Timely Reminder!
|
 Troop Leaders: As Webelos II Scouts cross the bridge into your troop, remember to turn in their Youth Application and turn it in at the Rowan Scout Resource Center with their $1 transfer fee so they are registered in your troop. Contact your Unit Commissioner if you need assistance in doing so.

Remember to Report Your Unit Advancements Monthly
All Cub Scout and Boy Scout ranks, and all Venturing awards must be reported to local councils. The best and most accurate method is through the BSA's Internet Advancement (through www.myscouting.org). The paper form, Advancement Report, No. 34403, may also be submitted, as may electronic files generated by unit management software such as TroopMasterŽ
Units should report advancement monthly, but at least quarterly. This assures member records are complete. Missing reports are a serious issue, for example, when it comes to documenting advancement for boards of review, the Eagle Scout rank, and membership transfers or reinstatements. To reflect an accurate count in the Journey to Excellence performance recognition program, it is also important that all advancement for a calendar year be recorded during that year.

Scouting Is Full Of Great Stories -
Share Yours!
We've launched the Jamboree Fireside Stories project to record the experiences that make the national Scout jamboree such an incredible, can't-miss-it event. If you've been to a national jamboree, you probably have a great story to share.
We want to record it and share it with all of Scouting!
It's easy:
1. Call 1-786-7-JAMBO-7 (that's 1-786-752-6267) and follow the instructions on the message. (Normal calling rates apply.)
2. Or, you can pre-record your story and upload it on
Sound Cloud
Want to read more about the Fireside Story project and hear the first submission? Check out this post on the Summit Blog:
Fireside Story Project
Let your voice be a part of Scouting's history!
If you know someone who's been to several national jamborees and would have a great story to tell, forward this email to them!

Mount Laurel Disaster Exercise Requesting Volunteers
On Saturday June 23rd, Mount Laurel Township will be participating in a countywide full scale disaster exercise to test our sheltering capability. The exercise will start at 8am and we will have two shelter shifts 9am to Noon and then noon to 3pm. We are looking for Boy Scouts, and Cub Scouts to serve as simulated patients to have Red Cross and Community Emergency Response Team Volunteers check in , care for, feed and checkout simulated evacuees in the shelter. Each simulated evacuee will be given a script and some will be given problems for the shelter staff to solve including medical treatment for minor injuries. The scenario will be a simulated tornado that went thru the Medford/Mount Laurel Area near Lenape High School causing damage to many homes.
We are looking for up to 50 simulated evacuees for each of the two periods. A box lunch will be served. Please let us know if the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts Troops can help. We were hoping that they could also all earn badges for their community service.
If you need any additional information please call me at 609-820-3278 or email me.
Thanks,
Francis W. Pagurek
