I made alot of friends there and most is from troop 100. My favorite teacher chop chop the swim teacher, he gave me three rubber ducks to make me feel better after the letter my mom wrote to me the day before. I took env. science and swimming. I liked swimming the best because my father was in the high school swim team. On my free time I would help the trading post and work on swimming. I loved the hike. ~Sincerely, Devin D. |

| New | Help Us Build A Legacy: The 2016 James E. West Endowment Fellowship | | |  | A Scout Salute for all the time, talent and treasure you share on behalf of our Scouts! Would you consider joining the James E. West Endowment Fellowship in 2016? | Ralph Waldo Emerson observed that “an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man” Today, Scouting is the “lengthened shadow” of the farseeing and dedicated leadership provided by Dr. James E. West. In 1910, James E. West became the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, and he served in that position for more than three decades. The James E. West Fellowship Award is available for gifts of $1,000 and up in cash or marketable securities to the Council Endowment Fund. The gift must be in addition to and not replace or diminish the donor’s annual Friends of Scouting support. Many individuals and corporations make these gifts either on behalf of someone else, such as in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, a retirement, a special accomplishment, or anniversary or in memory of a special individual. If an institution is truly “the lengthened shadow of one man,” it is more than fitting that the BSA honor James E. West’s monumental contributions to Scouting in such a significant way. Please support our California Inland Empire Council!
What a great way to close out the old and ring in a great 2016!You may designate a family member, Scout or Scouter as a Memorial or Tribute as well.

Brad H. (Eagle 1985), Jonathan (Eagle 2015), Christopher (Eagle 2016) and Nicholas (Eagle 2016). That's four Eagles! ~Brad H. | | New | Boy Scouts to the Rescue!!! | | | A few months ago, Jake Bonacio and Dylan Fundell with Troop #257 came to the rescue of a fellow cross country runner. The runner who they attend school with had fallen on the course in a rugged, mountain terrain. Both boys put their scout skills to the test and successfully carried him off of the mountain. Then just recently, Ethan Klopping, Troop #357, helped to dislodge something in his teacher’s throat while she was choking and literally saved his teacher! All three attend the Academy for Academic Excellence in Apple Valley. Good job Scouts!!! | | New | Summer Camp on Huntington Lake! | | | Troop 646 headed up north again for their week long Summer Camp. This year we attended Camp "Oljato", located on Huntington Lake in Lakeshore, in the Forest of the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. What a great little camp the Pacific Skyline Council has there! The Scouts and Leaders had a great time hanging out for a week, going fishing, working on Merit Badges, Sailing, Shooting and breathing in the fresh air of the Sierra Nevada Mountains! The Scouts earned over 50 Merit Badges in all, and David M. earned "BSA Lifeguard". Troop 646 won the "Mountain Curling event, as well as the camp wide Pentathlon. Mr. Eimen & Mr. Saldana did a "Double Scoutmaster Belly Flop" and took First Place for that as well! Our Troop would go back to this Summer Camp in a heartbeat, the food was pretty good, the Staff was awesome and the program was great! We made memories at camp that will last a lifetime........

There’s some great info and resources for all of us. Check out page 11 and the information related to retention. Notice that there is no strong correlation between a long term resident camp or day camp to youth retention (which translates into unit retention), but there is solid evidence that a year round camping program does make a huge difference in retention numbers. Great info to share with unit leaders as we make our visits and help them develop a solid outdoor program and retention scheme. Newsletter Matt Flanagan

-------------------------------- "Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to "jump at the Sun." We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground." ~Zora Neale Hurston
(1903-1960) American Writer A Prayer of Thanks
Thank you, God, for the pleasures of summer,
the bright sunny days and perfect moonlit evenings,
the smells of mowed grass and air thick with rain.
Thank you for days at the lake
and evenings chasing fireflies,
for vacations and festivals,
picnics and cookouts,
baseball and concerts and swimsuits and popsicles.
Thank you for the fireworks of thunderstorms,
for watermelon sweetness,
for summer's pace and summer's grace,
for all your beauty and power, faithfulness and
fecundity displayed in summer, Amen. | |  Joe Daniszewski
