Scoutmaster Thoughts
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The secret to getting started is
breaking your complex
overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks
and then starting on the first one."

2014 Occoneechee Council Hornaday Award Recipients
The Hornaday Award program was
created to encourage and recognize those youth, units and adults in the BSA that have contributed significantly to natural resource conservation and environmental protection. Approximately 1,200 Hornaday Awards have been bestowed in the last 99 years. The first Hornaday Awards were awarded to two youth in our Council in 2003. Since then, only 18 Hornaday Awards total have been earned and awarded -‐ two Unit Certificates, 12 Badges, one Silver Medal (highest youth award) and three Gold Badges (adults).
For a Scout, the award signifies the completion of one or several truly exceptional conservation projects depending upon the Hornaday medal level achieved. The Unit Award Certificate is presented to a unit on the Council level that completes a significant conservation project. For adults, it signifies a minimum of three years of significant contributions to conservation and ecology either on a District or Council level.
The Conservation Committee would like to recognize the following members of our Council who have earned a William T. Hornaday Award in 2014 (in order earned).
William T. Hornaday Badge – Will Tabor (Troop 325) and James Grubbs (Troop 820)
Unit Certificate – Troop 325 (as part of Will Tabor’s Hornaday Badge project)
William T. Hornaday Gold Badge – Meredith Blackwood (Council) and Charly Kerr (Impeesa District). The 100th Anniversary of the Hornaday Award will be celebrated in 2015. Stay tuned for more information on the celebration as it comes down from National. If you have a youth in your unit who is interested in working on a Hornaday Award, please have them contact Meredith Blackwood, Hornaday Advisor, at [email protected]. Don’t forget that your unit can also earn this special award.

Occoneechee Scout Sign January 2015, Vol. 11, #01 4
This half-‐day workshop is designed for
District Committee members who are in need of training for their position. The result of this workshop for members who attend will be a training card and the ability to wear the “Trained” strip for their position.
The District Committee Training Workshop meets the basic training need of members of the District Committee. The workshop also results in a well-‐coordinated and dedicated group of Scouters committed to achieving the mission of the Council and the Districts. The workshop also helps initiate a working relationship between the Council and District personnel.
The basic functions of the will be reviewed; major tasks of Committee members will be identified and suggestions as to completion of these tasks; and networking and coordination tasks will be identified.
Participants who attend this workshop will meet their counterparts in other Districts and the Council. They will review the department goals for 2015 and use these as a launch pad to set their own District goals for 2015.
As a tenet of continuous learning, ALL members of the Committee are encouraged to attend this event every year in order to network with others as well as review the goals for the year. Hope to see everyone there!
Flyer attached and entry for registration will be on the calendar. Because it is only a half-‐day, lunch will not be served. Snacks and drinks will be available.

Wood Badge is the premier advanced hands-on leadership skills experience offered to adult volunteers of the Boy Scouts of America. Started by Sir Robert S. Baden Powell, Wood Badge's primary purpose is to strengthen Scouting in our units, districts, and local council. Encompassing two three-day weekends, the course allows Scouters of all backgrounds to come together at camp to extend their understanding of the youth they lead, the adults they work with, and to go to new levels of personal growth and learning. Many describe this course as their mountaintop experience in Scouting…the most fun they’ve ever had as an adult Scouter. Wood Badge is open to all registered adult Scouters who have completed the basic training requirements for their primary Scouting position. There is no minimum years of experience you must complete in order to attend Wood Badge. In fact, the earlier in your Scouting career that you attend Wood Badge, the sooner you can put those leadership skills to work in delivering the best Scouting program to the youth you serve. The course size is limited to only 48 participants and spaces fill up quickly. Join us in 2015 at Wood Badge S7-421-15-1!

All other participants are encouraged to complete the Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills training before attending a Wood Badge course, but it is not required.

What is a Wood Badge Ticket? The Wood Badge “ticket” represents your commitment to complete a set of five significant goals, which relate to your primary Scouting position, that can be attained within 18 months.

“At last a training that teaches skills I can use immediately in my troop and even at work”
-Scoutmaster , Baden Powell District

-Pack Training Chairman, Crosswinds District
“Great Boy Scouts earn their Eagle. Great Boy Scout leaders earn their Wood Badge beads.”
-Troop Committee Member, Three Rivers District
“I felt like I was a scout, learning and having fun at camp. What an awesome experience.”
