Help C.I.E.C send more Scouts to Camp Emerson & Camp Wiley in 2016!
Here are two good reasons to support the Boy Scouts Summer Camp Appeal here in the Inland Empire.
1. Leadership Training 2. Character development
Right now, Scouting is making a huge difference helping to keep our young people on a positive course in their life’s journey. One of the best places we’ve found to instill these important skills and values is at Summer Camp- a place away from home where a whole new world unfolds to them.
When a boy attends Summer Camp he learns right away what it means to be a good citizen respectful of others. He also learns how important it is to study hard if he’s to go to college to enjoy an exciting career and discover his own “American Dream.” Like local Patrol Leader Bob who explained, “Scouting gives you a lot of knowledge with different kinds of things…things you may not ever experience except at summer camp…and you learn how challenging it is to be a good leader and live life reverently!” Scouting is helping bob become a better person!
You can’t put a dollar value on self-esteem and self-confidence. But when they’re absent, we pay a tremendous price. Please help us shape the character of young Scouts so they can develop into responsible citizens. Right now, you can continue to help shape the future of our youth in our community by supporting Scouting. It costs about $325 a week to provide a summer camp experience to one Scout. Would you join me in becoming a “Scout sponsor” at $325, or possibly a “patrol sponsor” at $2600 or even a “troop sponsor” at $5200?
Help us provide a life changing experience for one or more boys. Please make you’re most generous gift possible online today—whatever level of support is right for you.
The Whitney M. Young Jr. Service Award recognizes individuals and organizations for their dedicated efforts to bring Scouting to youth in urban and rural areas.
As a young college student in the late 1960’s, Carl Stewart heard speeches by Whitney M. Young Jr., who, as executive director of the National Urban League, ranked among the period’s most widely recognized civil rights leaders.
At about that same time, Young also spoke to the 58th National Annual Meeting of the Boy Scouts of America, at which he challenged the BSA to tackle the “unfinished task of making real the dream of justice and equality” for American youngsters. Soon afterward, Young was chosen by President Lyndon B. Johnson to receive the Medal of Freedom—the nation’s highest civilian award.
Stewart found Young’s words inspiring and energizing, and along with millions of other Americans, he was shocked and saddened when Young died in a drowning accident in 1971. Read More.....

A family of Eagles
In 1915, a young man named Earl Miller Sheehan earned his Eagle Scout award. Exactly 100 years later, his great-grandson, Robert Sheehan of Chino Hills, earned his Eagle award.
But it gets better. Robert’s 85-year-old grandfather Robert Sheehan, who earned his Eagle in 1946, flew from Annapolis, Md., in May to attend his grandson’s court of honor ceremony and bequeath him the 100-year-old pin.
“I was awestruck,” said Robert, 18, who graduated from Ayala High in June. “I felt like my grandfather was passing on to me the scouting tradition in our family.”
Robert said he has the responsibility to carry on the tradition with his future sons and be a part of their life the way his grandfather and father are involved with his life.
Robert’s father, Robert Sheehan, was also a Boy Scout who earned the rank of Star. Read More.....

Eagle Scouts
Find out someone’s an Eagle Scout and you can make a few assumptions about his character right off the bat. He’s probably a leader who can handle a challenge and has a passion for helping others. This kind of quick personality assessment extends into the realm of entertainment and fiction. Well, sort of.
On screen, earning Eagle Scout is HUGE, whether Eagle Scouts in TV shows and movies are smart and levelheaded (like we expect) or in total contrast to what we esteem in an Eagle Scout. This trait provides a character with a sense of realness, making him instantly relatable to most Americans. That’s probably why creators of some of our favorite shows chose to feature characters who earned the rank.
Did you know these eight TV and film icons are Eagle Scouts?
1. Fred Flintstone: Have you seen the episode of The Flintstones where the family stumbles onto the International Cave Scout Jamboree? Did you catch the first season episode where Fred takes on the role of Scoutmaster? In these episodes we learn Fred is an Eagle Scout and Barney was a Boy Scout. While Fred’s notorious temper may not be characteristic for an Eagle, his ability to always come through for his friends and family certainly is.
2. Professor Roy Hinckley: The professor from Gilligan’s Island was incredibly accomplished, earning six degrees by the time he was 15 years old. With that kind of intelligence and discipline, it’s no surprise the professor was the youngest boy in his hometown to earn the Eagle Scout rank.
3. Hank Hill: The main character in King of the Hill is a family man with a meticulous affinity for a pristine lawn and a strong bond with his bloodhound. The show points out Hank is an Eagle Scout several times, I’ll tell you what.
4. Mr. Wilson: Of Dennis the Menace origins, Mr. Wilson is credited as an Eagle Scout in this comic strip (below). The man often pushed to his limits by a menacing, young neighbor went on to be the subject of several TV shows and movies.
5. Roy Miller: In the film Knight and Day (Mangold, 2010), Tom Cruise stars as Roy, an Eagle Scout and spy working to clear his name. He’s athletic, smart, brave and helps protect June Havens, played by Cameron Diaz.
6. Jim Lovell: In Apollo 13 (Howard, 1995), James Lovell’s mother expresses her confidence in her son’s ability to stay calm during crises – he was an Eagle Scout after all. This legendary portrayal of an Eagle is not fiction. Lovell is a Distinguished Eagle Scout in real life.
7. Capt. Jonathan Archer and Lt. Malcolm Reed: In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode “Rogue Planet” these two characters are revealed to be Eagle Scouts – proof that even a century from now, earning Eagle Scout will be an honor to talk about.
8. Daryl Bates: If teenagers needed to team up to protect their town from invading forces, you’d probably have an Eagle Scout or two leading the bunch. Daryl Bates is credited as an Eagle Scout in the original Red Dawn (Milieus, 1984).

TOP 10: Scenic hiking trails among Inland's best
Wild parts of the Inland region beg to be explored on foot.
Ten of the area’s most scenic trails, ranging from three to 30 miles, lead to forested mountains, desert canyons, lush grasslands, palm oases and panoramic vistas.
Leave no trace of your visit by taking out everything you take in, burying human waste in a 6- to 8-inch deep hole and taking home memories and photos, but no rocks, plants or wildlife.
Always carry water. Sturdy hiking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and lip balm are a good idea for any hike.
On longer, more remote trails, take other essentials: food, a map, first-aid kit, toilet paper, clothing layers, headlamp or flashlight, and fire-starter kit. A cell phone, GPS or compass are good ideas. Read More.....
