Undoubtedly you are aware of the reorganization that has taken

place within the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This organizational evolution is considered essential to perpetuating our future as we strive to reach out to families and weave our Movement into the American cultural fabric. The days ahead for the BSA promise to be exciting and very successful.

Much of that success will come about due in large part to the passion, effort and commitment you demonstrate daily. The team of Professionals and Volunteer Leaders that have been assembled in the Central Region, at regional and local levels, is second to none. Never underestimate the value and worth you bring to Scouting.

For my part, I have been blessed to serve with you and to have the opportunity to deliver support and leadership to our now 79 councils. As so many Scout executives will attest, the finest legacy any staff leader can leave is the quality of the people – both professional and volunteer – that he or she has in place. During my three plus years I have had the serious responsibility to lead candidate selections for 39 of our 79 councils. Likewise, we have redesigned our Board to more effectively support local councils. Of our 55 board members, I have been fortunate to recruit 23 of them. I say this not to trumpet personal success, but to share with you that it’s our people that do and will make the difference in Scouting’s future. So many of you have shared kind comments as I head to my new position. Those only come because of the exceptional people that have been selected and those who proceeded. I wouldn’t change one selection or recruitment that has transpired.

So – my last thought to share with you is simple: Surround yourself with only the best people. Unqualified success will come your way in planned and unplanned ways.

I wish each of you only the very best of success and I look forward to visiting in the days ahead.

(Scot Neu, Senior District Executive, Ledge to Lakes, Bay-Lakes Council, Appleton, WI)

District growth in membership, manpower and money is the district executive’s ultimate goal and responsibility, and getting volunteers excited about those goals for growth ultimately makes your job easier and makes the district goals easier to obtain.

Ledge to Lakes District saw significant increases in June 30 membership for 2009 compared to 2008 (9%) and Friends of Scouting (104% of goal); this was in addition to two successful years prior – no ‘one hit wonders’.

The major difference - I changed my efforts related to recruiting people to fill necessary positions related to each campaign. That effort centered around asking more people both in units and the community about who they knew and who I should be talking to in order to fill necessary positions.

This helped me cultivate and recruit the CFO at my largest community’s largest employer and in turn, he brought on board seven other people, adding to a handful recruited already. The community campaign did 50% of its goal in two weeks, then met and exceeded goal with a big final push in late June.

The membership increase starts with retention. Retaining 70% or more kids at rechartering can set you up for success. A good program will draw the kids, which in turn has set the district up to exceed year-end membership goals.

Bottom line, get your volunteers (old and new) in the loop about where the district needs to be, let them know how they can help get there and give them the tools to do their part. People want to be part of a winning team, so make sure Scouting is their winning team.

Scholarships are an important way that NESA supports young Eagle Scouts. The association awarded annually more than $270,000 in scholarship money to about a hundred Scouts; the awards range from $1,000 to $48,000. The “NESA Scholarships” section of the Website lists the previous year’s scholarship recipients. More importantly at least for New Eagle Scouts—the section includes downloadable scholarship applications. Note that there are separate applications for the Hall/McElwain Merit Scholarships and for the Eagle Scout Academic Scholarship Program (which includes the Mabel and Lawrence S. Cooke, and National Eagle Scout Scholarship Fund scholarships). Applications are available online October 1, and the submission deadline is January 31, 2010. Be advised that only those applications postmarked after October 1, 2009, but no later than midnight on January 31, 2010, will be considered.

The largest scholarship awarded by National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) was established by Lawrence S. Cooke in memory of his late wife, Mabel Cooke. One Eagle Scout Academic Scholarship of up to $48,000 (up to $12,000 per year) and four $20,000 scholarships ($5,000 a year for four years) are given annually. The number of BSA Hall/McElwain Merit Scholarship for $1,000 varies annually depending on the funds available. Schol-arships provided are available for tuition, room, board, and books only. The scholar-ship applications can be downloaded from the NESA Website. We ask that your local council please link back to the following URL so your Eagle Scouts who apply for a college scholarship use the correct application, which is a mandatory requirement. Incorrect applications from prior years will not be accepted.

Here is that URL:

Woods Services Award The Woods Services Award is presented annually by the Boy Scouts of America for ex-ceptional service and leadership in the field of Scouts with disabilities. The award is made available each year by the Woods Service and Residential Treatment Center in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Each council may nominate one person for this award. The nomination forms were mailed to each council in the council packet in September or you can print a copy from BSA Info on ScoutNET, under the Program Group, then go to Leadership Support Service, then scroll down to Woods Services Nomination form. In January and February, a National Volunteer Selection committee will select one person to be recognized at the National Annual Meeting or at an appropriate regional event. Those councils whose nominees are not selected for the Woods Services Award may want to recognize their nominees with the Torch of Gold Award or some other appropriate local council award. Nominations are due in the National Office, by December 31, 2009 in order to be considered for selection.

What is a World Scout Jamboree?

Every four years, tens of thousands of Scouts, from every corner of the world, gather in a tented city for two weeks of activities and adventure!

This is a fantastic event where up to 40,000 Scouts live and learn together. This is an amazing first-hand experience of multiculturalism in action, an op-portunity to interact and participate with others from different cultures and to build solidarity and understanding across cultural and geographical bounda-ries. This is a World Scout Jamboree! Aimed at 14 to 17 year olds, Scouts attend the event in national groups, called Contingents. There is one Contingent from each Country where there are Scouts Recognized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), and currently there are 160 member countries in WOSM! The event is supported by thousands of international volunteers, and a special Scout solidarity fund helps to ensure that representatives attend from as many countries as possible. This is a peace building exercise on an enormous scale!

The World Scout Jamboree truly is an amazing and unique experience: for participants, for staff, and even for the visitors who come to see the camp in action!

Recruiter Recognition

Incentive Program

We would like to thank everyone that partici-pated in the first Recruiter Recognition Incentive Program. This was a year long program and recruiters received points for each applicant they recruited. The most points were awarded to applicants that passed the SRI, followed by employment at a council and PD-L1 completion.

A total of 84 professionals and 49 councils participated. These professionals alone brought in more than 120 applications. Of these applica-tions, 51 were hired at a council and have completed PD-L1. The winners were notified and prizes were selected and mailed to them in September. Among the prizes selected were GPS navigation systems, $100 Traveler’s Checks and MP3 players. The top three overall winners, with the most points, selected grand prize items which included laptops and flat screen televisions. The winners are listed below.
