Chris passed his Eagle Scout Board of Review back in November 2011...a year ago...but finally agreed to arrange his Eagle Court of Honor to share his Eagle Charge with us on October 21st at Poulsbo First Lutheran Church. It was a big crowd. Other than some great food at the reception, a big hit was the multimedia presentation his older, Eagle brother created for him. To set the stage, you may want to see the original presentation that was assembled for Jeff back in 2007. The story now continues here...

In the third week of August, the Crew sent two members, Nat W. and Nick W. to take part in Chief Seattle Council's second National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) course of the year. Nat went to experience the course as a participant, while Nick was on staff for his second consecutive year. He served as Assistant Course Leader (Program) for four of the six days.
After the original Course Leader left for a family vacation, Nick was promoted to Course Leader and worked with the Course Director directly for the remaining two days. This is astonishing due to the fact that, due to some complications, he almost didn't get to staff for a second time at all!
The second week of the NYLT course yielded an extremely enthusiastic group of participants - and an extremely high number of staff applications, with nearly the entire course seeking to serve as a staff member for the 2013 NYLT Season. A new fashion trend even emerged mid-course; wearing sleeping bags everywhere. The course photo, shown above, was even taken in this new style of dress! It will be extremely hard to choose next year's staff from such a bunch of highly-qualified scouts.
The staff experienced a great few weekends together training for the course and constructing some of the permanent NYLT structures up at Camp Sheppard. To apply for staff, you must demonstrate an exemplary performance during the year you are a participant and submit an application. To staff multiple years, you must be invited back by one of the course directors. As a reinforcement of their dedication to leadership, the staff are not paid. However, they do receive some pretty snazzy jackets. This course was noted by multiple adult staff members, including Harrison, the Camp Sheppard director, as one of the best they had ever seen. Thanks to all the participants and staff for a great week, and I hope to see you all at NYLT Week 2 2013! |

 It’s official: The resolution to move to one Oath and Law for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity, Sea Scouts, and Venturing was approved on October 17th by the Boy Scouts of America’s Executive Board.
Essentially, this means every Scout of any age will use the Scout Oath and Law instead of reciting separate, program-specific sayings. Cub Scouts will recite the Scout Oath and Law instead of the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack. Similarly, Venturers will no longer use the Venturing Oath and Venturing Code.
Because it will take time to transition into this new approach, the changes are not immediate. The Venturing change will not happen until late 2013 or early 2014; the Cub Scout change will take effect in mid-2015. Additionally, the newly adopted resolution replaces the full-hand Venturing sign and salute with the three-finger Boy Scout sign and salute.

 Congrats to Sam R., Zach T., and Bob T. for earning the 2011 Chief Seattle Council Venturing Leadership Award, or the VLA. The VLA is presented to Venturers and adults who have given exceptional contribution, dedication, and outstanding leadership to Venturing. The council can present 2 awards to the youth and 2 awards to the adults for up to 50 crews/ships, so this is a huge honor for not only the recipients, but for our whole Crew as well. We are proud to have among us such talented and dedicated individuals that will continue to seek truth, fairness, and adventure in our world. They will be recognized for receiving this award at the Fall Rendezvous on October 27th at 6 PM at Camp Parsons.
