Mark Wilson - Council Commissioner

Glen R. Steenberger – Scout Executive/CEO

Who We Are: The Hoosier Trails Council, Boy Scouts of America, is one of more than 200 councils in the nation and serves roughly 6,000 registered members annually.

Our Mission - The mission of the Hoosier Trails Council, Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Scout Oath - On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law - A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

Our Vision - To be south-central Indiana’s foremost youth program of instilling positive character traits and developing values-based leaders.

Counties Served: Currently, the Hoosier Trails Council Service Center is located in Bloomington, Indiana, and serves 18 counties throughout south-central Indiana. The council is divided into four districts, each under the direction of local volunteers and a professional staff member.

Hoosier Hills District – Dearborn, Jefferson, Ohio, Ripley, & Switzerland counties

Lenni Lenape District – Bartholomew, Decatur, Jackson, & Jennings counties

Wapehani District – Brown, Monroe, Morgan & Owen counties

White River Trails – Daviess, Greene, Lawrence, Martin, & Orange counties.

Boy Scouts of America:

The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated on February 8, 1910. We recently celebrated one hundred years of providing America’s foremost comprehensive youth development program, and we have stepped boldly into our second century of service to American families.

How the Boy Scouts Work:

Community-based organizations receive national charters to implement the Scouting

program as a part of their youth programming. These groups, which have goals compatible with those of the BSA, include school groups, churches, civic clubs, fraternal and business

organizations, among others. Our programs are grade specific and age appropriate:

* Lion Cubs: Kindergarten

Tiger Cubs: First Grade

Cub Scouts: Second – Third Grade

Webelos: Fourth – Fifth Grade

Boy Scouts: Ages 11-18

Venturing: Co-Ed Programming Ages 14-20

Volunteers: Volunteer adult leaders serve at all levels of Scouting. Each volunteer provides guidance,

direction and supervision of activities for a specific group. Each volunteer is provided training to complete their role. These adults are the backbone of our organization’s success.


“Adventure! That’s what Scouting is. You are standing at the doorway to the most exciting adventures you can

imagine. Step into the world of Scouting, and you’ll find yourself hiking along trails, canoeing across misty lakes,

and camping under the open sky. Smell fresh rain in the woods and fill your mouth with the taste of wild

strawberries. At the end of a patrol bike hike, plunge into a cool mountain lake. Cook your meals over a camp

stove. Travel the back country with only what you can carry in your pockets and pack. Sound inviting? As a Scout

you can do this and more.”

- Boy Scout Handbook

Young people join our movement to taste this adventure and fun. The mission behind the Ideal Year of Scouting

philosophy is to help Scouting units fulfill young people’s need for adventure and deliver the promise. Units that

operate under an annual program plan, that young people help construct, are proven to be more successful and

make a more profound impact on the lives of their members. We promise young people the most exciting

adventures they can imagine and we had better be prepared to make it happen. How do you get buy-in and

commitment from your unit’s families when it comes to annual programming and fundraising needs? Your answer

to this question is the key factor to the level of success your Scouting program will enjoy.

Key components in planning your unit’s Ideal Year of Scouting:

Brainstorm what your unit wants to do for this Scouting year, include as many families as possible in the process. Develop a budget to determine expenses and compare them to your unit’s income. Calculate a per Scout cost for

the year. Develop a unit calendar to solidify the plan and to help communicate the upcoming adventures. Prepare an organized fundraising approach and clearly share expectations with families. The more the unit

makes the less money your families have to take from their wallets. Set a Unit Goal and set a Per Scout Goal. Every family needs to help pay their way either by fundraising or pay

the actual cost.

Program Brainstorming Scouting allows young people to follow their dreams, so their involvement in the planning of their annual program

is vital. Allow them to express their ideas in a non-threatening brainstorming session. There are no bad ideas,

some may seem wild at first, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. The more mature the Scouting unit, the more

youth should be involved in this planning. Cub Scouts may just participate in the brainstorming portion; however, a

Venture Crew may conduct the entire plan with only guidance from their advisors. To keep young people engaged

in your programs, they must have buy-in.

Brainstorming Ideas To Get You Started - The unit might plan and fund some of the following:

Program Ideas:

· Summer Camp

· Cub Scout Council Events

· Monthly Unit Activities

· Pinewood Derby

· Patrol/Den Activities

Unit Program Planning

Other Considerations When Planning:

BSA Registrations & Boys Life Magazine

Meeting Supplies/Awards & Recognitions

Den/Patrol Expenses/Training Courses

Unit Equipment

Uniforms/Personal Camping Equipment

Assistance for Low-income Scout Families

· High Adventure Bases

· National Jamboree

· Blue & Gold Banquet

· District Events


Program Idea Filtering Once there are several ideas on the brainstorming chalkboard, it is time to begin to filter them and allow the most

realistic ones to surface. Be cautious not to discount ideas for the youth, however, provide them with enough

information that will allow them to decide what components are most realistic to fulfill their Ideal Year of Scouting.

Calendar Construction Building an annual plan involves putting key dates into a unit calendar that will be shared with members and

parents. This calendar should be completed and made available at the beginning of the unit’s program year. New

Scouting families appreciate knowing what the year will consist of and providing a calendar is a great way to

welcome them. When constructing the calendar, consider the following points:

· Council Calendar Events, Camping, Trainings, etc.

· Unit Fund-raising efforts, FOS Presentation, Recruiting efforts, etc.

· School Vacations, Functions, Holidays

Annual Budget Planning Now that you know what you want to do and when you are going to do it, let’s figure out what it is going to cost.

For troops and crews, it is very important to involve the youth in this process. Look for opportunities to have a

lesson in finance management, or advancement. This is a chance to instill the value of a dollar in your youth. There

are also planning resources available in the Council Scout Shop to assist your process.

Budget Funding With a plan in hand, a decision must be made on how the newly constructed budget will be funded. Scouting is a

great program to teach young people to be self-sufficient and not rely on their family to finance their activities. A

well-organized fund-raiser fills this need. Today’s families are busier than ever and studies show that Scouting

families appreciate a well thought out fund-raising approach. Show families the exciting programs you have

planned, present them with a suggested fund-raising goal to pay for their participation and conduct a funding

approach that will allow them to achieve their goal. Don’t nickel and dime families with multiple fundraisers; focus

on one or two and be successful.

Evaluation & Annual Review The final component of the plan is to evaluate the year and look for positive aspects and for things that could be

done better. This annual review is a great opportunity to begin the planning process for the next year. By involving

as many unit members as possible, you can build a plan that serves the most families.

The magic behind this philosophy is simple; involve your unit in the construction of a program plan that excites

them. Then communicate the plan to families and the rest of the unit through a unit calendar of events and a

budget of funded Scouting expenses. Then present an organized fund-raiser and establish individual goals that will

fund each Scout’s Ideal Year of Scouting. Following this planned approach to your unit’s program year will lead to

exciting adventures. Paying for the fun will be much easier with a short, well-organized fund-raiser and

participants will be more successful when they know what the money is going towards. The unit will spend more

time Scouting and less time fund-raising.

Unit Program Planning


Outdoor Programs Maumee Scout Reservation: Maumee Scout Reservation is the main summer camping property

owned by the Hoosier Trails Council. MSR covers over 640 acres surrounding Lake Tarzian, a 64-

acre crystal-clear lake with bass, bluegill and other panfish to keep any fisherman happy. Aquatic

activities include: swimming, canoeing, rowboats and fishing. Other activities on the property

include: camping, hiking, bird-watching, tree and leaf identification as well as a variety of planned

events and activities for campers and guests.

Boy Scout Summer Camp: includes 5 week-long sessions during June and July each summer. Scouts have the opportunity to participate in over 40 different Merit Badges and outdoor adventures.

National Youth Leadership Training: (NYLT) is a week-long leadership training course for youth leaders in Troops, Teams, Crews and Ships. Participants learn to live and teach Scouting values and skills.

Camp Louis Ernst: Camp Louis Ernst is located near Madison, Indiana. There are two buildings

available for year-round use for unit camping: the Winter Cabin and Old Dining Hall, as well as

large activity fields, outdoor Chapel, and Campfire Bowl. Activities at Camp Louis Ernst include

an orienteering course, hiking trails, Leave No Trace Trail, mountain bike trail and general day or

weekend-camping. This property has a proud history and is targeted for expanded usage in the

council’s future.

Cub Scout Council Events STEAM-O-Ree: Awesome one day Cub Scout activity that supplements local pack programming.

Participants will have the opportunity to earn the following STEAM-related Cub Scout awards:

Computers, Geology, Mathematics, Map and Compass, Science, Weather, Engineer, and Scientist.

Boys can also work on earning their NOVA Award. Additionally, there will be a Pinewood Derby

clinic that gets down to the science of top speeds. The entire family is welcome to this fun event

that gives a jump start to earning Cub Scout advancements and will peak interest in cool

technologies of today!


Fish-O-Ree: The Cub Scout Fish-O-Ree is a day-long event for Scouts and potential Scouts and their families who are invited to attend this activity and bring a fishing pole to learn the fundamentals of fishing, have fun, enjoy fellowship, meet new friends, and eat lots of food.

Cub Scout Parent & Pal Adventure: Celebrate the best of what summer and the Cub Scouts have

to offer and enjoy the beautiful setting of Maumee Scout Reservation. This event begins with a

sack lunch on Saturday and then a great day and evening of programming and concludes with

Sunday breakfast. Overnight family camping is provided. Saturday Dinner, Sunday Breakfast, and

program supplies are included. Activities include: Shooting BB Guns, Archery, Sling Shots,

Games, Crafts, Potato Sack Racing, Nature Hikes, Boating, Fishing, Swimming, Campfire Program,

Shoot-O-Ree: The event is open to registered Cub Scouts, and is especially great for boys who

just joined the program. Cub Scout - age siblings may participate, provided they pay the event

registration fee and their parent or adult partner is present during the day. Activities will include

BB Shooting, Archery, Sling Shots, Water Balloons, Rubber Band Shoots, Marshmallow Shoots, and

more! Shooting activities (BB and archery) require instruction and a safety briefing. Safety

around firearms is a key lesson to learn in life.

the great opportunities in Boy Scouts, and to meet the Troops in their Districts. The Webelos will

travel to activity areas within camp to learn Scouting skills and put them to use. Boy Scouts and

Cooking, Knot-Tying and Lashing, Campsite & Tent Set Up, First Aid, Order of the Arrow,

Orienteering (Map and Compass), Boy Scout Merit Badge Programs, Boy Scout Summer Camping,

High-Adventure Opportunities, Patrol Method & Youth Leadership, Shooting Sports.


Methods of Successful Selling of Scout Popcorn:

Show & Deliver - This method provides the highest positive responses and has benefits over the Take Order method, as it often eliminates the return trip to deliver product. Scouts bring along corn as they go door to door. When a sale agreement is reached the Scout goes to the car, gets the product, and delivers it on the spot while the customer pays. If the desired product is not on hand, the Scout performs a Take Order and returns with the ordered product at a later time. You can return any unsold product to the council.

Take Order - This method involves uniformed Scouts going door to door to take orders for popcorn. Trail’s End research shows that about 3 in every 5 doors knocked on will result in a sale. Moreover, only about 20% of households are contacted about supporting Scouting. There is plenty of untapped market for the sale. Mom and/or Dad take an order form to their work. Fellow co-workers write their order on the order form. The parent then delivers the product and collects the money in a few weeks.

Show & Sell - This method involves setting up a table or booth at a high foot-traffic location (like a popular grocery store) where you can greet the public and offer your sale. Trail’s End research shows about 1 in 10 contacts will result in a sale. The best results occur when Scouts are very visible, because we are selling the Boy Scouts of America to our customers.

Selling On-line - For the first time on-line sales have been fully interrogated into the fall sales campaign. Just go to www.Trails-end.com and sign up for a Scout Account! This year you can also download the Trails End app on your Smartphone. This way everyone can order popcorn straight from your Scout’s account and it is shipped directly to them!

In 2017 we are aiming to maximize efforts in getting information out to Scouting units in a timely manner. We have included this condensed version of the Popcorn Unit Tool Kit in the Program Planning Annual Calendar. We will be giving the details of the sale, prizes, and warehouse locations at the Popcorn Kickoff ’s in August. See you all there!

For more information before the Kickoff ’s please contact Kevin Trojan at [email protected] or visit the popcorn page on the council website: www.HoosierTrailsBSA.org

Why Sell Popcorn?



Unit Commission Structure

We are striving to dramatically impact our sale outcome by knocking on more doors and increasing the number of containers sold over last year. This growth will increase the community awareness of Scouting and enhance the impact we are having on our participants. Your unit will benefit from being able to afford first-class Scouting programs.

Base Commission Above & Beyond Bonus

With Prizes 32% 40%

Cash Option (No Prizes) 36% 44%

The growth incentive applies to sales Above & Beyond the dollar amount sold in 2016 by the Scout unit. If your unit is new to the popcorn sale, please contact Glen Steenberger for additional help in determining your Above & Beyond Bonus.

This is a great way to make a huge impact with your unit’s fundraiser. It is important that your Scouts understand the mark they are shooting for, so communicate your unit’s sales goal and a per Scout sales goal. The more your unit’s families understand the impact the Popcorn Sale has on their experience, the more successful you will be!

Partnership Responsibilities with the Hoosier Trails Council:

Units keep their commission, paying the council for only what they owe for the product. This is done on or before October 25th, by writing a post-dated check (December 8th). This check is then placed in the BSA safe and not touched until 12/8/17, which gives units nearly a month to collect money and make sufficient local deposits to cover the check.

Returning product and our chocolate policy:

- Undamaged product that was checked out for Show & Deliver/Show & Sell purposes can be returned prior to October 25th, so it can be reassigned as inventory for use to fill the council’s Take Order Sale needs. Chocolate product cannot be returned.

- After October 25th, the council will not accept returned product and the unit will be billed for this product.

- Products can be returned during and of our Show & Deliver Warehouse Hours with no penalty; however, only 20% of a unit’s Show & Deliver order can be returned on October 25th without being assessed a 10% handling charge (based upon the average retail price of the returned items).

Show & Deliver/Sell orders are made in full case allotments.

Scouts must wear uniforms while selling and be accompanied by an adult.

Sales hours should not exceed 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Submit orders completely and on-time.

Prizes must be ordered by October 25th.

2017 Platinum Journey to Excellence Unit Recognition Program The Hoosier Trails Council, Boy Scouts of America is striving to provide quality, meaningful programs to the young people in our area, to aid them in achieving their full potential in life. It is understood that the true benefit of the Scouting movement comes directly from our Scouting units and if we are to improve the standard of our programs, units will make the difference.

In 2017, we will honor those units that go above and beyond the call of duty for the young people they serve. These special units will be designated as Platinum Level Journey to Excellence Units and will lead the way for the rest of the Council. This special recognition will not come easy, but will bring worthy praise and tools to continue to build and strengthen the unit.

Platinum Level Journey to Excellence Units will receive the following tokens for their heroic effort:

Collector’s edition Council Shoulder Patch for each registered member of the unit.

A framed Certificate of Achievement for the unit’s trophy case.

HTC Summer Camp/Activity Discounts, $5 per Cub Scout Registrant, $10 per Boy Scout Camp Registrant.

Just as a Scout’s honor is sacred, as is your commitment to provide the best programming possible, and we hope to recognize your unit as Platinum Level Journey to Excellence Unit.

Camping with Cub Scouts Fall Recruitment Plan #campingwithcubscouts

The Camping with Cub Scouts program is a special campaign designed to make your recruitment efforts as exciting as a Cub Scout’s first night under a blanket of a million stars. With a focus on the fun, learning and adventure of the great outdoors that is at the core of Scouting, this program invites families in your community to experience the adventures that only Scouting can offer.

Our fall recruitment campaign will focus on a community based marketing strategy and on having a successful join night at every elementary school. Other councils have had some significant success having one join night for their entire council area. Unfortunately we lack the resources to emulate this strategy entirely, but we can capture its spirit. Each community will have a unified join night for all elementary schools in that area. This allows us to blanket the area with marketing materials, raise the profile of Scouting locally, and deliver a unified message. Done right, this strategy will maximize our marketing resources, focus our volunteer efforts, and deliver a successful recruitment campaign. Whether your pack is recruiting in Camby or Columbus, Lawrenceburg or Lawrence County, you can organize a community campout to bring adventure to new and experienced Scouts.

Overview Conduct a registration event at every elementary school in the council.

Coordinate each registration event to happen on the same night in a community.

Utilize an incentive program that excites boys to join Scouts as well as providing a program for Packs to provide for their new Scouts.

Develop a marketing strategy that focuses on each community with a consistent message to go to the elementary school on one night to join Scouts.

Complete an individualized recruitment plan for each unit focusing on quality program and growth.

Provide an additional incentive to units who provide a quality planned program, a budget, and have a successful join night.

Incentive (Youth) To support this theme, every boy that joins Cub Scouts in August and early September will get free admission for himself and his family to the 2017 Cub Scout Shoot-O-Ree held on Saturday, September 16th at Maumee Scout Reservation. This is at least a $15 value. Additionally, Scouts that attend will have the opportunity to earn a Daisy BB Gun.

Incentive Criteria (Units) The key to a successful recruitment is a strong partnership with the local unit, a quality planned program, and an aggressive marketing campaign. The purpose of this incentive is to focus our efforts on a successful join night and to ensure a quality program for the new Scouts who join. When this is completed, the pack may select their award from the Cub Scout Camping Gear catalog which will be published in May.

Attend Retention Convention in May.

Attend the District Recruitment training held in June.

Complete a unit recruitment plan and develop a unit recruitment goal for the join night. This should be done in

conjunction with the District Executive and the goal should reflect significant growth over 2016. Market share,

retention rate, unit health, recruitment history, and year-end growth should all be important considerations in

determining this goal.

Submit a program plan and budget to the District Membership team by August 1st.

Have a unit volunteer attend the join night for each school that the unit traditionally recruits from. This unit

volunteer should be able to approve new members. Ideally it is the Cubmaster, the Committee Chair, or the

Chartered Org Representative.

Achieve the unit recruitment goal for the join night.
