Good day and welcome to our July 19th, 2010 Monday Memo
Banning Eagle Scout named top Scout in nation by VFW
Rees Lloyd
For the Record Gazette
Local Eagle Scout Robert Morgan has been named “National Scout of the Year” for 2009-2010 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Morgan, 18, the son of Chuck and Donna Morgan, received a $5,000 scholarship as the VFW’s number one Scout in the U.S.
“The judges had a tough time choosing the second and third place winners this year,” said Steve Van Buskirk, VFW national director of programs. “But the judges had no problem in choosing Robert Morgan of California as the VFW National Scout of the Year. The point I want to make is that this young man, Eagle Scout Robert Morgan, was just head-and-shoulders above his peers, as a Scout and as a citizen. So we in the VFW are very, very proud of him, and pleased to honor him in this way.” Read More...... |  |
4th of July Sweepstakes Awarded
 | Mayor Bonnie Flickinger from the city of Moreno Valley awards Pack 210 of Moreno Valley, Ca. the sweepstakes award during the city council meeting on July 13th 2010. All smiles on the boys faces, when out of 55 entrance in the annual July 4th parade Cub Scout Pack 210 received the top honors and was presented the sweepstakes trophy by Mayor Bonnie Flickinger and the city council. The roar in the crowd and a lot of "aren't they cute" comments came from the city council chambers when the Scouts went up to receive the trophy. 35 Scouts decorated bikes, scooters, and a float while they went down the parade route tossing candy to the crowd and handing out special gifts to the physically challenged along the parade route. Great job for the 4th of july award as well as the celebration of the 100 years of scouting. Click Here for News Release |

A Shining Light Across America
If there is an event and a moment in our 100th Anniversary Celebration not to be missed, this is it! And (while it soon will be) it is still not too late to involve the Scouts, Scouters, units, friends, families, and supporters of your council in the July 31, 2010, broadcast of the jamboree’s Centennial Celebration show, A Shining Light Across America.
Many councils, districts, and units have Shining Light viewing gatherings planned. For those currently without plans, the needed details to join in are below. Feel free to pass this information along via e-mail, newsletters, blogs, and Web sites. The opportunity for your entire Scouting family to participate in this event is historic. And, the Centennial Celebration show will be spectacular! Here are the details:
1. Arena show and broadcast schedule. The Centennial Celebration preshow will be available via satellite and online starting at 5:30 p.m. EDT. The main show will be available for viewing at 8 p.m. EDT, and the broadcast will conclude at approximately 10:30 p.m. EDT. By popular request, we’ve provided an overview of the Centennial Celebration show “run of show.” Please Note: Content and timing are subject to change, all the way to showtime.
2. Webcast update. The Shining Light webcast will be available worldwide at www.ustream.tv/shininglight and via a Shining Light tab on the BSA’s Facebook page. Viewers will be able to comment and interact with fellow webcast participants while watching. Councils can also embed the viewing screen into their own Web site, Facebook page, and elsewhere. Click on “embed codes” at the top of the www.ustream.tv/shininglight page to copy the code for “Live Show” that you can paste into the HTML of your page.
Reminder: To ensure the best picture quality, the webcast option is recommended for small- to medium-sized groups on a screen no larger than 120 inches (9 feet wide by 6 feet high). Be sure to test it now by projecting any of the live videos currently available on Ustream onto the screen you plan to use. For more, review the webcast guidelines.
3. Testing. The Shining Light team will have limited availability on the big night. So, it is VERY important to test all equipment well in advance of the July 31 broadcast, whether you are watching via satellite or webcast. Please do so as soon as possible, and let us know if you have any questions.
4. If your venue doesn’t have existing satellite capabilities, and you have not yet contacted ashininglight@fleishman.com to request a satellite truck, you must do so by July 7. Satellite truck availability is on a first-come, first-served basis at this time and will be closed after July 7.
5. Additional resources. No matter where you are in the planning cycle, please take a moment to read several new documents in the Shining Light toolkit on YourSource:
6. Two-way locations. We’d like to extend our congratulations to the six councils selected to broadcast portions of their Shining Light activities back to the arena show stage: Anthony Wayne Area (Ft. Wayne, IN); Black Hills Area (Rapid City, SD); Greater New York Councils (New York, NY); Las Vegas Area (Las Vegas, NV); North Florida Council (Jacksonville, FL); and Occoneechee Council (Raleigh, NC).

National Youth Leadership Training
Dates: June 14 through 19, 2010
Total Youth Participants: 81 total participants – Three NYLT Troops
Total Staff:
- Under 18 years of age: 16
- 18 years old: 2
- Over 21 years old: 3 not counting the nurse
The vision of this course was to allow our youth leadership to manage staff developments and complete the delivery of the program to the course. The overall program coordinator was a 17-year-old Life Scout who worked with three Senior Patrol Leaders. The youth did an amazing job, and I was privileged to be there with them to watch them perform. Next year’s course director served on this year’s staff, and has the same vision for the 2011 course.
Service Project: Distributing wood chips (by product of the forest service thinning the forest) throughout the camp to reduce dust.
