Be PrePAred it’s more than a motto—it’s a Way of Life!

cuB scouts - ages 7–10—life lessons covered in funSpecifically designed for young boys, the program uses fun activities and outings to:

• Promote character development and physical fitness• Guide boys through the core values and give them a sense of

personal achievement• Instill honesty, bravery, and respect through positive peer group

interaction and parental guidance• Model citizenship, compassion, and courage by example

family involvement is an essential part of cub Scouting, and parents are encouraged to play an active role. this family- and community-centered approach to learning means that cub Scouting is truly time well spent.

BoY scouts - ages 11–17—Building tomorrow’s leadersas a youth run program operating under the supervision of adults, Boy Scouts learn through experience—how to lead an activity, plan an outing, run a meeting, and deliver a program. focusing on a variety of fun outdoor and challenging activities, boys develop:

• Strong personal values, self-reliance, perseverance, and independence

• Self-esteem by setting and achieving goals • Caring and nurturing relationships with parents, peers and other

adult role models• A desire to learn and to try new things• Time management skills• Teamwork, cooperation, and personal selling skills

Through the support of parents and community organizations, Scouts develop an appreciation of their role in their community and beyond.

venturing - co-ed - ages 14–20 (or 13 & completed 8th grade)Venturing centers on a particular avocation or hobby interest (rang-ing from high adventure outdoor activities to robotics to theater), selected and led by the teens in that unit, with an adult advisor. Activities are interdependent group experiences in which teamwork is critical to success. the Venturers’ “learning by doing” approach in a group setting provides opportunities for the teens to develop:

• Shared meaningful experiences • Bonding/supportive relationships with peers • Teamwork and practical skills in fun activities—organizing,

planning, and leading local and remote outings/events• Communication and teaching skills each program is uniquely

designed by that unit for that unit.

seA scouting - co-ed - ages 14–20 (or 13 & completed 8th grade)Under the supervision of experienced mariners, sea scouts sail and cruise either sailboats or power vessels while learning the time test- ed skills of a sailor. During the boating seasons, Sea Scouts learn:

• How to operate the vessel with a focus on the safe and proper methods of handling boats

• The meaning of buoys and lights• How to take advantage of wind and tide• How to drop anchor and approach a dock• Maintenance of the ship which may include welding and engine

repair

The teens practice what they learn in fun outings on the bay/ocean and can participate in sailing races and regattas with other units from all over the country. each program is uniquely tailored to the vessel and her Scouts.

eXPLoring - co-ed - ages 14–20 (or 13 & completed 8th grade)Exploring focuses on a specific career field such as law enforcement, fire/rescue, medical, etc. and is sponsored and run by a local govern- ment or business entity. Directed by professionals, teens lead activi- ties simulating real situations and participate in real time projects. as a result, teens get to see if a particular career path might be a good fit for them--very much like an internship and typically learn:

• Practical knowledge of and experience in a specific career• What it’s like to work in a specific field, what types of career paths

one might take, and what it takes to be successful• Work/life skills—communication, dependability, teamwork• Organizing and leading team meetings

Each program is specific to a given career. We currently have 21 units in the areas of law enforcement (15), fire (4), medical (1), and search and rescue (1).

order oF the ArroW - scouting’s national honor societyThe purpose of the OA is to recognize those scouts, chosen by their peers, who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. this recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ide-als as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others. oa service, activities, adven-tures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leader-ship development and programming that enrich and help to extend Scouting to america’s youth. for specific information go to ohlone lodge 63 website at: http://ohlone63.org

scouting is all about being able to deal with the challenges of life—“being prepared”. through its time-tested program, Scouting provides opportunities for youth to mentor to their peers, build character, and learn values that last a lifetime. these activities build stronger family bonds and help youth reach their full potential. one of the strengths of the

Scouting program is the unique relationship between religious and community organizations, parents, and leaders. Working together, they are able to focus the necessary resources and leadership on the single task of serving youth. The result is children, fami-lies, and communities who are stronger and better prepared for the future.

the PAciFic skYLine counciL of the Boy scouts of America was incorporated in 1994 out of a merger between the san mateo county council and the stanford Area council. Pacific skyline council serves all youth in san mateo county and the northern part of santa clara county as far south as mountain view.

the council operates 3 camp properties and 2 service centers and shops for the use of local Scouting programs:

• cutter Scout Reservation is located in the Santa Cruz Moun-tains and provides an excellent place for Scouts to have outdoor adventures

• Boulder Creek Scout reservation is located near the town of Boulder Creek in the coastal redwood forest, and is an easily accessible camp for quick weekend outings and other events

• camp oljato is located in the High Sierra on beautiful Hun-tington Lake. This seasonal camp is a great place to go for summer adventures

• the council operates two service centers and shops for Scouts. they are located in foster city and Palo alto.

The Pacific Skyline Council’s territory includes all of the communi-ties from Daly City and South San Francisco in the north, to Los altos and mountain View in the south, to the coast on the west.

last year, 188 young men in the council achieve Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout. In order to achieve this prestigious award, the Scout must earn 21 merit badges, develop and lead a service project to better his community and demonstrate leadership within his troop. nationally, less than 5% of all Scouts ever achieve this award.

the council is governed by a volunteer Executive Board made up of many of the leaders of the local communities. the program is guided by a staff of 9 full-time professional Scouters and sup-ported by 9 dedicated full- and part-time support staff members.

in 2013, the council served 7,707 Scouts in 266 local units, including Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, Varsity Teams, Venture Crews, Sea Scout Ships and Explorer Posts. this reflects a slight growth over 2010.

annually, the council operates on a budget of about $2.6 million, which is funded through contributions from Scout families, community supporters, camping and activity fees, popcorn sales and investment income.

scoutreachscoutreAchchanging lives in our communityThe Pacific Skyline Council is firmly com-mitted to the vision that no youth will be denied the benefit of a Scouting experi-ence due to a lack of money or volunteer adult leadership. our goal is to serve an increasing number of at-risk youth and families from our diverse local communi-ties and to develop strong programs for these youth. the council’s Scoutreach Program pro-vides funding to support packs and troops including hiring paraprofessional staff to serve as Scoutmaster and cubmaster; and subsidizing registration fees, uniforms, manuals, field trips and camp outings.currently, the council’s Scoutreach pro-gram serves over 900 youth in 34 cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Ventur-ing crews.

our Scoutreach areas include east Palo alto, mountain View, Redwood city, east Menlo Park, Daly City, and Half Moon Bay. the council is fortunate to have partner-ships with The Boy’s and Girl’s Club of the Peninsula, Mid Peninsula Housing, Our Second Home of Daly City, American legion Post #558, St francis of assisi, St Elizabeth Seton, and a number of after school programs at local elementary schools.events and ActivitiesIn addition to providing a weekly program, Scoutreach helps units and youth partici-pate in “special events”: mountain man rendezvous, District Camporees, Merit Badge Midway and the Pinewood Derby. camperships also enable cub Scouts to attend summer day or overnight camps, and Boy Scouts to go to week-long summer camps at cutter Scout Reservation in the

Santa Cruz Mountains or at Camp Oljato in the High Sierra. Scoutreach youth expand their learning with trips to parks, muse-ums, cultural fairs, as well as business and government offices.educational Adventures“Values of Scouting,” a recent study by Harris Interactive indicates that boys with at least five years of Scouting are more likely than those who have never been Scouts to:• assume leadership roles in clubs and

school organizations• Have higher self-confidence• Resist negative peer pressure• consider the needs of others firstinvestment in Scoutreach today will benefit our communities and country tomorrow.

eAgLe scout: the uLtimAte goALthe eagle scout Award is the highest rank in scouting. Less than 5% of boys who start the scouting program will reach this pinnacle. Last year in the Pacific skyline council, 179 young men earned this rank. nationwide, in scouting’s first 100 years, more than two million eagle scout honors have been awarded. Locally, the Pacific skyline council class of 2013 eagle scout service Projects totaled over 28,000 hours of community service or the equivalent of 14 full-time community workers (28,000 total hours divided by 2,000 hours per year = 14 full-time workers)! Well done, eagle scouts!!!

Adult training courses

youth proteCtionthe Boy scouts of America places the great-est importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth. to maintain such an environment, the BsA de-veloped numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the cub scout, Boy scout, and venturing programs.our youth protection efforts comprise four key components: (1) a multi-layered vol-unteer application and screening process, including local selection and screening, national criminal background checks, and verification that Scouting has received no prior allegations of inappropriate conduct; (2) extensive training programs designed specifically to teach Scouts and adult volunteers how to recognize and prevent abuse; (3) clear policies that create bar-riers to abuse of youth members; and (4) mandatory reporting of allegation or suspicion of abuse.

reQuirements1. youth Protection training is required for

all BSa registered volunteers, regard-less of position.

2. new leaders are required to take youth Protection training before submitting an application for registration. Proof of train-ing must be submitted at the time the application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.

3. youth Protection training must be taken every two years. if a volunteer’s youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.

BArriers to ABuse Within scoutingthe BSa has adopted policies on the fol-lowing topics to provide additional security for our members.• Mandatory reporting of any suspected

abuse must be made to local authorities• Two adults must supervise all activi-

ties—no 1 to 1 contact between adult and youth

• Privacy is respected including separate youth/adult accommodations

• Cameras, imaging, and digital devices must be used responsibly

• All aspects of scouting are open to observation by parents

• Attire must be appropriate for the activity• Discipline must be constructive• no hazing or bullying of any kind is

allowed• Junior leaders are trained and super-

vised• Members/Units are responsible for

enforcing policies

scouting’s “three r’s” oF PersonAL sAFetYyouth are also taught to recognize the “three R’s” of Personal Safety• recognize situations that place you at

risk of being molested, how child molest-ers operate, and that anyone could be a molester.

• resist unwanted and inappropriate atten-tion. Resistance will stop most attempts at molestation.

• report attempted or actual molesta-tion to a parent or other trusted adult. this prevents further abuse and helps to protect other children. let the Scout know he or she will not be blamed for what occurred.

for more information on the youth Protec-tion Guidelines in English and Spanish go to www.scouting.org/youthprotection.

• Cub Scout Belt Loop Sponsorships• Boy Scout Merit Badge Sponsorships

BeneFits to Youththese programs deliver an outdoor pro-gram which enable kids to grow physically, mentally, and morally in after-school and weekend activities. We hire and provide the leaders to make sure the program is robust and meaningful.

Scouting fills the bill by:

1. offering a place for youth to attend after school and on weekends at which he or she will learn core moral values, a chance to get outside—explore/try new things, and a chance to be a leader--building self confidence and self esteem.

2. Teaching kids how to avoid drug and alcohol use.

3. Expanding their horizons by going on fun and educational “field trips” to local museums, parks and libraries.

4. Exploring the outdoors with day camp, resident camp and weekend camping trips.

5. Creating weekly opportunities at group meetings to give them the opportunity to learn/demonstrate what it means to be: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courte-ous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

Additionally, Scouting helps these kids develop six critical elements of healthy youth:

1. Strong personal values and character

2. Positive sense of self-worth and usefulness

3. caring and nurturing relationships with parents, other adults and peers

4. a desire to learn

5. Productive/creative use of time

6. Social adeptness

THAnK yOU! Because of you, these kids will have the opportunity to go to summer camp and join a positive leadership based program, led by kids for kids.

Friends of scoutingFriends oF scoutingIt costs the Council approximately $2.6 million to provide all of our Scouting programs to your sons and daughters. friends of Scouting is the means by which the council raises funds to cover these costs and comes from each family’s contribution to support the programs. See the iceBerg for details.

Where do my Payments go?• Registration fee of $24 goes to the

national office.• Pack / Troop / Crew / Ship dues pay

for local expenses: unit equipment and supplies; camping and activity fees; rank advancement badges, merit badges, and other recognition given to Scouts.

• Activities fees (e.g. Day Camp and Summer camp) pay for that activity (direct staff, supplies, etc.).

how is the “Friends of scouting” amount determined?the council budget (net of camping) is divided by the number of Scout participants. the council needs about $15.50/month to provide the nec-essary resources to support each Scout.

What happens if i don’t contribute?The Council must cover expenses with donations that: fund camp infrastructure projects; expand current youth activities and adult training pro-grams; and provide outreach projects to disad-vantaged youth in our underserved communities. additionally, many donors and foundations who can contribute will only do so if a majority of our families donate to Scouting.

What if i can’t afford to pay the “Friends of scouting”? no family or Scout will be denied a Scouting experience because of their financial situ-ation. a monthly contribution of $15.50 (or annual of $185) is suggested but participa-tion at any level is important and gratefully recognized. Please donate at a level mean-ingful to you.

how do i donate? Donate by check, online (use Qr code), or by credit card (monthly @ $15.50; annual @ $185). or visit www.pacsky.org and click on the “Donate now” button at the bottom of the page. Donations to Friends of Scouting may be eligible for Corporate Matching Gifts. Check www.pacsky.org/SupportScouting for a list of companies.

Fundraising

PoPcorn 2013Why sell Popcorn: What is your ideal year of scouting? if money were no object, what would you do with your scouts? summer camp in Alaska, per-haps? new equipment? visit the Florida sea Base? take your unit to Philmont? A day of play at disneyland or great America?endless Possibilities: With popcorn, liter-ally all are possible and anything else your unit can dream of. each fall, Scouts across America take part in their council’s annual popcorn sale. Boys sell to their friends and family, neighborhood, door to door and at store fronts. about 37% of each sale goes directly back to the scout’s unit to use however leadership decides. Ask yourself or your units leadership about how popcorn sales can affect what you do this year.

Supporting Pacific Skyline: Beyond that, another almost 30% helps support our Pa-cific Skyline Council. Those funds are used

to support camp development, activities and to include more kids in the experience of Scouting.

effective fundraising Program: year after year, annual popcorn sales have proven to be the most effective means of fundraising available to Scouts. on average, scouts make more money per hour invested than in selling any other products, holding car washes or just about any other fundraising

method. that is why nearly every council in the country takes part in the popcorn sale.

Learn new Skills: in addition to raising money, popcorn sales teaches Scouts a host of life skills. These skills include entrepreneurship, how to communicate effectively and the value of paying their own way.

again this year: in addition to simplified unit commissions, our Pacific Skyline council has generously added a new incentive of a $100 Camp Gift Card (for in council camps - oljato, cutter & Boulder Creek only) to all Scouts each time they reach $600 in sales. essentially, your scout can earn their way to summer camp this year.

Extended Sale Dates: the popcorn sale begins Sep 5 and concludes nov 15.Questions? Contact Elise Dixon, Council Popcorn chair at 650 922 9803 or elisedixon@yahoo.com.
