District Realignment Plan

 

CIEC District Alignment Proposal

District Alignment has been discussed in the Council for many years. A District Alignment Committee was organized in August 2017 and the following proposal was presented and approved by the Executive Board on November 16th, 2017.

The following district boundaries are to be realigned and the Council will go from 10 Districts to 7 as outlined below:

The following Districts are not impacted by this proposal:
High Desert
Sunrise
Temescal

The following Districts would be dissolved and merged with other Districts:
5 Nations
3 Peaks
Arrowhead

The geographies that will be merged into other Districts include:
5 Nations
Moreno Valley to join Mt Rubidoux
Perris to join Tahquitz

3 Peaks
Hemet and Idyllwild to join Grayback
Menifee to join Tahquitz
Anza to join Sunrise

Arrowhead
West Highland, San Bernardino, Grand Terrace and Colton to join Grayback
Mountain Communities to join Grayback (Big Bear to remain with High Desert)
Rialto and Fontana to join Old Baldy

This new alignment will be implemented on January 18, 2018 in conjunction with the CIEC Annual Meeting. It is also recommended with this proposal that 1 (one) additional professional staff position be considered to facilitate a 1 to 1 professional to District alignment.

With CIEC Board approval, the following timeline and steps will be included in this transition:

Friday November 17:
Teleconference with professional staff updating them on the decision
Meetings with Key 3’s in Old Baldy, Grayback and Arrowhead
Conference calls with Key 3’s in Tahquitz, 3 Peaks, Mt Rubidoux, 5 Nations

Friday – Sunday, November 17-19:
Key 3’s have an opportunity to share changes with their District Committees

Monday, November 20:
Changes including new District maps and details to be shared in the Monday Memo along with an e-mail blast and social media posts.

Wednesday, November 29:
Presentation to be shared at the Council Coordinated Meeting.

Month of December:
Information is further shared with District Committees, in Roundtable meetings and in other District specific events including mixers for volunteers included in the realigned Districts.

Additional Notes:
Nominating Committee's for 5N, 3P and AH will immediately be made inactive. Members of the nominating committee will be suggested as members for the realigned districts nominating committees.

For Grayback and Old Baldy ONLY: Key district leaders in Arrowhead will be folded into existing district committees. Example: The AH membership chairman would become the GB membership chairman, the district chairman will become the District Vice Chairman, the advancement chairman will become the San Bernardino area eagle chairman, etc. This will help the transition process and eliminate those effected most in the transition to feel pushed away when they are needed.

Grayback: Will form a subcommittee of equal representation of volunteers previously form 3P, AH and "OLD GB" to explore a potential name change.

The Winchester Day Camp (3 Peaks) will be retained. Would be considered "Tahquitz North" Day Camp. All other activities and their project codes will be discontinued in 3P, AH and 5N.

Respectfully submitted,

CIEC Alignment Committee

Richard Campbell – CIEC VP of Operations
Mark Wroth – District Chair Old Baldy
Todd Elkins – District Chair - 3Peaks

Arrow of Light

 

The Arrow of Light Scouts of Pack 346 completed their Built It Adventure requirement by designing and building a Flag Retirement Box for the Canyon Lake Community. The seven Scouts (Gavin Dalton, Aidan McColley, Arthur Keene, Luke Remley, Matthew Thomas, Luke Thomas and James Woodward) of Den 6/Thunderbolt Patrol designed the box at the end of their Webelos Year and completed the box at the start of their Arrow of Light year. The Box was unveiled at this year's Canyon Lake Veteran's Day Ceremony where the Pack Scouts hand out flags and programs to the veterans and guests in attendance each year.  The Box will be house at the Town's Pack and Post office and the Pack will retire flags at their annual Spring Campout.  Our Unit is very proud of this service project by these young men and the gift to the community that will find use for years to come.

Pack 641

 

On Wednesday November 8th the Cub Scouts of Pack 641 in Rancho Cucamonga received a visit from the 40th District Assemblyman Marc Steinorth who represents the city.   The Assemblyman took some time out of his evening to come speak to our scouts and to answer some questions from the entire Pack.  He fielded questions about government, campaigning, how bills are passed and of course what kind of video games he likes to play.  Assemblyman Steinorth answered every question, including the video game question.  He was a great guest and we thank him for spending time with our scouts.  It was great experience for our scouts.
