| On Monday, January 18, an airplane piloted by our friend, colleague,
and fellow Scouter Bill Moser (T500) apparently went out of control,
striking a hangar before hitting the ground. Bill was conscious but
remained trapped in the wreckage for some time before he could be
extricated. He is in intensive care at Vanderbilt University Medical
Center in Nashville. The prayers, thoughts, and good wishes of a
tremendous number of friends and fellow Scouters seem to be working as
he is now stable. Bill faces a long recovery process and he and his
family will need your continued prayers and the strength of the Scouting
community in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
23-Jan-2010: Bill continues his recovery and he and his family are
very thankful for all the prayers and support from their Scouting
family. He still has a long trail to travel but we all know Bill
well enough to know that he'll come out at the far end with a smile on
his face. |

Has your Troop gone camping this year? Does your unit put
the outing in Scouting? If your answer is yes (and it should
be), your unit should get credit for its camping experience.
The BSA National Camping Award can be earned by any troop that has
at least 50 percent of its youth members attending resident camp. On
other campouts, at least 33 percent of your Scouts must be in
attendance for each twenty-four-hour period to count as a camper day
to qualify for the troop ribbons. Annual unit award ribbons
are available for 10, 20, 30, and 50 or more days. Cumulative
award ribbons, with individual patches available, can be earned when
units reach a lifetime total of 10012 250, 500, and 1000 qualified
days of camping. Tell us about your camping trips
here. The information
will go to the District Camping Chair to help our district do a
better job of tracking camping days and making sure that units get
the recognition they deserve. To earn the award, however, you
still need to complete and submit the application form! Forms
can be mailed to the Council office, given to the Senior DE, the DE,
or brought to the January roundtable.

Attention Arrowmen, the Anawaha Chapter of the
Order of the Arrow meets monthly beginning at 6:30 on the same night
and at the same location as Roundtable. Troops and crews
should encourage the OA members in their units to attend chapter
meetings whenever possible. OA Troop Representatives should
definitely attend the monthly meetings. |
Calling All Committee Chairs
You know those adult volunteers that
really make your unit GO? Sometimes even the most dedicated
volunteers need to be recognized for their service to Scouting. It's never
too early to begin thinking about nominating your adults for
District awards.
There are awards appropriate for just about every level of service, from the
Trailblazers to recognize and encourage your new adults to the Western Grizzard.
And KNOTS, don't forget the knots.
There are a number of knots that your adults can earn. The knot that every
adult should have is the training knot. Go the the
Training
page on this site and follow the links to get descriptions of the knots and
their requirements.

We Set An Example
"Success in training the boy largely depends upon the
Scoutmaster's own personal example. It is easy to become the hero
as well as the elder brother of the boy. We are apt, as we grow
up, to forget what a store of hero worship is in the boy."
"The Scoutmaster who is a hero to his boys holds a
powerful lever to their development, but at the same time brings
a great responsibility on himself. They are quick enough to see
the smallest characteristic about him, whether it be a virtue or
a vice. His mannerisms become theirs, the amount of courtesy he
shows, his irritations, his sunny happiness, or his impatient
glower, his willing self-discipline or his occasional moral
lapses - all are not only noticed, but adopted by his
followers."
"Therefore, to get them to carry out the Scout Law and
all that underlies it, the Scoutmaster himself should
scrupulously carry out its professions in every detail of his
life. With scarcely a word of instruction his boys will follow
him." -- Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell
