Scouts Of The Triune District Have Another Successful Fall Popcorn Sale

  Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Siblings, Parents, Grandparents, Volunteers, VFW's,
  and Churches all came together in the month of October to ask their
  communities to support local Scouting programs. Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts of
  the Triune District (North Philly, Center City, South Philly, West Philly,
  and Southwest Philly) asked neighbors, friends, relatives, parent
  co-workers, and community members to help them go to museums, zoos,
  aquariums, sports games, and camp. When our community was asked, they did
  not waver in their support.  Even in these challenging times, our Scouts
  were able to raise a record amount to help support their Scouting programs.

The Numbers

  This year, 11 units of the Triune District came together to sell over
  $37,500 of popcorn. Over $12,000 was earned by units to be used to reduce
  the cost of Scouting in Philadelphia. Scouts sold over 887 bags of Caramel
  Corn (a record!), and a total of 2,270 products! This year's top spot was
  held onto by Troop and Pack 133, with $11,369 in sales (~$3,900 in
  commission), followed up by Pack 16  with $10,713 in sales (~$3,600 in
  commission). Congratulations also go to Troops 16, 70, 98, 152,176 and Packs
  47, 98, and 176, who had a combined $15,559 in sales (~$4,600 in
  commission). We had over 260 scouting families raise money for their local
  Scouting Programs.

What's Next?

  Unit Leaders have finished placing orders for the recognitions that each
  Scout has earned.  Every Scout who participated in this year's sale will
  earn a _"Project Popcorn"_ Patch or Pin.  Those who were able to sell
  amounts above $250 should also receive a gift card to Walmart with values
  starting at $10, and going up to a maximum of $200.  In addition, those who
  sold over $600 will receive a limited-edition _$600 Club_ Patch, a
  [2]Zyclone, and an invitation to join the other _$600 Club_ members for a
  day of fun in 2012. Units are encouraged to not simply give the gift cards,
  patches, and zyclones at the end of the meeting to parents, but to make a
  formal presentation to each member of the unit and celebrate their
  achievements

Youth Protection - How We Keep Our Scouts Safe!

Leadership Selection

The Boy Scouts of America takes great pride in the quality of our adult leadership. Being a leader in the BSA is a privilege, not a right. The quality of the program and the safety of our youth members call for high-quality adult leaders. We work closely with our chartered organizations to help recruit the best possible leaders for their units.

The adult application requests background information that should be checked by the unit committee or the chartered organization before accepting an applicant for unit leadership. While no current screening techniques exist that can identify every potential child molester, we can reduce the risk of accepting a child molester by learning all we can about an applicant for a leadership position—his or her experience with children, why he or she wants to be a Scout leader, and what discipline techniques he or she would use.

Required Training

• Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers.
• New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training within 30 days of registering.
• Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.

Scouting's Barriers to Abuse

The BSA has adopted the following policies to provide additional security for our members. These policies are primarily for the protection of our youth members; however, they also serve to protect our adult leaders from false accusations of abuse.

• Two-deep leadership is required on all outings. Two registered adult leaders or one registered leader and a parent of a participant, or other adult, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required on all trips and outings. The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all Scouting activities. There are a few instances, such as patrol activities, when the presence of adult leaders is not required and adult leadership may be limited to training and guidance of the patrol leadership. With the proper training, guidance, and approval by the troop leaders, the patrol can conduct day hikes and service projects. Appropriate adult leadership must be present for all overnight Scouting activities; coed overnight activities—even those including parent and child—require male and female adult leaders, both of whom must be 21 years of age or older, and one of whom must be a registered member of the BSA. The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities.
• One-on-one contact is prohibited between adults and Scouts. One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is not permitted. In situations that require personal conferences, such as a Scoutmaster's conference, the meeting is to be conducted in view of other adults and youths.
• Separate accommodations are required for adults and Scouts. When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult other than his own parent or guardian. Councils are strongly encouraged to have separate shower and latrine facilities for males and females, as well as separate facilities for youth. When separate facilities are not available, separate times for male and female use and/or youth and adult use should be scheduled and posted for showers. Likewise, youth and adults must shower at different times.
• Privacy of youth is respected. Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers at camp, intruding only to the extent that health and safety require. Adults must protect their own privacy in similar situations.
• Inappropriate use of cameras, imaging, and digital devices is prohibited. While most campers and leaders use cameras and other imaging devices responsibly, it has become very easy to invade the privacy of individuals. It is inappropriate to use any device capable of recording or transmitting visual images in shower houses, restrooms, or other areas where privacy is expected by participants.
• No secret organizations are allowed. The Boy Scouts of America does not allow any secret organizations as part of its program. All aspects of the Scouting program are open to observation by parents and leaders.
• No hazing is allowed. Physical hazing and initiations are prohibited and may not be included as part of any Scouting activity.
• No bullying is allowed. Verbal, physical, and cyber bullying are prohibited in Scouting.
• Youth leadership is monitored by adult leaders. Adult leaders must monitor and guide the leadership techniques used by junior leaders and ensure that BSA policies are followed.
• Discipline must be constructive. Discipline used in Scouting should be constructive and reflect Scouting’s values. Corporal punishment is never permitted.
• Appropriate attire is required for all activities. Proper clothing for activities is required. For example, skinny-dipping or revealing bathing suits are not appropriate as part of Scouting.
• Members are responsible to act according to the Scout Oath and Scout Law. All members of the Boy Scouts of America are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the principles set forth in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Physical violence, theft, verbal insults, drugs, and alcohol have no place in the Scouting program and may result in the revocation of a Scout’s membership.
• Units are responsible for enforcing Youth Protection policies. The head of the chartered organization or chartered organization representative and the local council must approve the registration of the unit’s adult leader. Adult leaders of Scouting units are responsible for monitoring the behavior of youth members and interceding when necessary. Parents of members who misbehave should be informed and asked for assistance. Any violations of the BSA’s Youth Protection policies must immediately be reported to the Scout Executive.
