Page 2 noteworthy 2010 National Boy Scout Jamboree The highly anticipated 2010 National Scout Jamboree will be held July 26th through August 4th, 2010 at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. Eligible Scouts should not miss out on this “once in a lifetime” opportunity! Help spread the word so that every Scout in the council knows about this event. Look for youth applications at www.cpcbsa.org/register. Now is not too early for eligible Scouts to make the decision to apply for a spot in the council contingent. Tour Details: Our contingent will leave 7-10 days prior to the Jamboree and tour sites such as Washington D.C., Arlington Cemetery, the Capitol, all the monuments, the Smithsonian Museums, Gettysburg, Colonial Williamsburg, Mt. Vernon, Busch Gardens, and many other sites. A trip to the Jamboree is more than just a Scouting experience; the tour makes it an educational experience too! Where is Jamboree? It will be held at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. After a once in a lifetime experience at the “Centennial Jamboree” we will return home a few days later. Who can Attend? Scouts: A Scout who has completed the 6th grade, or will be at least 12 years old and a 1st Class Scout by July 1, 2010, but will not have reached his 18th birthday by August 3, 2010. He also agrees to live and abide by the Scout Oath & Law, and the Jamboree Code of Conduct. The limited number of Cascade Pacific Jamboree Troops is anticipated to fill very fast due to this being the Centennial Jamboree. When youth apply they will be placed into the nearest Jamboree Troop to them that is not full yet, so apply early! How Much Will it Cost? The fee for this very extensive trip is $2950 per Scout. Contingent Organization: Participating in National Jamboree can only be as a member of a Council Contingent. After youth apply they are placed into a “Provisional Jamboree Troop” of 36 youth, and 4 adult leaders. Don’t let youth miss out on this ultimate celebration of Scouting’s 100th Anniversary. Share information about this opportunity. For more information or answers to questions please contact: Shari Spencer, sdsportland@yahoo.com, (541) 258-5327 or Jack Branch, jackdbranch@yahoo.com, (360) 751-2896. Need more information? We are holding an informational meeting on October 14, 2008 starting at 7pm in the Portland office. This will be geared towards youth and their parents who are not yet signed up for Jamboree who are looking to get questions answered. If you are already signed up you do not need to attend this information meeting.

October 2008 Page 3 Planning, Preparation, and Program Delivery This month I would like to focus, with you, on Planning, Preparation, and Program Delivery, with some personal thoughts. Planning – Good unit planning resulted Ron Garland Scout Executive in an increase of 6% youth attending CPC camps in 2008, and an even larger increase in adults participating. Planning is paying financial dividends now for units selling popcorn. Planning (and wood cuts) will allow hundreds to take advantage of the council’s winter lodges. And Planning will result in an excellent fall recruiting program, followed up by training of new adult volunteers. Think about it. Preparation – As Oregon prepares for its 150th Birthday in 2009, and the BSA its 100th Birthday in 2010, now is the time to prepare for celebrating these great milenoteworthy Page 3 stones. In Oregon, a plan has evolved known as Oregon 150. Go online at www.oregon150.org/projects and learn how your unit can fit into this celebration and allow Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to meet certain advancement requirements. For Washington units, now is the time to Prepare for Scouting Anniversary month and the opportunity to thank charter partners and the community at large for supporting Scouting . . . Program Delivery – October is the month when council leadership meets to establish the council’s operating budget for 2009. The budget for your council represents the program of the council, interpreted in dollars. The expense includes staff, camps, utilities, insurance, and many more items that support a unit and its annual program. Watch for more information concerning how all of us can be involved in carrying out the program desired. I am proud to be a Scout. Scout Executive Ron Garland, Council Commissioner Jeff Smith and Council President Gene Grant enjoyed a great Key 3 training session at Philmont Scout Ranch this summer. Every registered leader received an invitation to attend the Philmont Training Center in New Mexico. For more information about attending Philmont head to our web site at www.cpcbsa.org or talk with your District Training Chair or District Executive. Celebrate Oregon’s 150th Birthday with ‘Take Care of Oregon Days’ On February 14th, 2009, Oregon is turning 150, and we think that calls for a celebration. For this grand event, Oregon 150 (Governor Kulongoski’s planning commission for the state’s sesquicentennial in 2009) has commissioned SOLV, Oregon Volunteers, and Rural Development Initiatives, Inc. to bring you the largest volunteer event in the State’s history - Take Care of Oregon Days! Oregonians from every corner of the state are invited to roll up their sleeves during Oregon’s birthday commemoration to give back to their state. Be one of the 20,000 volunteers expected to celebrate the State’s 150th birthday by cleaning up their downtowns, holding food drives, painting murals in local schools, or working on whatever their communities need to be their best! Another great perk - getting to know your fellow community members even better! Take Care of Oregon Days will take place throughout the month of May, 2009. In the meantime, you can: • Get the training and support you need to plan your own volunteer activity at one of the 30 free Volunteer Action Trainings we’re offering around the state this fall. o To sign up for a training, visit http:// www.solv.org/programs/volunteer_action_ training.asp • Coordinate your own project and register your TCO event online. o Register your event at http://www.solv. org/programs/forms/form_tco_app.asp • Participate in one of the hundreds of volunteer projects that will be happening next May (check back for online volunteer registration in October). If you would like to register for a training session in your area, set up a project, or want to learn more in general, feel free to give us a call (800-333-7658), drop us a line (tco@oregon150.org), or visit us at www.oregon150.org. 100% Quality Districts in 2010
