Camp Wiley a Cub Scout Resident Camp

Dear Cub Scout Leaders and Parents:

It has come to our attention that many of the Scouters in our Council may still not be aware that the California Inland Empire Council does indeed operate a resident camp designed specifically for Cub Scouts. That camp is Camp Wiley located in the San Jacinto portion of the San Bernardino National Forest near Idyllwild California.

We are particularly proud of our camp and want to extend a personal invitation to every Cub Scout in our Council to come up and see what we have to offer. We accept Cub Scouts from Tiger through Webelos and have designed our program to conform to the latest program structure from National Boy Scouts of America.  If you’re looking for an opportunity for your Cubs to advance in your Dens and Packs this is a great place to do it.  We do encourage parents to attend with their Cubs, but recognize that is not always possible and allow for a 1 adult to 4 Cub ratio.

Our camp is nationally accredited by the BSA National Camp Accreditation Program and Camp Wiley has a history of many years of proven success and happy campers. We have a top notch, professional staff, many of whom have been on the staff roster for a number of years. Rest assured your Cub will receive individual attention and be treated like they are the most important camper for the entire time they are there.

Camp Wiley offers a multitude of programs designed with the Cub Scout in mind. We have arguably the finest shooting sports program in Southern California with our BB Gun and Archery Ranges; our Aquatics Program offers nationally trained instructors to help improve swimming skills and provide a safe swimming environment in our heated pool; we offer Arts and Crafts and a terrific Nature Program; your Cubs will get to sleep under the stars and this year eat dinner with King Wiley and his Knights of the Round Table.  For those families needing a little extra help we offer a subsidy in the form of our Campership Program and the application can be found at www.BSA-CIEC.org under the Camping tab. You can also find the “Top Ten Reasons” for coming to camp on the front of our website. For any additional information please contact Sonja Villarreal at Sonja.Villarreal@scouting.org (909) 793-2463 x 130. 
SEE YA AT CAMP!

American Red Cross Wilderness & Remote First Aid Course

On the weekend of May 14 -15, 2016 ( from 0700-1830 on Saturday and 12:30 to 18:30 on Sunday) I am planning to offer the American Red Cross (ARC) Wilderness and Remote First Aid  (WRFA) course in San Clemente. WRFA program is based on the BSA Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines with enhanced content to meet OSHA's best practices for Workplace First Aid Programs. Participants must be 14 years of age and have current CPR certification from either ARC or AHA (see below for a CPR course I have scheduled prior to this WRFA course). Please be advised that the course will conform to the ARC requirements.

The class is a 16 hour course so both Saturday and Sunday attendance is required. If you would like to take this course, please sign-up with me by an email response jbrooksj@cox.net providing me with your name, course, phone number, unit and course date. I will also have a waiting list made, if necessary. The cost will be $90 for registered Scouts/Scouters. The fee is to cover ARC participant fees, the cost of materials, books, supplies, lunch and snacks. Interested scouts/adults who wish to take the course are encouraged to sign-up as soon as possible as the class is limited per ARC rules. I will also be providing participants with some additional first aid materials and supplies I think this will be helpful in addition to the WRFA required material. Please sign up ASAP. Further details will be sent later to those who enroll. Certification is valid for a two year period.

Very briefly the class objectives are to cover: identification of delayed help emergency situations; identify causes and prevention of injuries in wilderness areas; learn proper preparation for journeys into the backcountry; learn emergency actions steps for first aid response when EMS is not readily available; basic and some more advanced first aid technics; learn how to respond to an emotionally upset victim; learn short distance transfer and evacuation technics; and, experience providing wilderness first aid through the means of scenarios and simulated rescues that test knowledge and skills.

National Trails Day

The CIEC Outdoor Ethics Committee and Cahuilla Lodge Order of the Arrow together are again promoting the 2016 American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day.

June 4, 2016 is American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day, the country’s largest celebration of trails. National Trails Day events will take place in every state across the country and will include hikes, biking and horseback rides, paddling trips, birdwatching, geocaching, gear demonstrations, stewardship projects and more. America’s 200,000 miles of trails allow us access to the natural world for recreation, education, exploration, solitude, inspiration, and much more. Trails give us a means to support good physical and mental health; they provide us with a chance to breathe fresh air, get our hearts pumping, and escape from our stresses.

If your unit has a conflict with the first Saturday in June, plan your National Trails Day® event for a day or weekend that works best for you.

Explorers Assist in Honoring Law Enforcement in Riverside County

On April 28, 2016, about one hundred Police Explorers and their advisors from thirteen Riverside County Explorer Posts helped support the 38th Annual Western Riverside County Law Enforcement Appreciation Committee (LEAC) Awards Ceremony held at the Riverside Convention Center in Riverside. LEAC is a non-profit community based organization focused on annually acknowledging the sacrifice and service efforts of law enforcement officers in Western Riverside County. In addition to honoring Riverside County’s law enforcement fallen, men and women recognized by LEAC have been recommended by their departments for exemplary actions related to community service, investigative excellence, K-9 Team, lifetime achievement, and Valor. Much of the planning for this event accomplished through the efforts of dedicated volunteer community members. Without these volunteers, the event and recognition of our public servants would not be possible. The Explorer’s participation in the LEAC Ceremony is invaluable and helps to reinforce the significance of this community recognition of our public servants. Additionally, throughout the evening members of the committee repeatedly received compliments and praise for the presence, professionalism, courtesy, and cheerful helpfulness of the Explorers. The group was led by Explorers from the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station Post # 880. The Explorers helped at registration, table escorts, equipment display monitoring and other fixed positions. Their efforts were noticed and greatly appreciated. LEAC looks forward to having their participation next year.

The involved posts are as follows:

Beaumont PD #1015   Corona PD #404   Jurupa Valley Sheriff #880   Lake Elsinore Sheriff #881  Moreno Valley PD #882  
Hemet Sheriff #378   Hemet PD #910   CHP Riverside #840   Perris PD #522   Menifee PD #315   Riverside PD #714   
San Jacinto PD #347   Southwest Sheriff #884

Thoughts from the Scout Executive:

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

Medal of Honor recipient retired Col. Leo Thorsness said the following about Scouting:

"The Boy Scouts of America not only prepares young people to act heroically and courageously in times of great crisis, but it also prepares young people for life. Our country needs more people who will put in more than they will take out…and, perhaps more than ever, we need Scouting."

Prayer of St. Ignatius Loyola

Dearest Lord, 
teach me to be generous;
teach me to serve You as You deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward
save that of knowing I am doing Your Will.
