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.

There are a limited number of openings available in the Middle Tennessee contingent to the National Scouting Jamboree (see the information at www.mtcbsa.org).  Scouts wishing to attend should register immediately through the link on the Middle Tennessee Council website.  Because we are so close to the event, Scouts will need to pay the $100 council registration fee plus an additional $500 to secure their slot in a troop.  Payment instructions and additional information about the Jamboree will be provided as quickly as possible to new registrants.  We’ve already had our first troop meetings so hurry!

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
