5 Cub Scout Pack 222 News Macedonia Baptist Church Raleigh, NC Sky-high Popcorn Prizes Traditionally Pack 222 has tried adding incentives to the popcorn fundraiser to encourage Scouts to do their best. In the past this has been some sort of party, and in one case, the Cubmaster even went bald at a pack meeting. This year, almost half the boys in the Pack met the challenge for their individual sales goal and got to participate in an outing to Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Facility in Raeford, NC. While Scouts can't go skydiving, there seems to be no prohibition to entering a very, very, VERY windy room. Winner Class B T-shirts In late 2012, sponsored a contest on with the grand prize being a new Pinewood Derby track. The Pack parents did there best to enter daily, as the rules allowed. The Pack didn't win first place, but did win the third-place prize, which was Pinewood Derby T-shirts for everyone in the Pack! So for our Pinewood Derby, the uniform of the day was the custom Pack Pinewood Derby T-shirt. The best part was that the boys were allowed to pick the design! Gubernatorial Inauguration Parade On Saturday, January 12, 2013, Cub Scout Pack 222 and Troop 22, of Macedonia Baptist Church, Raleigh, participated in the gubernatorial inauguration parade. Afterwards several of the Scouts toured the governor s mansion and several met the Governor and other elected officials. One of our Scouts who had recently been in an accident was even on TV with the Governor. Carl Sommer Cubmaster Pack 222 "Where Eagles Are Born" Occoneechee Scout Sign May 2013 Vol. 9 #5 5

11 Unleashing The Fire Within Building a Legacy to Last a Lifetime By Todd Goldfarb Occoneechee Lodge Chief On Friday, April 19, 2013, Scouts from across North Carolina descended upon Camp Durant for the annual gathering of Cardinals, Conclave 2013! Although, we did not elect the pope, Occoneechee Lodge had a blast hosting the Order of the Arrow Section SR 7B with our Southern Hospitality theme at the Cardinal Conclave. With over a year in planning for this event, all eyes were on the Occoneechee Conclave committee as the delegates arrived. Conclave has a tradition of presenting awesome programs to the delegates. The Order of the Arrow experierence (aka OAX ) was a major hit with 44 exhibitors! Each exhibit was designed to teach something, show something or make something. Indian Affairs competitions, Quest for the Golden Arrow, and a pow wow were among the other programs. All of our hard work culminated at the Show on Saturday night, ending with a fireworks display. Following the show, Occoneechee Lodge facilitated a new program called Cardinival at the Grand Lodge. With smiles all around, the ten months of preparations had paid off. The Occoneechee Lodge had more than 700 host team members and without the dedicated leadership of our Conclave Chairman, Jonathan Boggs we would have never made it. Jonathan lead a team of a dozen committee chairs and their Advisers who each served in a critical role. These consisted of Finance, Shows, Logistics, Food, Traffic and Security, Health and Safety, Communications, Vigil Rededication, Campsite Hosts, VIP, Ranger Action Team, Indian Affairs, Cardinival, and Trading Post. As Conclave comes to a close, we remember the 1701 arrowmen at camp and the legacy we left. After this weekend, the Occoneechee Lodge has it s head held high with memories to last a lifetime. Next year, the section moves to Camp Bowers with host, Klahican Lodge.

17 O CCONEECHEE COUNCIL, BSA NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING Friday, June 14 Sunday, June 16, 2013 and Friday, June 28 Sunday, June 30, 2013 What is NYLT? The National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) course was developed by the Boy Scouts of America to provide local councils with a standardized training course for the youth leaders of Boy Scout troops, Varsity teams, and Venturing crews (male and female). This two extended-weekend course is designed to parallel and complement the training that their adult leaders receive in Wood Badge. Experience shows that NYLT makes a positive difference in the lives of its graduates and in the operation of their units. Course Content NYLT uses the Patrol/Team Method in an outdoor setting to provide advanced training in Leadership Skills (communication, finding a vision, setting goals, planning, team development, problem solving, Leading EDGE, Teaching EDGE, resolving conflict, making ethical decisions, leading oneself, valuing people, etc.) Prerequisite Requirements NYLT is not designed to be the initial training for youth leaders. All participants will need considerable experience in outdoor living skills and the maturity to relate to the in-depth concepts presented in the Leadership Skills area. Although the course is a lot of fun, it is physically and mentally demanding. For these reasons, participants will need to meet the following requirements: Minimum age of 13. Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts must be 13 years of age and fall within the maximum age allowance for their program registration with outstanding Scouting spirit and team-player attitude. Be First-Class rank or higher with considerable experience in outdoor living (including at least one year of summer camp) and have completed Troop Leadership Training (TLT). Other youth participants must be at least 14 and fall within the maximum age allowance for their program. They must have completed Crew Officer Orientation, the Venturing Leadership Skills Course, or the new Crew Leadership Training. They must have an outstanding Scouting spirit, a team-player attitude and considerable experience in outdoor living. Good physical condition (must submit a completed copy of the Annual Health and Medical Record at beginning of course) Scoutmaster/Crew Leader s recommendation (must submit Scoutmaster/Crew Leader Nomination Form) Limited Enrollment Participation is limited to the first 48 qualified Youth Leaders who preregister. The cost is $230 for the twoweekend course. Applicants will need to submit their application (along with Scoutmaster/Crew Leader Nomination Form and $75 preregistration fee) to the Council Service Center. All Scoutmasters/Crew Leaders will be mailed a packet of information which can also be downloaded from If your Scout is going to summer camp and there is an overlap with NYLT, they should be able attend both. Sundays are check-in and orientation days at camp, but the Scout can join their unit even as late as Monday mornings and not miss any of the merit badge program. Likewise, most of the merit badge instruction is completed on Thursdays and Fridays are make-up days which would allow the Scout to leave camp in time to attend NYLT.

Wood Badge is the premier advanced hands-on leadership skills experience offered to volunteers of the Boy Scouts of America. Started by Sir Robert S. Baden Powell, Wood Badge's primary purpose is to strengthen Scouting in our units, districts, and local council. Encompassing two three-day weekends, the Wood Badge course allows Scouters of all backgrounds to come together at camp to extend their understanding of the youth they lead and the adults they work with, and to go to new levels of personal growth and learning. Many describe this course as a mountaintop experience in Scouting, the most fun they have ever had as an adult Scouter. Wood Badge is open to all registered Scouters who have completed the basic training requirements for their primary Scouting position. There is no minimum years of experience you must complete in order to attend Wood Badge. In fact, the earlier in your Scouting career that you attend Wood Badge, the sooner you can put those leadership skills to work to deliver the best Scouting program to the youth you serve. The course size is limited to 48 participants and spaces fill up quickly. Join us in 2013 at Wood Badge S !

There are so many ways I can help in Scouting, and now I feel empowered to do it! -Pack Training Chairman, Crosswinds District Great Boy Scouts earn their Eagle. Great Boy Scout leaders earn their Wood Badge beads. -Troop Committee Member, Three Rivers District I felt like I was a scout, learning and having fun at camp. What an awesome experience. -Assistant Scoutmasters, Cape Fear District If you can handle a crew of Scouts in the woods, you can handle Wood Badge. It's the best self-challenge experience there is. -Crew Advisor, Tuocs District People who delay taking this course are missing out. -Varsity Coach, Falls District For more information, Contact : Ronnie Padgette Course Director (919) rpadgette@nc.rr.com Occoneechee Scout Sign May 2013 Vol. 9 #5 22
