The Northeast Iowa Council Wishes You and Your Families a Blessed

Holiday Season!

Message from the Council Key-3 Dear Northeast Iowa Council Scouters, We in the Northeast Iowa Council have so much to be thankful for this year. We want you to know how thankful we are for your service to Scouting and the Scouts you serve in your Units. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays. We have had a productive couple of months in the Council. Elliott lodge has a new steel roof! On behalf of Scouts in our council, a special thank you to Mike Roling, Mark Schreiber, Kevin Davis, Jim Meyers and their crew for making this project happen. This will ensure that this cabin at Camp Burton will be available for use by Scouts for many more years. The new roof was made possible through a generous donation from the Noon Optimist Club of Dubuque. Scott and Paul recently had the wonderful opportunity to attend, along with political and community dignitaries, the 9th Annual DeKalb County “Tribute to Heroes” event in which Bruce Griffith was recognized. This event honors individuals for heroic actions and/or exceptional, selfless community service. Bruce is the individual responsible for managing the fund that allowed the Northeast Iowa Council to renovate our dining hall into what we now fondly refer to as “Munter Lodge”. Former Scout Executive Fred Wallace was also on hand and made the formal introduction of Bruce as part of the ceremony.

No finer tribute can be paid than to encourage some boy to live the life of a Scout, and thus perpetuate the high principles you admire in your friend.

Your gift to the Permanent Endowment Tribute Fund of the Northeast Iowa Council, Boy Scouts of America is: * A gift that will live on forever for the future of

Scouting in the Northeast Iowa Council permanent endowment fund

* A Tribute to the one whom you wish to honor * Promptly acknowledged with a tribute

certificate * A convenient way of expressing your feelings * A tax deductible contribution and a private

expression Remembrance can have no finer expression than through a living gift to the Boy Scout Permanent Endowment Tribute Fund. The Permanent Endowment Tribute Fund crosses all lines of religion and wealth. It warms the hearts of all involved. Mail your gift to:

5. Scouts and crew members that are currently under 18 years of age can create their own account, link their own membership information and submit their own application to attend the 2013 jamboree; however, parental consent will be required after the submission of their application. See step five below for more information on the parental consent process. Applying: Once the prerequisites have been met, the application candidate can select the “Apply Now” link found below the “2013 Jamboree” listing on the Summit main menu: 1.

Acceptance of understanding this information at the bottom of the page is a requirement to continue. 2. The second page all application candidates will see provides an additional welcome. This page requires two pieces of information. First is the application type that the candidate is interested in accessing to attend the 2013 National Scout Jamboree (many application candidates will have only one choice, depending on their membership status); the second requirement on this page is that the applicant provide a picture of him or herself. The picture is expected to be a clear picture of the applicant (see the page for specific instructions regarding file size and format). This picture will be used for identification purposes. The applicant will be able to change their picture as often as they desire. The application candidate will not be allowed to continue to their application unless both of these required fields are completed.

Membership reminder By now most packs have completed their fall recruitment event for new boys to join. The apps are still coming into the office, however I think there are some packs who did not recruit the number of boys they wanted to. October and November are typically big months for follow-up recruiting. Packs are encouraged to hold stand-alone recruiting events or invite new boys and their parents to Pack meetings, Halloween parties and other District events, such as the Family Fun Night at the Boys and Girls Club. If you are a Den Leader and your Den does not have at least 8 boys, you should be recruiting to fill the den! All den leaders should encourage their boys to invite their buddies to a future den meeting and sign them up. Cubmasters, if you are holding onto applications please turn them in! We’d like to have all the boys registered before the rechartering process begins in November. Anyone can find a pack or troop near them by visiting www.beascout.org. Attention Parents and grandparents! There is no better gift to give than the gift of Scouting… a gift truly worth more than the $27 dollars it costs to join.

We Want You Did you know that the Dubuque District has six committees which m a k e u p t h e D i s t r i c t Committee? We have four committees which make up our Program including Activities and Civic Service, Leader Training, Camping, and Advancement and

Recognition. We also have a Finance and Membership Committee. The District Committee has a vacant spot on nearly every committee, and we always have room for more volunteers! Every leader is welcome to join the District Committee, we’d be happy to help you find a job big and small! We meet the last Wednesday of every month at 6:00 at Westminster Church. Not all position require monthly meetings, not all positions require in depth knowledge of Scouting. All that is required of you is your passion to bring a bigger and brighter future to the Scouts of Dubuque! For more information about open positions or how you can help, call the Scout Service Center. 556-4343
