Campership Thank You Notes

 

Dear Campership Committee,

Thank you for supplying money for me to go to camp. My favorite part was shooting BB guns, archery and going to the gift shop. My pack did 5 skits. My favorite skit was "it's all you fault". I got to learn how to fold a flag for the first time. Being at camp was soo much fun. I want to go next year.

Thank you, Logan C.


Dear Campership Committee,

I had a really fun time at Camp Wiley. I just wanted to tell you I really appreciate you giving me money so I could go. My favorite activity was STEM. I also got the marksmanship award for scoring 42 points in archery and 60 points in BB gun. I was soo excited!

Thank you, Jacob C.

Adult Leadership Standards Update and Resources

 

Today, the National Executive Board ratified a resolution that removes the national restriction on openly gay adult leaders and employees. The resolution was unanimously recommended for ratification by the Executive Committee earlier this month.

Effective immediately, chartered organizations will be allowed to select adult leaders without regard to sexual orientation, continuing Scouting’s longstanding policy of chartered organizations selecting their leaders. This change also enables Scouting’s members and parents to choose local units, chartered to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families.

We understand this change may generate discussion and questions among your important audiences—volunteers, chartered organizations, friends, and others. To assist you in these communications, we have developed the attached comprehensive implementation toolkit.

Also, we encourage you to visit www.scoutingwire.org and www.scoutingnewsroom.org., where you will find video of Dr. Gates speaking on this matter.

Yours in Scouting, Tico A. Perez, National Commissioner, Dr. Robert Gates, National President, Wayne Brock, Chief Scout Executive

Important Information on Adult Leadership Policy Change

 

On Monday, July 27, the National Executive Board ratified a resolution that removes the national restriction on openly gay adult leaders and employees. The resolution was recommended for ratification by the Executive Committee earlier this month. Of those present and voting, 79 percent voted in favor of the resolution.

Watch the video below to hear the important message from Dr. Robert M. Gates on the adult leadership policy change and read his remarks here

We understand this change may generate discussion and questions among your important audiences—volunteers, chartered organizations, friends, and others. To assist you in these discussions, read on to understand five key facts about adult leadership standards.

1.       The National Executive Board ratified a resolution that removes the national restriction on openly gay adult leaders and employees. The resolution is effective immediately.

2.       Chartered organizations will continue to select their adult leaders. Religious chartered organizations may continue to use religious beliefs as criteria for selecting adult leaders, including matters of sexuality.

3.       Scouting’s members and parents may continue to select local units, chartered to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families.

4.       The youth membership policy adopted in 2013 is not affected by this resolution and remains unchanged.

5.       The ideals and principles of “duty to God” and “a Scout is reverent” set forth in the Scout Oath and Scout Law remain central to Scouting.

What It Means

For the BSA: Scouting is not an appropriate environment to discuss sexual conduct. While there is no national or local council restriction on openly gay adults serving as leaders or employees, everyone agrees to follow national policies and comply with the BSA’s behavioral standards.

For Youth: Scouting is a youth program and no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference.

For Families: Parents can select units, chartered to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families.

For Adult Leaders: Unit leaders may apply for positions in units chartered to organizations with similar beliefs. At the district level and above, there is no restriction on openly gay adults serving as leaders.

For Chartered Organizations: They will continue to select adult leaders, and religious chartered organizations may use religious beliefs as criteria for selecting adult leaders, including matters of sexuality.

Moving forward, our movement will continue to focus on reaching and serving youth, helping them grow into good, strong citizens. By focusing on the goals that unite us, we are able to accomplish incredible things for young people and the communities we serve.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this policy change, questions and comments should be directed at feedback@scouting.org. You can also visit http://scoutingnewsroom.org/boy-scouts-of-america-amends-adult-leadership-policy for more information.

Check out World Record Eagle Flight From World's Tallest Building

 

Eagle has clearly learned what to look for;

Eagle knows what it wants;

Eagle has no idea of the terrain or where its target is;

and Notice 1) how smooth the flight is ... and 2) when it folds its wings for the dive that takes it directly towards its target (the trainer).

WOW just doesn't do it.

Thanks to former Council President Michael Goldware

Temecula Scouts Travel to Japan for the World Scout Jamboree

 

On Friday, July 24th, two Temecula Boy Scouts will set off with 1,600 other American Scouts and volunteers to join 30,000 others in Japan for two and a half weeks of adventure and cultural immersion shared with young people from around the world.   Brothers Matthew and Will Dull were selected as the only two Scouts representing the local Tahquitz District, and they have been preparing to attend the World Jamboree for more than a year.  Will Dull, a 17 year old Eagle Scout, says “Being able to visit Japan and to represent our country there will be an amazing experience.  I am excited to finally be going.”

The Dulls will be part of Troop 308, comprised of Scouts from all over Southern California.  Their adventure begins in Tokyo, where they will tour the city and neighboring Yokohama.  Then they take the Shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to Yamaguchi for the 10-day Jamboree.  Matthew, a 14 year old Life Scout, says, “I was lucky enough to visit Temecula’s sister city Daisen seven years ago, and now I can’t wait to go back to Japan and meet Scouts from all over the world.”

The 23rd World Scout Jamboree will take place from July 28 to August 8, 2015, held at Kirara-hama, Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.  The theme of the 23rd World Scout Jamboree is ‘a Spirit of Unity’.

Between the opening and closing ceremonies, participants will have the opportunity to take part in literally hundreds of activities focused on discovering new cultures, the environment, sustainable development and global development issues. Taking a break from the main Jamboree site with its 30,000 participants, select Scouts from the USA contingent will also take part in a moving visit to the Peace Park in the Center of Hiroshima. This part of the Jamboree program will take Scouts in mixed groups from almost every nation on earth to experience the solemn and reflective atmosphere created in the Peace Park.

Chief Scout of the UK, TV personality Bear Grylls says, “Over the course of the Jamboree, Scouts will be able to meet people from around the world, take part in amazing adventures and experiences, and be challenged to think about global issues in a new light. That is why Scouting is one of the greatest youth movements on earth and why I am so proud to be part of it.”
