The mascots are a great hit at back-to-school nights, school lunch, recess, and classroom visits. Mascots need to be escorted by a ‘handler’ who will help the person wearing the costume. A $50 deposit per costume is due when they are picked up. Reservations can be made six months in advance at the Portland Volunteer Service Desk. Compass Points A Great Resource — Tiger Mobile Truck The Tiger Mobile truck is a Ford Explorer that has been decorated with Tiger Stripes. The Tiger Mobile is available to use free of charge to any registered adult, 25 years of age or older, licensed and insured, for Cub Scout publicity. Many packs use the Tiger Truck at parades, at back-to-school nights, and at the Join Night. It is expected that the Tiger Mobile will be returned groomed and well fed, clean and full of gas. Reservations for the Tiger Mobile can be made one year in advance of the date. For example, the earliest a reservation can be made for October 31, 2009 is October 31, 2008. To reserve the truck, contact Lisa Sheehan at 503.225.5749 or lsheehan@cpcbsa.org. Pinewood Derby Cars are Back The Cascade Pacific Council will be providing pinewood derby cars to every registered Scout in packs that achieve a 10% growth in youth membership over the December 31, 2007 report for their pack. This was a popular incentive for packs to recruit more boys over the previous year. Need more recruiting ideas? Be sure to talk to your district membership chair or your district executive when attending your district membership kickoff to get more information on how to receive your cars. Flyers & Stickers & Postcards The council office staff is happy to provide the printed flyers and stickers for distribution in schools. The ‘Fall Roundup Support Request’ form is a sheet to help volunteers select which flyers to use and to make sure all the needed information is provided. Copies of the form are available on the council web site, on the Forms link. Additional information may be printed on the back of the flyer by providing a master copy in black and white with the request form. Completed forms may be faxed, mailed, e-mailed or delivered in person to the council. Flyers and stickers are generally available for pick up four working days from when the flyer request is made. Cub Scout volunteers may contact the Portland or Salem Scout offices to have flyers made.
m e m b e r s h i p October 2008 Page 15 National Parent Initiative Scouting has always depended on volunteer registered adult leaders, primarily Parents of Scouts, to lead packs, troops, crews and ships. It is also part of Scouting’s tradition that most parents who are not registered leaders pitch in from time to time to help out. To encourage involvement and more engagement of volunteers at all levels, the Boy Scouts of America has developed the National Parent Initiative. The National Parent Initiative is a unique opportunity to engage more parents in Scouting, especially at the unit level. The emphasis is on capturing a parent’s interest and support in becoming more involved and committed to the success of their child’s Scouting experience. It will enhance youth and adult enthusiasm, recruitment, retention, achievement, and family FUN of Scouting with a passionate commitment by all who participate. A new position has been created and will officially be part of the program on Sept. 1, 2008. the adult application will allow for registration in this position, as well as making their commitment on the youth application. ScoutParents Unit Cordinator All units are encouraged to appoint at least one ScoutParent unit coordinator who will serve as a registered member of the unit committee or as one of its assistant leaders. The ScoutParent unit coordinator welcomes all parents to the unit and keeps them informed by doing the following: 1) Assign parents to help with at least one specific task, assignment, or project annually 2) Provide an orientation for all parents about how the unit works and the benefits to their family. 3) Keep parents updated on the unit’s program and their child’s involvement. ScoutParent Those parents who are willing and able to committ to their Scout’s unit are invited to become ScoutParents. There is a wide range of tasks and they vary as to time and skills required. Examples of potential tasks: financial support, assist with outings, performing an occasional task, etc. Cub Scout Den Leader kit Every new Den Leader should have the resource titled Den Leader Kit. The folder contains many resources that a Den Leader will find valuable to them in their new position. First impressions are important and Cub Scouting is no different. Boys join Scouting for excitement, to be with friends, and to have fun. If your first meetings are fun they will want to come back next month. Contents include Fall Program Helps, Program ideas for the first Month of Den Meetings, Planning guide and directions on how to become a Trained Leader. You can get copies of this kit from your District Executive. Cub Scout Open Houses What does every new boy want when they join in the fall? To go to camp, of course! So, be sure to invite all of your new cub scouts to one of the council cub scout open house opportunities in October. The Cub Scout open house will offer a variety of camp activities, including games, crafts, Archery, BB Guns, and they will even get a patch. The cost for all of this fun? Nothing. The invitations will be included in the fall round up packets each pack will receive at their district membership kickoffs in August. Cub Scouts can choose from two October weekends at four locations: Saturday October 18, 2008 Cub World and Camp Ireland Saturday October 25, 2008 Cub World, Gilbert Ranch, and Lewis Bring a friend and be sure to dress for the weather!
