Click here for flyer | | New | Health and Safety Minute: Propane Cooking | | | As the days and nights get colder, Scouts and Scouters will be looking for ways to stay warm and cook meals efficiently while at camp. Safety and environmental awareness concerns have persuaded many campers to move away from traditional outdoor campfires in favor of chemical-fueled equipment used for cooking, heating, and lighting. Because chemical fuels and equipment create very different hazards than traditional wood, charcoal, and other solid fuels, the BSA has provided a number of resources to help councils address those hazards. Please take a moment this month to review the BSA's guidance on the use of propane and other chemical fuels (available online here or as an attached PDF), and share with your team, camp staff, and key volunteers. Resources: | | New | Jesus & Me, Announcing New Program for K-1 | | | Volunteers Needed CEO Jason Noland presented the initial outline for a new program called Jesus and Me to the P.R.A.Y. Board of Directors at their Annual Meeting September 21, 2018. Designed for kindergarteners and first graders, this new program will introduce Jesus as teacher, friend, healer, and storyteller - someone young children can relate to and understand. As Jason explained, “This is a new venture for P.R.A.Y. We want a program that will fit seamlessly with our current series, and yet stand apart and usher in a new strategy moving forward.” Jesus and Me will model a new cooperative writing process inviting national denominations to invest in the P.R.A.Y. curriculum and engage volunteers in producing this new piece. P.R.A.Y. is looking for experienced writers to create lessons, and also for reviewers to provide feedback. This cooperative writing model will be used not only for Jesus and Me, but also for future revisions of current curriculum. To help oversee this project, P.R.A.Y. will be working with Rev. Patrice Rosner who will serve as Project Editor coordinating the team of writers, assembling the lessons, and ultimately producing the final manuscripts for the Jesus and Me Student Workbook, Counselor Manual, and Adult Mentor Workbook. Rev. Rosner is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and has years of experience in Christian Education and curriculum development.

| | | Positive Quote and Prayer
-------------------------------- "Loyalty is a feature in a boy's character that inspires boundless hope."
~Robert Baden-Powell O God, we acknowledge You today as Lord,
Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.
We thank You for the privilege
Of being able to organize ourselves politically
And of knowing that political loyalty
Does not have to mean disloyalty to You.
We thank You for Your law,
Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged
And recognized as higher than any human law.
We thank You for the opportunity that this election year
puts before us,
To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote,
But to influence countless others to vote,
And to vote correctly.
Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened.
Let them realize that while politics is not their
salvation,
Their response to You requires that they be politically
active.
Awaken Your people to know that they are not called to be
a sect fleeing the world
But rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to You in prayer
Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth;
That the same eyes that read Your Word
Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot,
And that they do not cease to be holy
When they enter the voting booth.
Awaken Your people to a commitment to justice,
To the sanctity of marriage and the family,
To the dignity of each individual human life,
And to the truth that human rights begin when Human Lives
Begin,
And not one moment later.
Lord, we rejoice today
That we are citizens of Your kingdom.
May that make us all the more committed
To being faithful citizens on earth. Amen | | Monday Memo is from Scout Executive Joe Daniszewski and contains his reflection on what is happening within the Council.
