Dear Dads: Thanks for using your free time to go camping, even when it rains. Thanks for giving all of your passion and engineering know-how to help make a car from a block of wood. And thanks for all you do to share the adventure and prepare your kids to become exceptional adults. You make a difference. Hope you had a very Happy Father’s Day!

Monday evening June 14, 2010 Crew 604 did an awesome Leave No Trace Awareness presentation for Troop 304 in Murrieta, California. One thing was different, Dana Watts the Executive Director of Leave No Trace from Boulder ,Colorado was present and enjoyed watching the Crew in action. At the end of the training presentations Dana awarded Amy Chapman of Crew 604 the L.L. Bean Outdoor Hero Award. Amy was nominated for her excellent work spreading the message of Leave No Trace and Outdoor Ethics. Amy has served on many Woodbadge Venturing Crew staffs. Crew 604 of the Tahquitz District has shared the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace throughout the Council, visiting other units and training on Scoutreach Weekends. Congratulations to Amy and Crew 604!

Tour Permit FAQ's

Q.  Does the BALOO training that is listed in the activity training matrix have an expiration?
A.
BALOO is a locally administered course that does not have an expiration date. Repeating the course biannually is not a requirement at this time. Insert the date you took BALOO into the training matrix. 

Q. What are the Paddlecraft Safety and Swimming and Water Rescue courses that are listed on the training matrix?
A.
Paddlecraft Safety and Swimming and Water Rescue are new training programs being developed by the Aquatics Task Force. Support material, when available, will be provided to the local councils. The courses have been added to the training matrix to help you “Be Prepared.” In the meantime, please look through the Aquatics Supervision Guide Book, No. 34346, available through www.Scoutstuff.org . 

Q.  Is Planning and Preparing for Hazardous Weather Training required for all tours as of January 1, 2009? 
A. 
Yes, it is required for all tours, including local and national, Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing.

Q.  When do I need to complete a tour permit ?
A. 
Your local council determines when a tour permit is required for trips under 500 miles or local activity. However, the tour permit is an excellent planning tool that should be included in preparation for all activities, even those not requiring it. It guides a tour leader through itineraries, travel arrangement, two-deep leadership, qualifications of supervision, and transportation.

Q. What should we use for permission from parents?
A. 
The Activity Consent Form and Approval by Parents or Guardian is an appropriate resource.

Q.  Do I need anything else if we are going on a discovery flight?
A. 
Yes, please complete the Flying Permit along with an Activity Consent Form and Approval by Parents or Guardian (for each participant).

BSA Formally Launches Inventing Merit Badge 

The Boy Scouts of America, in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology formally launched the Inventing Merit Badge.

This new, exciting merit badge is now available for all scouts to earn. * Requirements are available at:
http://www.scouting.org/sitecore/content/Home/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/MeritBadges/mb-inventing.aspx

* The first printing of the merit badge pamphlet has been shipped to local council service centers.

As part of the development and pretesting of the Inventing merit badge, thirty-eight scouts from six Boston area councils completed the merit badge requirements and were awarded their badges. Additionally two patent-holding Distinguished Eagles with connections to MIT were presented commemorative merit badges for their past inventive activities and ongoing support of Scouting.

News & Tidbits

Weather

INLAND EMPIRE – The summer solstice arrives early Monday morning. It’s the longest day of the year with the shortest nights. More direct sunlight usually means hotter weather. Rob Krohn at the Riverside weather office says the longer days of spring produced only one heat wave.

“Temperatures were well below normal. The summer forecast calls for near-normal temperatures and rainfall with much less night and morning low clouds and fog.”

Summer usually produces about thirty, 100-degree days in the Riverside-San Bernardino area. But, September can sometimes be the hottest month of the year. So far, there have been no triple-digit days.
