on the 20 local staff members until you have put the names of all 20 on the Google drive. Remember they don’t have to be Arrowmen. They can be youth and adults that are willing and able to unload the truck and set up and run the production. Continue to think about providing food for your local staff and if possible, our ArrowTour Road Crew.

Thanks so much, your ATWest Road Crew, atweststaff@western.oa-bsa.org

Positive Quote & Prayer

“We must change boys from a ‘what can I get’ to a ‘what can I give’ attitude.”

    ~  Baden-Powell

Memorial Day Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

With a sober heart we come before You this Memorial Day. We pause for a moment and call to mind all the men and women who have died in the service of our nation since 1776.

Dear God, please look with mercy on our brave and selfless brothers and sisters, who did not shirk from their task but gave themselves completely to the cause of defending and protecting us all. Bless all who have given their lives for the sake of liberty, and grant them eternal rest with you.

We remember also our brave men and women now serving in our Armed Forces, both at home and abroad. Dear God, send out Your angels to protect them all. Help them discharge their duties honorably and well. Please bring them home safely to their families and loved ones. Please bring Your peace and mercy to our troubled world.

In Your name we pray

Amen
