BSA Expands Programs to Welcome Girls As I shared with you in my column in

the June/July issue of Adventures in Scouting, last May during the BSA National Annual Meeting, a discussion was held on the potential inclusion of girls to participate in all Scouting programs.

By now, you most likely have heard about the BSA’s announcement welcoming girls to experience the values-based, life-changing moments offered in all of Scouting’s programs. On October 11, the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America’s Board of Directors unanimously approved to offer the Scouting program to the full family and welcome girls into its Cub Scout program as well as deliver a Scouting program for older girls.

So, what exactly does this mean for our local Scouting programs and what do our packs need to know? Starting in the fall of 2018, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouts. Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack. Cub Scout dens will be single-gender—that means either all boys or all girls. Using the same curriculum as the Boy Scout program, the BSA also will deliver a program for older girls, which will be announced in 2018 and projected to be available in 2019. This approach allows our organization to maintain the integrity of the single gender model all while also meeting the needs of today’s families.

The needs of today’s families will always be at the core of the BSA’s mission, to improve the lives of young people. Families today are seeking opportunities to meet the

developmental needs of both girls and boys. This decision will allow the Heart of America

Council to serve more youth in the Kansas City Metro area and help us deliver the character

development and values-based leadership programs that Scouting provides to prepare young

people for future success.

During the next year before the implementation of this program addition, we will be engaging our volunteers to ensure the support and programs are in place for a quality experience for all our Scouts and leaders.

Thank you for your continued support of Scouting and your work to improve the lives of young people in eastern Kansas and western Missouri.

As always, if you have any questions, ideas or concerns let me know.

Kansas Scouts Learn True Meaning of “Be Prepared” Save Scout Leader During High Adventure Trip

It was day four, just past the midpoint; but this high adventure trip to the Boundary Waters was just get-

ting started and this evening would test a Kansas troop’s strength and ability. The group of nine Scouts and lead-ers from Troop 487 in Olathe, KS had just left Thomas Lake in Minnesota for the day and were setting up camp. The weather was growing cold and the thick air blew through camp coating everything in a soft mist. Soon a voice called out to one of the troop’s leaders, “Mr. Keller, we need the first aid kit.” Mr. Keller didn’t think anything of it, after all, needing the first aid kit usually meant someone needed a band aid or the bug bite relief ointment. More frantically the Scouts called out again, “Mr. Keller, we need the first aid kit NOW!”. Mr. Keller looked up and saw another adult leader on the ground, on the rocky point at the front of their campsite, his ankle bent inwards 45 degrees.

Just then the Scouts sprang into action. They treated him for shock and administered pain medication. The

Scouts then cut down two trees and constructed a stretcher to transport the leader. The group did what they could with the limited resources offered by the small first aid kit. They had rented a satellite phone at the beginning of the trip and were able to call 911 and provide paramedics their exact location. However, the dispatcher informed them that due to the weather, they were unable to send anyone to their location until morning.

The Scouts decided they would have to prepare their leader for the long sleepless night he had ahead of him. Once he was ready, they used the stretcher they made and carried him off the rock face about 4-5 feet down and into his tent where he remained until the next day.

In the morning, the Scouts made a signal fire and using a brightly colored shirt, flagged down the rescue plane. The leader was flown to Ely, Minnesota and later to Duluth where doctors performed surgery and inserted two metal rods through his heel.

Despite near tragedy, the group was eventually able to finish their high adventure excursion without incident and learned the true meaning of “Be Prepared” in the process. The Scouts’ quick thinking also caught the attention of local media. The group was featured locally in stories on Fox 4 and KCTV-5.

BSA membership fee to change beginning Dec. 1, 2017

Effective Dec. 1, 2017, the Boy Scouts of America membership fee will be $33 a year for all regis-

tered youth and adult members. Scouting remains an incredible value. Where else but in Scouting can young people acquire hands-on leadership skills, become more comfortable in nature, and learn to make ethical and moral decisions throughout their lives? Not bad for just $2.75 a month.

As with every major decision affecting the BSA, this decision was made in concert with the volunteer-led national executive board of the BSA. This change will affect Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Venturing crews, Sea Scout ships, and Exploring posts/clubs. However, it will not apply to LDS-sponsored units, nor to those units with council-paid memberships.

All November and December 2017 charters will renew at this new rate. November is included because November charter renewal actually spans from Dec. 1, 2017 to Nov. 30, 2018.

What your BSA membership fee coversSo what are you getting for that $33 a year?

In short, your membership fee pays for the operation of the BSA National Service Center, which supports approximately 270 local councils that administer the Scouting program.

The National Service Center develops program en-hancements, covers liability insurance costs and much more. For adult leaders, the fee also pays for the com-munications resources that keep Scouters informed. That includes online resources, like this blog, and printed publications, like Scouting magazine.

Additionally, the National Service Center:

• Provides training to local council volunteers and staff• Maintains a national training center at Philmont

Scout Ranch• Develops and maintains four year-round national

high-adventure bases and executes national events (jamborees, National Eagle Scout Association and Order of the Arrow conferences, and National Council meetings)

• Continues our leadership role in protecting our youth by providing Youth Protection resources, training, and criminal background checks for all registered volunteers and staff

• Provides local councils with program as well as tools for camp and office planning and evaluation, extensive financial counseling, planned giving and fundraising information, and professional person-nel support

• Coordinates a communications network through printed literature (handbooks, merit badge pam-phlets, brochures, training materials, and profes-sional development training)

• Makes available uniforms, equipment and pro-gram supplies

• Maintains and develops new relationships with chartered organizations that use the Scouting program (religious institutions, civic organizations, labor unions, professional organizations, business and industry)

• Serves in a leadership role with Scouting associa-tions in other countries as a member of the World Scout Conference

• Sets and maintains program standards (e.g., advance-ment, health and safety, etc.) to ensure consistency of the brand throughout councils across the country

How BSA’s fee compares to other youth-serving organizationsScouters know that the $33 fee doesn’t cover it all. There are also costs related to uniforms, personal equipment, and the activities of individual members like outings and field trips, camporees or summer camp. Even when you add all that up, membership in the BSA costs less than other youth-serving organizations.

Each of the activities below offers a great experience for young people. In fact, research has shown that youth who participate in both Scouting and sports do really well in life.

Kansas City Area Examples:

• Blue Valley Youth Basketball, $154, second- through seventh-graders, four-month season.

• Kansas City Youth Orchestra, $596 and must buy their own instruments.

• Blue Springs Youth Football, $195 a year, 3rd through seventh grade, does not include equipment.

Scout Executive Don Baldwin Arrives at Camp Naish in 1945By Andy Dubill, Council Historian

A special announcement was made late in 1945. Don Baldwin had been chosen for the job as

Scout Executive for the Kaw Council. The thirty-eight year old Scouter was the deputy Region Nine Executive in Texas. He had gone from being a Tenderfoot Scout in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1926 to a job in professional Scouting in Kansas City, Mis-souri in 1931. He had been Director of Camping and Activities as well as Camp Director at Camp Osceola under Scout Executive H. Roe Bartle. He had since served as Executive of the Concho Val-ley Council in San Angelo, Texas. Baldwin had been a favorite of H. Roe Bartle from the day Bartle ar-rived in St. Joseph, Missouri in the early 1920’s. From the time he baby-sat for Bartle’s infant daughter or started an Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity at Kansas State University, Don Baldwin caught the attention of Bartle. When he graduated from Kansas State University with an architecture degree, Baldwin realized that his poor eyesight might hamper him in his chosen profession. Bartle signed him on to the professional staff of the Kansas City Council and he immediately became one of the leaders at Camp Osceola. Baldwin was nicknamed “Skipper” at Camp Osceola. Don was very youthful and Bartle wanted him to grow a mustache to look older. “Bartle did not want the Scouts to call me Don and I did not want to be called Mr. Baldwin,” he recalled over 60 years later. “At dinner, the first night the Chief announced that I was a naval officer and I should be addressed as the Skipper.” It was a shock for Don to learn of his naval career! Baldwin also remembered “the camp staff at Osceola in those days was the finest staff in every respect that I have seen in all my years of Scouting!” He duplicated his feat at Osceola by building a similar staff at Camp Naish after World War II. Baldwin drove much of the improvement at camp over the next thirty years. If you have questions about Scouting history that would be good topics for future columns, email Andy Dubill at [email protected].

40th Annual Blue Elk Day CampThe 40th annual Blue Elk District Day Camp was held July 10-15 at the American Legion Farm in Blue Springs. Day Camp 2017 wel-comed a total of 522 Cub Scouts and leaders. The Scouts participated in many different activity areas staffed by district leaders. This year’s “CubCraft” themed Day Camp fea-tured arts and crafts, games, obstacle courses, shooting sports, a zip line, and flag etiquette. Even though the week was one of the hottest of the summer, the general consensus of the Blue Elk Day Camp participants was over-whelmingly positive.

Pack 3250 Takes Center Stage at Old Setter’s Day ParadeThe Johnson Country Old Settlers Day took place September 7-9. Several Scout units from the Iron Horse District participated in the event by having a food booth and participating in the parade. We are very excited for two of our Cub Scout Packs

that placed in the Youth Float Division of the parade. In 2nd Place was Pack 3387, and 1st Place was Pack 3250 with their Super Hero themed float.

Pack 3250 had previously marched and handed out candy in the parade for years. This year they decided to build

a float as part of their summer activity and give the Scouts memories of building floats like many of their parents did. 17 Scouts, their parents and siblings helped cre-ate all the elements of the float, with the boys coming up with most of the ideas, and doing most of the work. For their efforts, they were awarded 1st place!

Re-Charter is around the cornerAs we enter the winter months, our favorite pas-time rounds the corner. Re-Charter will kick-off in November with a training put on by the one and only Terri O’Neal, Head Registrar for the council. This training will be held on November 4 at Univer-sity of Scouting (Metropolitan Community College Business & Technology Campus, 1775 Universal Ave Kansas City, MO). If you cannot make it to University of Scouting, we encourage you to come to Roundtable on November 7 to enjoy that same training at Blue Ridge Presbyterian Church. This training is put on to help all Scout leaders understand any updates that may be included in the Re-Charter process this year. We will also have laptops set up at Roundtable so that you can sit down and work on some of your Re-Charter right away. Hopefully we can help make this a smooth process.

Welcome our new District ExecutiveHi my name is Josepha Lara-Smith and I am new to the Heart of America Council. I was born and raised in Kansas City. I’m married and have three beautiful children. My son was involved in Scouting as a Cub and has recently registered as a Boy Scout and he is looking forward to becoming an Eagle Scout. I am passionate about working with people in the community, learning all that I can about Scouting and meeting new people to further

my Scouting career. I’m enthusiastic, community focused and driven to promote positive programs and activities that Scouting has proven to provide young men. Some of my hobbies include recycling and repurposing, gardening, camping, sewing and spending time with family.

Webelos Meet the Troop NightThank you to all of the Webelos and troops that participated in our Webelos Meet the Troop Night in September! We had a number of Webelos get the opportunity to see what it’s like to be in Boy Scouts and meet their future troop. A special thank you to John Peter for all of his hard work to make this event a huge success!

School Night for Scouting Shawnee Trails had another great year of recruitment! We had almost 400 boys join Cub Scouts and we are receiving more applications every day! Some packs are continuing to recruit and we encourage all packs, parents, and Scouts to tell their friends and family all about the fun they have in Scouting!

During School Nights, we had the exciting opportunity to start a new Pack! Shawa-noe Elementary will now be home to Pack 3248! We are thrilled to have these new families be a part of our Shawnee Trails team.

School Night in Blue ValleyThe Blue Valley School Night was a huge success! We recruited 145 new Cub Scouts at 19 schools in one night! We coordinated with 19 of our 21 schools to host a school night on August 30th and wel-comed new boys to each pack! We were even able to start a new Cub Scout Pack at Blue Valley’s newest elementary school, Wolf Springs, and we can’t wait to share Cub Scouts with these new families! We couldn’t have done it without our School Night Chair, Kathi Cook, who coordinated with 19 presenters and all the packs! Since our School Night, we’ve signed up another 15 Cub Scouts and more are coming in! We’re set up for a great fall in the Soaring Eagle District!

Ready to Recruit!Fall is upon us and recruitment is in full swing. Twin Rivers is currently about 40 kids away from reaching growth for the year in Cub Scouts. All of our school nights went well and we are doing follow up recruitments with packs. A big thank you goes out to each one of our volunteers. From our Membership Chair to our Cubmas-ters, thank you for helping get 110 kids signed up and excited about Scouting.

We are also out and about selling Trails End Popcorn. This is a great way for your Scouts to earn their own way in Scouting and a great way for families and communities to support Scouting. Don’t forget that the online sales go all year round and are a great way to sell to family all over the country.
