Tonight we discussed various upcoming activities. We have Leader Specific Training coming up at the Pella LDS church on November 19th. It is hosted by the Oakley Stake.
Scouting for food is this Saturday on the 5th. Further out we have the Klondike to start planning for in February. For those who have not gone to Wood badge, another opportunity will be coming in June 5-10 2017. If we start planning for it now, perhaps those who have not gone yet can attend. Finally we discussed a program that scouting has regarding Scouts and Outdoor ethics. Scouting has a program that deals directly with the outdoor code. A boy scout can also advance in earning these awards, qualifying for the lower award and then moving on to earn the higher award. These two awards emphasis the principles of the Outdoor code, leave no trace, and tread lightly, principles all scouts should already be practicing on their monthly campouts. This is a great incentive and a great program to award to those scouts who may have no interest in the traditional route of earning Boy Scouts Ranks (Scout through Eagle) but love the outdoors and to attend outdoor activities. The Lower award is called the Outdoor Ethics Awareness Award and goes over the basic ideas of Outdoor Ethics. The next award is the Outdoor Ethics Action Award available to both Boy scouts and Scouters. The requirements can be found online at scouting.org at http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/OutdoorProgram/OutdoorEthics/Awards/BoyScout.aspx
