| New | Learn the Latest on Preventing Youth-On-Youth Incidents | | | The BSA places the greatest importance on creating the safest environment possible for our youth members. To that end, ScoutingU has created some additional Youth Protection training resources for professionals, volunteers, and leaders regarding the prevention of youth-on-youth incidents that may occur within the context of Scouting, especially in a camping or overnight setting. This information is designed to help prepare adult leaders to prevent and appropriately respond to these incidents.

camping with the Boy Scouts Troop 14. I learned to shoot a rifle, a shot gun. I learned how to carve, how to tie knots,
how to treat an open wound. I had a good breakfast lunch and dinner. Sincerely, Paul D, Troop 14. | | New | Is Your Eagle Scout Portrait on the Eagle Honor Wall at Council Headquarters? | | |

Read more | | | | | New | Seth's Blog: Endless September (10 Quick Rules) | | | Every year, IT professionals at colleges have to deal with an influx of newbies, all of whom ask precisely the same questions as the newbies did last year. It's Sisyphean. Of course, every day on the internet is like September, because there are always newbies, or people who didn't get the memo. The internet is a connection machine, a community. It has swimmers and lifeguards, givers and takers, the honest and the grifters... Here are ten things to remember, feel free to share with those that are less experienced. Happy September: - Don't hit 'reply all' to an email unless you have a really good reason. And don't write, "take me off this list" to a listserv, because everyone on the list will probably get your note. That's been true for thirty years and it's still true.
- You may think you can recall a sent email, but you probably can't. Best to breathe three times before you hit send.
- Don't type in all caps.
- Don't buy anything on the phone (or by email) from a stranger, especially anything having to do with your small business, your computer, your Google listing or a charity. Just hang up.
- Everything you click on or surf on or do online is being recorded somewhere. Act accordingly.
- Backup your data, get tenant's insurance and turn on 'Find my iPhone' on your Mac.
- When in doubt, restart your computer. If that doesn't work, visit duckduckgo and type in your question. You'll be amazed at how many people have had the problem you're having.
- To become an expert in something, you're going to need to read more than the first link that comes up in a search. And before you forward something you're not an expert in, check Snopes.
- Offer help on something you're good at to the community at least three times before you ask that community for help. Someone is always coming up behind you.
- Don't believe everything you read online. In fact, don't believe most of it.

Joseph & Leah Daniszewski | | | Cartoon Corner | | | Thoughts from the Scout Executive: | | 
| | | Positive Quote & Poem
-------------------------------- "If a man is called to be a street-sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well." -Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) American Civil Rights Leader As We Remember 9/11 When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephant’s lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe briefly, Our eyes briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid promised walks never taken. Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent on their nature, now shrink, wizened. Our minds formed, and informed by their radiance, fall away. We are not so much maddened as reduced to the unutterable ignorance of dark, cold caves. And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always, irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing, electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us They existed, they existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.
