Monday Memo
 | Joseph Daniszewski
Scout Executive |  |
Good day and welcome to our July 6th Monday Memo
1. Have you had a chance lately to spend sometime in the great outdoors with some of our scouts?
Watching our young men and women have fun and learn under the blue sky, golden sun and the tall pine trees is a real treat. We are blessed to have so many great camps like the Boseker Scout Reservation and Camp Helendade.
Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers look forward to "hot fun in the summertime!" They thrive in the outdoors. The more hikes, fields trips, campouts, Boy Scout Summer Camp, Cub Scout Camp Wiley, Cub Scout Day Camp, Wisumahi, Transition, National Youth Leader Training - Buckskin and Foxfire the better! Scouts advance more, learn more and grow more in the outdoors.
You, our volunteer adult leaders, all 7,626 of you, do your best to deliver a quality program to over 1,014 packs, troops, teams and crews. As mentors, you lead by example; you make the daily and weekly sacrifices to make a difference in the lives of our youth. Scouting works because you make it work. Your constant care and concern are inspirational.
A grateful Scout Executive salutes you!
2. Our Nation's birthday and Words to Live By!
I hope you all had an enjoyable 4th of July! My family and I travelled to the Palm Springs Air Museum and explored some of the beautiful beaches of Southern California. I counted my blessings as an American and recalled some of the most quoted words from our Declartion of Independence:
" We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "
" And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. "
Did you know that our Declartion of Independence has 1337 words? These words changed history.
There is another statement that has had quite an impact as well: The Scout Oath and Law. Did you know that the Scout Oath has 40 words and that the Scout Law has 12 points?
| Scout Oath | | Scout Law | | On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight. | | A Scout is: | Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind | | Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
Reverent | | |
Living by the Scout Oath and Scout Law help make a difference in our world, each and every day.

Whether it's learning how to tie a square knot at Creighton Island, Ga., or emphasizing the importance of beach conservation (utilizing Leave No Trace) on Catalina Island, Calif., each episode offers practical advice for all past, present, and future Scouts.
All-new episodes in 2009 feature Scouts canoeing in California, horseback riding in Nevada, and snowshoeing in Minnesota. From trail to riverbed, beach to mountaintop, Scouting for Adventure features some of the country's finest young men displaying all the characteristics and qualities that define Scouting.

5. Local Scouts in News! Boy Scouts beautify Thompson Middle School
MURRIETA ---- Jabbing a shovel into the dirt surrounding a potted plant, Carlos Gonzales showed seven boys how to dig the right-sized hole, blend fertilizer with soil, drop the plant in the ground and pat the surface to smooth uneven dirt.
"This is why you wear work shoes," Gonzales said as he stepped on a shovel.
