Training:  Cub Leader Specific  Part 2

Special Fall Recruiting Training at 6:00pm

This Camporee will emphasize the Patrol Method and Scout skills, and will involve youth as key staff members.  The Patrol Method focuses on both leadership and teamwork, which are critical to the success of the Patrol and the unit.

In addition, the Spanish Trails District Training Committee will be running an Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills course.  This is required for all Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, and Varsity Coaches to complete one time during their tenure.  The course will run all weekend and is separate from the camporee activities.  Leaders wishing to participate in the course must ensure that there is still two-deep leadership in the unit.

With the presidential election coming up in 2008, it is a good time to restate the BSA’s long-standing policy regarding the participation of Scouts in political rallies and other political events.

Uniformed unit members and leaders may participate in flag ceremonies at political events and may lead the Pledge of Allegiance; however, they should retire after the ceremony and not remain on the speakers’ platform or in a conspicuous location where television viewers could construe their presence as an endorsement or symbol of support. In addition, photos of candidates or Scouts in uniform or BSA marks and logos are not allowed in political campaign materials of any kind.

Volunteers and professionals must be alert to situations that would imply that the BSA favors one candidate over another. Strict observance of our long-standing policy against the active participation of uniformed Scouts and leaders in political events is mandatory.

If you have any question on this policy as it applies to your unit's upcoming political campaign  Please contact either your District Director Teno Navarro (Teno@catalinalinacouncil.org)  or your Scout Executive Joseph N. Daniszewski

I have put these together in a way that I felt was the most logical.  Now its time to get your input.  I have put together a little survey that I would like you give me your opinions. Tell me what you like, what you dislike and what would you change.
