Monday Memo

Good day and welcome to our August 9th, 2010 Monday Memo
Our California Inland Empire Scouts Live The Words to Live By! at the Jamboree
Just wanted to drop you a quick note with regards to a few of your council jamboree participants: Yesterday, my brother, nephew and I were visiting my dad who is working at the jamboree. We had the pleasure of being "stuck" in line at a food tent behind 4 of your Scouts. What should have been a horrible 30 hot, humid minute wait to get food, turned out to be quite a pleasant experience! They were, bar none, some of the most respectful, mature young men that I've met in the 8 years I have worked for the Scouts. You should be very proud of the Scouts you sent East to represent your council. Unfortunately I did not get their names or jambo troop numbers, but did want to pass this along.
Yours in Scouting,
Christen
I would like to second my sister's comments. My son just started Cub Scouts and was starting to get a little cranky while we were waiting in line. Two of the boys took the time to talk to him about how much fun they were having both in Boy Scouts and at the Jamboree. You should be very proud of your "Fender" clad Scouts. They truly were great ambassadors not only for your council, but also for the Boy Scouts of America.
Yours in Scouting,
CDR Brian "Boats" Coxson
Philmont Trek
Members of Troop 652 out of Rancho Cucamonga & Troop 33 out of Redlands just got back from an awesome trek (#707-R1) at Philmont! Six Scouts and four Scouters were lead by Crew Leader Tyler Eimen and Crew Advisor Christy Eimen on Itinerary #32, a "Super Strenuous" 82 + mile hike which included a hike over Hart Peak, Baldy Mountain (12,447') and a victory hike over the Tooth of Time.
Some other highlights of this wonderful trek was seeing the World's only Tyrannosaurus Rex Track (65 million years old!), Spar Pole Climbing, Blacksmithing, 12 Gauge Shot Gun Shooting and coming in first place twice at the Burro Racing and celebrating Tyler's 16th Birthday at Harlan campground!
(The Crew: Adult Advisor's: From Troop 652, Rancho Cucamonga, Christy & Donnie Eimen, Tony Geiger, Dave Macias. Youth: From Troop 652, Rancho Cucamonga: Tyler Eimen, Robin Riehn, Kevin Hickman & Travis Schmauss. From Troop 33 in Redlands: Kenny Taber & Joseph Harris-Lesh.)
Philmont Scout Ranch is a High-Adventure Base backpacking camp in Cimarron, New Mexico. You must be 14 years old or have completed the 8th grade and meet the height/weight guidelines to be a participant. Philmont is a very special place that every Scout/Scouter should experience while in Scouting!

California Inland Empire Council
Hesperia's James J. McCauley named to BSA National Hall of Leadership
Hesperia, CA – James McCauley, a Scout Leader from Hesperia, was among nearly 300 Scouts and Scout leaders nationwide named July 25 to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) 100th Anniversary National Hall of Leadership.
McCauley represents the California Inland Empire Council serving Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. He has served in key leadership roles for the High Desert District and the council since 1994 as well as serving as a merit badge counselor since 1999.
Scout Executive for the California Inland Empire Council, Joe Daniszewski said, “James J. McCauley represents all that we hold up to the youth we serve-courage, perseverance, and personal character. His leadership and dedication to service in the Scouting community and in his city are without equal.”
During a ceremony at the close of the BSA’s Centennial Parade in Washington, D.C. on July 25th, James was named to the National Hall of Leadership for making a significant difference in the life of another by the extraordinary service he has given, and the Scouting virtues he has modeled.
In addition to the July 25th ceremonies in the nation’s capital, each inductee will have his or her name recorded as part of the BSA’s 100th Anniversary archives at the National Scouting Museum in Irving, Texas.
“This is a once-in-a-century honor,” Daniszewski said. “We’re honoring, recognizing, and thanking our Scouts, leaders, and volunteers for the extraordinary differences they have made in the lives of others through their leadership.”
“What better way to help celebrate 100 years of Scouting in America than by giving the citizens of the communities we serve the opportunity to remember and honor these individuals who have made such a significant contribution to the lives of others and who have improved the quality of life for all,” said Robert J. Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive.
Chairing the Hall of Leadership program was Ernest G. “Ernie” Green, who earned a place in America’s civil rights history as one of the “Little Rock Nine”-the first nine African-American students to attend an all-white high school in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.
“The National Hall of Leadership epitomizes everything I have always respected about Scouting, because Scouting’s values help mold our young people to be the great leaders our country needs,” Green said. “I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the inductees receiving this one-time honor in Scouting’s history.”
One inductee from each of the nearly 300 BSA councils across the country was named to the National Hall of Leadership. Each inductee is representative of all the nominations received by his or her council. Nominations to the National Hall of Leadership were submitted online in the form of a story about the nominee, written in 450 words or less.
The National Hall of Leadership is one of a number of programs designed to invite people across the country to join in and celebrate the Boy Scouts of America’s first century of service to America’s youth.

Former Chief Scout Executive Ben H. Love
It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of the eighth Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, Ben H. Love. He led the organization from 1985 until 1993.
A tribute service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, August 14, at Beck Funeral Home, 1700 E FM 1431, Cedar Park, Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to a favorite charity.
Ben H. Love was born on September 26, 1930. As a youth, he joined Troop 147 in Trenton, Tennessee. He achieved the rank of Life Scout, and later volunteered as a Scoutmaster and neighborhood commissioner.
His first professional Scouting position was in 1955 as district executive in the West Tennessee Area Council in Jackson, Tennessee. In August of 1960, Ben became Scout executive of the Delta Area Council in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He was promoted to assistant director of the Boy Scouting Service in June of 1964, where his responsibilities included the production of the Boy Scout Handbook and the Patrol Leader Handbook. He later was named director.
In February 1968, Ben was named Scout executive of the Longhorn Council in Fort Worth, Texas. During his tenure there, the Sid Richardson Scout Ranch was constructed. In 1971, he was named Scout executive at the Sam Houston Area Council in Houston, Texas, where he helped grow membership from 49,000 to more than 64,000 and doubled the council budget. This special funding effort enabled the creation of inner-city Scouting. In July of 1973, he became director of the Northeast Region.
In January of 1985, Ben H. Love was named Chief Scout Executive and served in that role until his retirement in 1993. Among his countless contributions as the BSA’s leader was initiating the Five Unacceptables, a campaign against hunger, illicit drugs, child abuse, youth unemployment, and illiteracy. Under his leadership, the BSA also developed coeducational Career Awareness Exploring. His administration initiated the translation of Cub Scout literature into Spanish, introduced the Troop Operations Plan, and launched a national corporate effort to organize and expand Explorer posts.
Ben received the Vigil Honor of the Order of the Arrow and three beads in Wood Badge. He was the recipient of a special recognition from the European Region of the World Scout Bureau and the Inter-American Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement’s Youth of the Americas Award.
He was also recognized by Czechoslovakia with its highest award for helping with the reestablishment of Scouting after World War II, and he received a special letter of thanks from Mikhail Gorbachev for his leadership in organizing Scouting in the former U.S.S.R. He also received the highest award of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, the Bronze Wolf Award.
The Ben Love Years, a 1993 publication, mentions that his "strategy for growth with balance and quality was to make the BSA’s program current and relevant to the changing American family, while still remaining true to Scouting’s core values." Ben Love’s Scouting legacy demonstrates his vitality and spirit in making this vision a reality. The relevancy of his vision persists to this day.
Ben was married to Ann Hugo of Dyersburg, Tennessee, and they had four children, Ben Jr., Phillip, Leigh, and Mark.
He was a respected leader, highly regarded mentor, and beloved friend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be deeply missed.
Yours in Scouting,
Bob Mazzuca Chief Scout Executive

How true it is! Just one act of kindness...just one word of encouragement, can change a life forever. "The Push", is a wonderful short story written by David McNally and Mac Anderson. This story only has 182 words, but it captures the essence of encouragement in a way you'll never forget. So sit back, turn up your speakers, and watch a beautiful 3 minute movie that will make your heart smile.
