| | |  |  | July 11th, 2016 | New | Boseker Scout Reservation | | | New | The Sweet 16 of BSA Safety | | Now that we are in the middle of camping season, review these 16 safety points, which embody good judgment and common sense. These are also applicable to all activities: - Qualified Supervision. Every BSA activity should be supervised by a conscientious adult who understands and knowingly accepts responsibility for the well-being and safety of the children and youth in his or her care. The supervisor should be sufficiently trained, experienced, and skilled in the activity to be confident of his or her ability to lead and teach the necessary skills and to respond effectively in the event of an emergency. Field knowledge of all applicable BSA standards and a commitment to implement and follow BSA policy and procedures are essential parts of the supervisor’s qualifications.
- Physical Fitness. For youth participants in any potentially strenuous activity, the supervisor should receive a complete health history from a health-care professional, parent, or guardian. Adult participants and youth involved in higher-risk activities (e.g., scuba diving) may have to undergo professional evaluation in addition to completing the health history. The supervisor should adjust all supervision, discipline, and protection to anticipate potential risks associated with individual health conditions. Neither youth nor adults should participate in activities for which they are unfit. To do so would place both the individual and others at risk.
- Buddy System. The long history of the “buddy system” in Scouting has shown that it is always best to have at least one other person with you and aware at all times of your circumstances and what you are doing in any outdoor or strenuous activity.
- Safe Area or Course. A key part of the supervisors’ responsibility is to know the area or course for the activity and to determine that it is well-suited and free of hazards.
- Equipment Selection and Maintenance. Most activity requires some specialized equipment. The equipment should be selected to suit the participants and the activity and to include appropriate safety and program features. The supervisor should also check equipment to determine whether it is in good condition for the activity and make sure it is kept properly maintained while in use.
- Personal Safety Equipment. The supervisor must assure that every participant has and uses the appropriate personal safety equipment. For example, activity afloat requires that each participant properly wear a life jacket; bikers, horseback riders, and whitewater kayakers need helmets for certain activities; skaters need protective gear; and all need to be dressed for warmth and utility as the circumstances require.
- Safety Procedures and Policies. For most activities, common-sense procedures and standards can greatly reduce any risk. These should be known and appreciated by all participants, and the supervisor must assure compliance.
- Skill Level Limits. Every activity has a minimum skill level, and the supervisor must identify and recognize this level and be sure that participants are not put at risk by attempting any activity beyond their abilities. A good example of skill levels in Scouting is the swim test, which defines conditions for safe swimming on the basis of individual ability.
- Weather Check. The risks of many outdoor activities vary substantially with weather conditions. Potential weather hazards and the appropriate responses should be understood and anticipated.
- Planning. Safe activity follows a plan that has been conscientiously developed by the experienced supervisor or other competent source. Good planning minimizes risks and also anticipates contingencies that may require an emergency response or a change of plan.
- Communications. The supervisor needs to be able to communicate effectively with participants as needed during the activity. Emergency communications also need to be considered in advance for any foreseeable contingencies.
- Permits and Notices. BSA tour permits, council office registration, government or landowner authorization, and any similar formalities are the supervisor’s responsibility when such are required. Appropriate notification should be directed to parents, enforcement authorities, landowners, and others as needed, before and after the activity.
- First-Aid Resources. The supervisor should determine what first-aid supplies to include among the activity equipment. The level of first-aid training and skill appropriate for the activity should also be considered. An extended trek over remote terrain obviously may require more first-aid resources and capabilities than an afternoon activity in a local community. Whatever is determined to be needed should be available.
- Applicable Laws. BSA safety policies generally parallel or go beyond legal mandates, but the supervisor should confirm and assure compliance with all applicable regulations or statutes.
- CPR Resource. Any strenuous activity or remote trek could present a cardiac emergency. Aquatic programs may involve cardiopulmonary emergencies. BSA strongly recommends that a person (preferably an adult) trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) be part of the leadership for any BSA program. This person should be available for strenuous outdoor activity.
- Discipline. No supervisor is effective if he or she cannot control the activity and individual participants. Youth must respect their leaders and follow their directions.
Have a SAFE and enjoyable camping season! |

New | Scouts on a Trip of a Lifetime | | Defensive football players and Boy Scouts Michael Porter and Gideon Hankins are once again on a trip of a lifetime together. Having attended the 2013 National Jamboree together, the two Scouts find themselves wearing their country’s flag again for the United States National Football Team. USA Football, the sport's national governing body and top youth development program, will hold Development Games in four locations across the country this July, allowing invited players a chance to work with NCAA coaches and former NFL players. Participants will also compete in 7-on-7 and full-length games. The two Scouts participated in the Games in Davis, California, from Tuesday July 5th through Saturday July 9th. The two Scouts hailing from Norco and Apple Valley, California also participated in a two-day regional development camp in Mission Viejo in April, and both were selected to move on to participate in the Development Games. The Games also serve as an evaluation for spots on the US National team roster, where players compete in international games around the world. Both Scouts agree that it’s an amazing experience to represent their country overseas by playing American football, and tie the goal of international sports back to Scouting-- “We never thought of the sport I love as a bridge to peace.” Coaches from Division I and III schools were impressed with both young men, offering exposure for the student athletes as well as their schools. “It’s an awesome moment when the coach remembers you after his busy season, knows your name and can see the improvement you made over your year, too.” According to a press release from USA Football, about 180 players participate in each Development Games event, all with the opportunity to earn a spot on the national team. "I get to wear 'USA' across my chest," Hankins said. "It's a dream come true, and I hope it’s just the first time of many." | New | ScoutingWire: Eagle Edition | |  | Earning the rank of Eagle Scout is a relatively rare feat for Scouts, and rarer still is earning the rank of Eagle Scout while not actually being on U.S. soil... | |  | Construction projects form the basis of a great many Eagle Scout projects.

New | Camping in the Rain, Cold & Heat with Troop 646! | | We are Boy Scouts and we camp in all kinds of weather! The weather is one thing we can not control while on a camp out, but we can "Be Prepared" for all types of weather! In April, we were camping in the rain at the Old Baldy District Spring Camporee at Firestone in Brea, but that did not damper the Scout Spirit. Troop 646 of Alta Loma took 2nd Place in "Best Campsite" & "Best Gateway". The Trail Mix Patrol took 1st Place in the Orienteering Course. In the Dutch Oven Dessert Cookoff, we tied for 2nd place with our Pineapple Upside Cake. So, despite the rainy weekend, the Scouts and Scouters still enjoyed the friendly competitions with the other Troops in the District!  In May, we ventured up to Running Springs, where we went camping at a new (for us) site called "Shady Cove". It was really cold during the day, and got below 30 degrees at night. So cold, that there were icicles from our water container in the morning! Everyone just bundled up and continued cooking, cleaning, playing ?games ?and working on Rank Advancement! We enjoyed great food, had beautiful scenery, fresh mountain air and the place to ourselves and it was an awesome camp out!  We started off the Summer camping at another new area for us called Meadow Group. This campsite was located in the Angeles National Forest in La Canada. The Chilao Campground was near, as well as the Chilao Visitor Center. We camped here when it was in the 100's at home, so it was fairly hot, about 88 degrees. The Scouts worked on their Scout Skills and Rank Advancement. To cool off a bit, we decided to go to the Visitor's Center and it was really neat, there were a lot of cool animals and plants on display. So, even though it was very warm while camping, we still had a great time and we also enjoyed Strawberry Shortcakes with Whipped Cream for dessert Saturday night to cool off!
