Thank You Campership Committee

 

Council Officers,

My name is Thomas and I am a First Class Scout. I am 13 years old and I was born with Down's Syndrome. I had my Dad
write this letter for me because its still very hard for me to write and speak however I do know how to read a little bit. I
wanted to write this letter to thank the Council for the campership which allowed me to attend Camp Emerson a few weeks
ago. I have one brother his name is Christian and right now he is a Senior Patrol Leader for Troop 2 and I am very proud of him.
It's a little bit hard for my family to send both of us to camp so most years we have had to take turns so I did not get to go to
camp last year. Also since I have Down's Syndrome I can't go to camp by myself because I still need a lot of help with my
merit badges so either my mom or my dad have to go to camp with me. Thanks again for your gift of a campership I had alot
of fun at Emerson and I made lots of new friends and they were all very polite and nice to me.

Yours Truly, Thomas A, Troop 2.

A Scout is Helpful: Louisiana Scouting Families Need Your Donations

 

As Scouts, we are committed to helping other people at all times.

Over the past several weeks, our friends and families in the state of Louisiana have
experienced catastrophic flooding. In all, 20 of the state’s parishes — spanning
three local councils — have been declared federal disaster areas. The flooding
has been called a "historic, unprecedented flooding event," and is the worst natural
disaster to hit the United States since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Efforts will continue
for weeks and months to come in response to the devastating aftermath.

Today, we are turning to you, our professional Scouting family, in a nationwide appeal
to ask you to please consider a donation to help these communities restore a sense of normalcy.

We have established two ways to give:

The first option to donate has been established by BSA’s National Foundation
(http://scouting.kintera.org/emergencyrelief). The National Council will utilize
these donations to the National Emergency Assistance Fund to respond to
emergencies here and in other communities.
The second option has been set up and managed by local councils for those who
prefer donating via text message.To participate, simply text the phrase
Scouts4Scouts to the number 41444 and follow the instructions in the reply to
make a tax-deductible donation.

The early financial support we have received is gratifying, but much more is needed.

I have asked Southern Region Director Ron Oats to lead and coordinate a response to support
Scouts, volunteer leaders, and local council staff members who need assistance. The National
Service Center is committed to:

Providing financial support for staff who have suffered severe loss or damage to personal property.
Helping affected troops and packs replace damaged equipment through a $2,500 gift per unit.
Helping affected Scouts replace uniforms and handbooks that were lost in the flood.
Providing registration and re-chartering fees for a year for affected families.
Covering the fees for affected Scouts who are planning to attend the 2017 National Jamboree.

We are fortunate to be blessed with employees who give so much of themselves to Scouting.
Due to the severity of this situation, however, I am humbly asking you to go above and beyond to
help those in need.

Yours in Scouting,

Mike Surbaugh

When and how to file an incident report if things go wrong on a Scouting outing

 

Thanks to the BSA’s array of safety programs, Scouting boasts an impressive safety record.
Although the program includes many potentially risky activities — rock climbing, whitewater
rafting, rifle shooting, etc. — Scouts are typically safer at camp than driving to camp. However,
while rare, incidents do occur. And so do what the BSA calls “near misses.” The BSA’s incident
reporting strategy ensures that the right people are notified, an appropriate and timely response
occurs, and that everyone can learn from what happened.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN INCIDENT? Loosely defined, a health and safety incident is any
unplanned event that results in harm to an individual, property or the environment. Examples include
injuries (ranging from minor to life-threatening), outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, vehicle accidents,
property damage, the closure of a program area because of safety concerns, and the death of a Scout
or volunteer. Any incident that requires the intervention of medical personnel, involves emergency
responders or results in a response beyond Scout-rendered first aid must be reported. Youth Protection
incidents are defined as any occurrence of abusive or inappropriate behavior in which a report to, or
action by, authorities, the council, unit or parents is indicated. Allegations of child abuse or
victimization of a Scout have specific reporting requirements, as described later.

WHAT’S A NEAR MISS? An unplanned event that doesn’t result in injury, illness or damage but had
the potential to do so. If injuries occurred, the incident was not a near miss. An example of a near miss
is a Scout getting lost at camp and your calling for emergency response. Near-miss reporting has been
used for decades as a means of knowing risks and preventing future incidents.

WHY SHOULD WE REPORT INCIDENTS? To ensure that the organization can respond in an
appropriate manner and be prepared to handle any ensuing allegations or claims. Incident reports also
help the BSA develop policies to prevent future occurrences.

WHAT ARE THE BSA’S REPORTING REQUIREMENTS? It’s as simple as gathering the facts: who,
what, where, when, why and how of the incident. Then inform your council Scout executive or Enterprise
Risk Management Committee staff adviser. The Incident Information Report (No. 680-016) is a tool to
help you ask the right questions; it can be found on the Scouting Safely website (scouting.org/scoutingsafely)
and in the appendix of the Guide to Safe Scouting. For a catastrophic incident, after getting help for injured
parties, notify your Scout executive immediately. The Guide to Safe Scouting details the reporting instructions
for other types of incidents.

WHAT IF THE INCIDENT INVOLVES ALLEGATIONS OF CHILD ABUSE OR INAPPROPRIATE
BEHAVIOR?Use the Youth Protection/Membership Incident Information Form (No. 680-676) to gather data.
Note that this form contains confidential information and must be forwarded directly to the Scout executive
as soon as possible.

IF I REPORT ALLEGED CHILD ABUSE TO THE BSA, DO I STILL NEED TO REPORT IT TO THE
AUTHORITIES? Yes. You must still follow your state’s mandatory reporting requirements.

Thank You Campership Committee

 

Dear CIEC Campership Committee,

Thank you for paying for the trip to camp, I had alot of fun there. I earned a few badges, and made new friends and ate alot of food. Earning the badges were a lot of fun, making friends was kinda difficult but I'm glad that I met a lot of new people on this trip. The most fun thing I did at camp was shooting the rifles at the range. When I first got to camp, the day seemed to go by really slow, but as we did more things, like play cards, and had nap time, and finally chat with friends, the time seemed to go really fast. I really liked the food there, I lined up for seconds almost every time. Thank you for helping me have this experience, and helping my mom send me to camp. I will never forget it. 

Sincerely, Joey N, Troop 14
