TRAINING  
BSA-certified Leave No Trace (LNT) Trainers Available For Your Units!

Did you know that the BSA is the official educator of the Leave No Trace (LNT) organization which includes the US Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau Of Land Management, and the US Fish And Wildlife Service?

And, did you know that our Scouts have LNT requirements for rank advancement?  Similarly, LNT training is included in some required adult leader training such as IOLS.

So, LNT training is needed for our Scouts and Scouters.

The good news is that Scripps-Mesa District has 3 BSA-certified LNT Trainers available to support your units:

 

 

 

They are 3 of the 47 BSA-certified LNT Trainers in San Diego-Imperial Council.  And, they're available to support the LNT needs for all units in Scripps-Mesa District.  So, if your training event needs an LNT Trainer or if your unit needs guidance regarding LNT, please contact them.  They are making themselves available to serve you.

Wood Badge in 2012

San Diego-Imperial Council is offering 2 Wood Badge Courses in 2012.  And, registration is now open!

You are cordially invited to continue your leadership training and dedication to Scouting's Aims and Methods by enrolling in the spring, 2012, Wood Badge Course.

Course W6-49-12-1 will be held May 18-20 and June 8-10, 2012 at Mataguay Scout Ranch. Both weekends are mandatory for completion of the course. Scout leaders must have a current BSA registration, have completed basic scout leader training (and in some cases, outdoor training) to qualify for the course.

The highest levels of leadership training are featured in this course, as well as a global view of scouting. Participants and staff from all levels of Scouting will join together for six days of concentrated study, goal setting and FUN!! Participants will live and train in the outdoors as they build friendships and associations that will last a lifetime. The principles of leadership will be taught to help scout leaders increase their ability to meet the needs of their units and inspire their youth to learn and to achieve at an even greater level.

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)
3 Courses Offered:
   - Course 1:
Sunday June 17 to Friday June 22, 2012 (48 participants max)
   - Course 2:
Monday June 25 to Saturday June 30, 2012 (48 participants max)
   - Course 3:
Sunday July 15 to Friday July 21, 2012 (48 participants max)

What is NYLT?  It is an exciting fun-filled week of training for youth leaders in Council troops, teams, crews, and ships.  The course models a month in the life of a scout unit with normal weekly meetings occurring daily, leading up to an outdoor experience (overnight output camp).  The course uses the team method and models a youth-led unit.  Teams are challenged early in the week to present to the course staff and participants their "Quest for the Meaning of Leadership".  Along the journey, teams will go through the stages of team development, and Scouts will develop and refine leadership skills.  Each session focuses on key knowledge and gives each Scout a toolbox of skills that equips them with the "how " of leadership.

For more details, visit the SDIC 2012 NYLT website at http://nylt2012.weebly.com.

TERRIFIC STORY FROM A SCOUT!

On March 3rd, the scouts of Troop 663 hiked to the top of Whale peak at elevation 5,300 ft above sea level. The hike started from Blair Valley. The first point of interest was the pictographs down near the trail head. Further up the climb, traces of snow were easily found and there was enough to assault theScoutmaster from many hiding spots. Retaliation was brutal. The weather was perfect with just a slight breeze. Cholla’s were plentiful and easily picked up. (Accidently of course) 23 scouts attended and completed the hike including some new scouts to the troop.  - Keoni

Scripps-Mesa received the 2011 Journey To Excellence Gold Award!

At the 2012 San Diego-Imperial Council Dinner, Scripps-Mesa was one of only 2 districts to be recognized with the 2011 JTE Gold Award.  Congratulations to each of our units.  And, thanks to everyone for making this happen together.  This is truly a team win.  And, one that our Scouts will surely benefit from.

GREAT JOB!

Boy Scout Troop 301 had forty-five hikers link 10+ miles of trails and paths in our wonderful Scripps Ranch at the post Thanksgiving "Tour de Scripps Ranch!"   Hoyt Park, Evans Pond, Miramar Lake, SR Trails Club, Lakeview Park, Jerabek Park and School were part of our trek.

Scouting.org has undergone a facelift and has lots of information to assist leaders, scouts and scout parents. The new site has information for Boys Scouts, Cub Scouts and developing new units.

Join Scouting

BE A SCOUT is ready to help with your unit recruiting. That means more exposure for Scouting and more leads for your unit. It also means that you’ll need to make sure that all your unit information is accurate.

Parents today often use the internet searches to find youth activities like Scouting. BeAScout.org uses Google Maps to help parents locate packs, troops, and crews near them and lets them request information from local Scout units.
