Parenting Pointers

 

Parenting is a tough yet rewarding vocation.

Dr. Tim Elmore, author of Generation iY: Our Last Chance to Save Their Future, offers these 10 simple but effective parenting tips:

1. Talk to your children about issues you wish your parents would have discussed with you.

2. Hard as it is, let your children make their own mistakes.

3. Outline the consequences for any potential wrongdoing.

4. Help your kids discover and utilize their talents.

5. Set up projects that require patience and perseverance.

6. Teach your children how to balance their life’s priorities.

7. Simulate adult tasks, like paying bills; it’s never too early.

8. Introduce them to potential mentors/friends.

9. Help your kids envision a bright future—and do what you can to assist them in getting there.

10. Celebrate any progress your children make towards gaining their independence.

Children, obey your parents…for this is right. (Ephesians 6:1)

Heavenly Father, may all mothers and fathers look to You as the epitome of parenthood.

Crew 11's First JOTA

 

Crew 11 hosted their first Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) on October 15, 2016 in beautiful Wrightwood, CA.  JOTA is the largest scouting event in the world.  Over 1 million scouts using 11,000 registered stations from 150 countries are on the air the 3rd weekend in October. Guest host and experienced radio operator, Fred Stieg assisted cubs, scouts, venturers, and adult leaders contact packs and troops nationwide.  Everyone got a chance to talk to someone in a different state.  It was a great scouting experience for all!

Eerie Emerson Trading Post Update

 

Imagine my surprise today when I walked to our Trading Post. My windows have security bars on them. My little building is looking more and more like a store. It was a great day at The Trading Post. Eerie Emerson was busy so many Scouts and Family members. 

Methe the cutest little girl. I gave her my gold crown. She was so worried I wasn't going to be a princess anymore so I showed her I had a tiara. She dubbed us Princess Pirate and Princess Bubbles. Her smile made this evening the greatest ever. Always a great time working the Trading Post sharing it with Scouts and Their parents and leaders. 

It was a GREAT day!

Loving Life At The Trading Post!!!

Best Regards,

Christa 'Bubbles' Jenson

Scouting Wire

 

Leaves are falling and in some places SNOW! Scouts are nestled around their campfires and weekend service projects are in high gear.

We wanted to give you a quick update on the recovery effort for the Scouts and Scouters affected by the flooding in Louisiana. 

To date, five units in Baton Rouge have had their lost equipment and/or trailers replaced. In Lafayette, one new ScoutReach trailer, 25 tents, and 55 uniforms have been replaced. Dozens of other rebuilding efforts are happening within all of the communities. This has been possible because of the generosity of those alumni who have contributed to the funding efforts to help them rebuild.

The Scouting family cannot thank you enough!

Sincerely,

Dustin Farris ~ Director, National Eagle Scout Association

Positive Quote & Prayer
--------------------------------

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

~William Shakespeare 

 

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And you will renew the face of the earth. 

Lord, 
by the light of the Holy Spirit 
you have taught the hearts of your faithful.
In the same Spirit 
help us to relish what is right 
and always rejoice in your consolation.
Amen.
