2010-08-26T04:36:00.001-07:00

WHAT: The BIG EVENT -- Chattahoochee District Cavalcade -- is only a month away!

There's something for every age in the wide world of Scouting right here at home. Boy Scout troops will demonstrate their skills and let YOU try, too. Cub Scout packs will show off their creativity & enthusiasm in a variety of games with a purpose, so bring the whole family to enjoy the fun. Sea Scouts, Venturers & Explorers can stage action areas to feature what they do in their BSA program. Webelos -- this is a great time to take a look at local Boy Scout troops before you cross the bridge later this year!

WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 25, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Cav's on SATURDAY this year to fit better with other important priorities. Activities are open-house format to fit with your family's weekend. Unit leaders, please plan to set up early so action can begin by 10am.

WHERE: Roswell First Baptist Church on Mimosa Blvd., just a block off Roswell's historic square -- the same church where our district holds Roundtable each month.

FEE: $5 incl. 1 event patch

Fee gets your entire Cub Scout family in with a Game Card for every person.

$5 is also the fee for individual Boy Scouts or others (incl. adult leaders) registering separately. Patch supply is limited and is first-come, first-serve. Extras will be for sale.

HOW TO REGISTER: Stop by the registration desk at Cavalcade; pre-registration may also be open online shortly on the CDBSA.org website.

YOUR UNIT: The best way to experience Cavalcade is for your UNIT to create & run a game, interactive display, skill challenge area, or other activity. UNITS PLEASE SIGN UP NOW so we can reserve space for your activity. Contact event chair: Marilyn Dunsmore, cm-roswell@comcast.net; 770-442-8849 (CL 404-210-5072). If your unit is considering running an activity booth at AAC Scoutfest in October, this would be a great way to dry-run it before you get there!

Subject: [Troop 989] Mike Rowe from the Discovery Channel talks about Eagle Scouts

Mike Rowe has said in commercials for Dirty Jobs that the inspiration for the show was as a tribute to his father and grandfather. Rowe became an Eagle Scout on January 2, 1979. During his service project for Eagle Scout he read aloud for students and he cites this as one of the reasons he became interested in narrating and writing.

On being an Eagle Scout he said "The Eagle Award is not really meant for people who need to be dragged across the finish line. It's meant for a select few..."' You can read his whole letter to a scout at http://oakford.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/a-letter-to-potential-eagle-scouts/.

Mike has posted some cool stuff on his website at http://www.mikeroweworks.com/mikes-office. There is a link to watch the July31st Jamboree show on-line as well as a great video of Mike wishing the BSA a happy 100^th birthday.

On the 3^rdSunday in this month, April 18^th, we plan to recognize all who participated in the first outing as well as those who were involved in the start up of the Golf Ministry. This will be done at the morning service. So, I hope that all of you will be at church on that day.

Eagle Camp 2010 Info

2010-01-23T12:03:00.001-08:00

FYI

-Angela

Registration for Eagle Camp 2010 is open to scouts now. I have already had several parents and scouts inquiring about how to apply. Interested scouts should download the registration forms from the Eagle Camp Web Site www.BSAEagleCamp.com. We will only have a Spring Eagle Camp this year. Our program and the camp have limits. We are accepting COMPLETE applications for Eagle Camp on a first come, first served basis. Incomplete applications will not “reserve” a space. We will return payment checks for all participants that do not qualify. Remember the rates change on 15 Feb.

§ Prerequisites for Eagle Camp are:

§ First Class Scout

§ Have attended two or more summer camps

§ Age 13 or above by January 1, 2010

§ Completed application with scout written essay

§ 2010 Form Physical Current through the end of camp

§ Recommendation of your scoutmaster

Common questions about Eagle Camp:

When is Eagle Camp? Eagle Camp is being planned for the week of Apr 5 to 10 at the FFA Camp near Bert Adams.

What Merit Badges are offered? The list of Merit Badges is never finalized until the last minute. This is so we can maximize the program for the scouts. We look at what the participants already have, what they request, and what we have the resources (instructors and equipment) to teach properly.

Can I attend Eagle Camp only once? I have had many scouts ask if they can attend Eagle Camp a second time. The answer is yes, we have had scouts attend a second time, and still earn new Merit Badges. Every year, we change the program slightly. Every year, we find different instructors. Every year, we learn from the previous year.

I have almost all of my Core Merit Badges, should I attend Eagle Camp? The question of whether you should attend Eagle Camp is a personal choice. We will have at least one elective merit badge scheduled for each session that we offer a core merit badge. We attempt to find which merit badges would benefit the most scouts. Last year, we had four Eagle Scouts attend. They earned a total of 15 new Merit Badges.

How can a scout earn 6 to 9 Merit Badges in one week? Many factors contribute to making Eagle Camp participants successful.

We get quality Adult Merit Badge Counselors. Last year most of the counselors had years of experience teaching Merit Badges and those new to the program had expertise in their subject area as a profession. We partner-up these instructors with an experienced scouter and teach the classes.

The scouts are asked to complete prerequisites prior to camp. They are also given incomplete packets to take home and complete before Spring Camporee. This is the difference between Complete Merit Badges and Partial Merit Badges.

We offer more opportunities; we give scouts “lab time” to complete their requirements without hanging out at the trading post all day. Last year when the woodshop was supposed to close after dinner. I ended up chasing out 10 to 15 dedicated scouts over an hour later than scheduled.

The scouts who choose to attend Eagle Camp are driven. We set high standards and the scouts have high expectations. The schedule is demanding, but the scouts work together during the entire week, and take pride in their accomplishments.

Hard Work. Ask ANY attendee of prior Eagle Camps. The scouts work hard for 7 straight days. This is not Summer Camp.

At this time, we are also actively recruiting both adult and youth staff. Adult staff (Scouters) is necessary and we will gratefully accept whatever time you have to offer. Options are one week, three days, two days, or one day, they all work and here’s why. A merit badge counselor will be able to attend, teach, participate or learn as desired. An adult will be able to attend a course and probably become qualified to offer the merit badge for their troop. All adults are required to have Youth Protection Training (YPT) that is available on-line. All adults must be registered as official merit badge counselors. We could always use extra help behind the scenes grading packets or with other administrative tasks.

Please visit the www.BSAEagleCamp.com site for more information and for the request for admission forms to sign up for Eagle Camp. The email address for questions is EagleCampInfo@gmail.com.

Kyron - Eagle Project

2010-01-18T05:29:00.001-08:00

Subject: Kyron - Eagle Project

Hello. This is Kyron from our Troop 206 and as some of you may know, I am currently working on my Eagle Scout Project. I must complete the project by January 31st, which is my 18th birthday. Thankfully, I have already gotten a jump start on the project, but there is still much more to do.
For my Eagle Scout Project, I must lead a group of scouts and my peers to improve a section of a trail that runs between Roswell City Hall and the Smith Plantation House. Improving the trial includes, cleaning it up, installing a storm drain to redirect water flow, installing information posts, and hanging bird feeders. Tomorrow, Monday the 18th, I am installing the storm drain and thankfully I have a handful of people that are coming out and helping me with that. I will be working tomorrow right after the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Service around 10:30/11:00 am and ending around 2:30/3:00pm.
So far, I have Justin, Jeremiah, Julian, Sylvester, Jonathan, and Abe to come help me tomorrow, the 18th. If you can help tomorrow, that would be great; however, I definitely need a few more scouts on Tuesday at 4:30pm. On Tuesday, the 19th, I am building and installing the information posts. Tuesday's work day should not take long considering that we are only screwing wooden pieces together and placing the posts into the ground with some concrete. The more people I have, the smoother it will go and the less time it will take. If you want to contact me you can reach me on my cell.
On a final note, I am also working on Wednesday, the 20th, with the cub scouts and we are hanging bird feeders. I am also working on Monday, the 25th of January to finish the work on the trail. Any of the days you can come out I will be thankful for because earning my Eagle Scout Award means a great deal to my mother, the troop, my family and friends, and most importantly, me. Again, if you have any questions, or if you can come out and help…. Thank You, and hope you all have a Blessed Week.

Kyron

Youth Religious Emblems

Youth Religious Emblems are earned by fewer than 5% of scouts. These represent a significant achievement in a scout fulfilling his Duty to God and deepening his relationship with his faith.

God and Church Religious Emblems Opportunity

For the first time in 4 years the God and Church Program is being offered in our District!

General Description

The God and Church program will lead young people on a journey. It will be a faith journey with three parts: meeting Jesus, worshiping God, and witnessing and ministering for Christ. Participants will create either a video or a photo album to share what they have learned on their faith journeys. Young people will have the opportunity to work with their pastor or other Christian adults as they study the church's structures and objectives and participate in service projects that will give them a better understanding of the mission of the church.

Interdenominational Resource
The God and Church curriculum was developed without theological bias. Therefore, all students use the standard God and Church curriculum regardless of church membership.

Curriculum Goals:

· To strengthen young people's relationship with Christ

· To challenge young people to learn about and participate in the worship and ministry of the church

· To have young people make a plan for daily Bible reading and memorize a creed or statement of belief or passage of scripture

· To provide the opportunity for young people to experience the joy of serving others

Eligibility Guidelines:
Girls and boys in grades 6-8 are eligible to participate in the God and Church program even if they do not belong to a Girl Scout or Boy Scout Troop. This program requires that students have original workbooks and present their work to the pastor for final approval.

The Program will be held on Thursdays from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM in Building D starting on January 7^th thru March 25^th. (No meeting February 11th). Cost for materials is $12.

Roswell United Methodist Church

814 Mimosa Blvd.

Roswell, GA 30075

The link for directions to the church and the site map is: http://www.rumc.com/page.aspx?id=79224

For the Leadership Position of Chaplain's Aide, BSA National states; "the Boy Scout seeking the position of chaplain's aide should have earned or be in the process of completing his religious emblems study program".

Please forward this information to the Scouts in your Troop.

Any Scout or Parent interested in participating is to contact by email at: LKoleos@Bellsouth.net.

GOD AND SCOUTING

When asked where religion came into Scouting and Guiding, Baden-Powell replied, It does not come in at all. It is already there. It is a fundamental factor underlying Scouting and Guiding.

One of the key tenets of Scouting is "duty to God." While Scouting does not define religious belief for its members, it has been adopted by and works with youth programs of all major faiths. Each of the major faiths breeds hope, optimism, compassion, and a belief in a better tomorrow. Scouting encourages each young person to begin a spiritual journey through the practice of his faith tradition.

Cub Scouts have the opportunity to earn a Youth Religious Award for participation in youth program of his faith. This award is a knot patch and like the Arrow of Light Award is worn on a scouting uniform throughout the stages of the scouting program. In the United States less than 5% of the scouts earn this prestigious award, which makes it all the more special. Faiths vary in their execution guidelines and requirements for the award, but in each case it requires a passion and commitment from a group of volunteers.

We are happy to announce that group of passionate volunteers will be running the following Protestant programs starting January 2010:

· God and Me Grades 1-3 (Roswell Presbyterian. Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. January 7^th, 14^th, 21^st and 28^th)

· God and Family Grades 4-5 (Rivercliff Lutheran Church. Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. January 17^th – February 21^st)

· God and Church Grades 6-8 (Roswell United Methodist. Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. January 7^th – March 25^th)

· God and Life Grades 9-12 (Roswell Presbyterian. Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. Janaury 7^th – April 8^th)

If you are interested, please contact us: juha.m.harkonen@hotmail.com

Due to pent up demand in the district classes are filling up quickly, but we are already planning for a second run later in 2010.

We would very much like to hear from families that belong to any faith and help in finding a program that will meet your spiritual needs.

OA Ceremonies Team and Announcement

Greetings from Lowanne Nimat, Chattahoochee's Order of the Arrow Chapter. We are pleased to announce that we are training an Order of the Arrow ceremonies team which will be available to conduct Cub Scout Crossovers coming up. Our ceremonies team practices tirelessly to ensure a quality experience for everyone involved. There is no cost for our services, however, donations are appreciated; Our regalia has to be maintained so that we can continue using it! If you are interested, please contact our Vice Chief of Indian Affairs, James Deaton (jamesdeatonmail@gmail.com) or our adult Chapter Adviser, Mr. Craig Barnwell (770-789-6471).

To all Lowanne Nimat members: If your Troop has an OA representative, please encourage him to attend meetings. The point of an OA rep is to act as a bridge between the Troop and the Chapter and that includes attending meetings. If your unit does not have an OA rep, please consider applying for the position. We encourage all members to attend our meetings, which are held on the second Thursday of every month behind Roswell Baptist Chirch at 7:30PM.

The next meeting, December 10, will be a Holiday party. All Lowanne Nimat Arrowmen are invited. There will be games (including a Wii!) and pizza (please bring money for the pizza) and lots of fun and fellowship. We look forward to seeing you there!

New Merit Badges

Scuba Diving is the first new Boy Scout merit badge in three years; it will become available in December. Click here for a brochure about the badge that you can share with your volunteers.

Four other new merit badges will appear over the course of the coming year:

Inventing (First quarter 2010)
Geocaching (Second quarter 2010)
Scouting Heritage (Second quarter 2010)
Robotics (Fourth quarter 2010)

These badges are being introduced because they received positive feedback in a youth interest survey.

If five new merit badges seems like a lot, it is. By comparison, the BSA introduced just six new merit badges between 1992 (Collections) and 2006 (Composite Materials).

When you have an idea for a new merit badge, the first step is to complete a proposal form, which you can get by e-mailing merit.badge@scouting.org . Proposals that fit merit-badge criteria and rank highly with youth members are sent to a volunteer task force and the Program Content Committee for review and development.

But the new badges aren't the only innovation. In the past it took three years to create a merit badge. Now, that time has been cut to just less than a year, helping to keep the badge topics and content fresher than ever.

Please help spread the word about the new merit badges, belt loops, and pins through Web sites, newsletters, e-mails, social networking, roundtables, and events. As always, www.scouting.org is your best source for the most current information about these awards.
