| New | Cub Scouts at Camp Wiley | | | Hello Mr. Daniszewski, This is Jenna and I'm with Eastvale Pack 803 and this was my and our Pack's first resident camp at Wiley. The programs were engaging and the staff were such great role models for our scouts! I would love for both my CubScouts to be one of the staffers one day. The range masters of archery and BB guns were just exceptional. Mr. Peaches was entertaining and so intelligent. He gave us current gun right info and told me about women shooting programs available throughout the county. Just exceptional! The archery range staffers were so knowledge and taught me how to tell if my kids were left or right eye dominated. My kids enjoyed the programs so much they never once asked me for my cell phone to play their games. They loved being in the pool and playing with their new friends during den time. I can go on and on but I really wanted to let you know that camp Wiley will be busier next year as I will make sure there is a majority of my Pack 803 attending next year! The leadership of Jeff Lambert and Nicole Fenstermaker made the camp run so smoothly. Every staffer knew and respected each other. What a group. It only makes the leadership look better when the staffers all work as a team. Btw, I personally asked for your information so that I could write to you about praising the Camp Wiley Cub Scouts program. They really know how to make CubScouting fun. The parents had a super time too. Sincerely, Jenna Chiu, Pack 803 | | New | Arrowhead Award | | | Matt Flanagan our Council Commissioner received his Arrowhead Award at our Executive Committee Meeting.

--------------------------------- "Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God." ~ Ronald Reagan
Independence Day Prayer
Lord, we stand today as our forefathers have stood before You in times gone by,
Celebrating our history and revelling in all the great things that our country has achieved.
On this day we rejoice in the favor You have graciously given us.
We thank You for the blessings of liberty, for this generation and for the generations to come.
We thank You for our independence, peace and for all those who have bravely given their lives in the defense of freedom and justice.
We thank You that Your gracious and provident hand has given us so much.
Yet as a nation and people we have not always chosen the right way.
We ask You to forgive us for these times.
On this day we commit ourselves to wholeheartedly honoring and serving You.
With everything that we are, we lay our lives before You.
Make us a generous people, A holy nation,
A people set aside to love You forever,
For the sake of the land of the brave and free,
And the peoples and nations of this world.
Today, we do not presume Your grace for our country.
Our land is in need of You,
Our people are in need of You,
Our industry and business is in need of You.
May we look only to You
This Independence Day, dependent on You.
Please come now by Your glorious Holy Spirit,
Breathe new life into the sinews of this nation.
May justice flow like rivers,
And righteousness like a never failing stream,
Until the whole of our country is covered with Your glory,
As the waters cover the sea. | |  Joe Daniszewski
