Volunteer Planned Cuboree Open For Registration (Triune District)

Cuboree Planned For (and by) Local Packs

Cub Scout Camping is Back! Over the past 18 months, scouting has surged in the City of Philadelphia, exposing Philadelphia youth to citizenship, adventures, archery, camping, science achievements, and so much more. The Triune District Executive, Anthony Weiss, took note of this new cadre of Cub Leadership and approached Packs 16 (White Rock Baptist Church), Pack 147 (Trinity Lutheran Church), and Pack 133 (St. Thomas African Episcopal Church) to bring back the long lost Cuboree.

In January the Packs of the Triune District began meeting and immediately invited other Packs to join in and collaborate. Packs 98 and 189 joined with the other packs. Camp HART was selected for the site during the weekend of Friday, May 13 - 15, 2011. Activities are scheduled to include fishing, camp fires, hiking, and so much more!

Terry Johnson, Cubmaster Pack 16 says "this is a great time for our Cubs to get re-introduced to the woods and away from the video games". Ms. Curry, Den Leader, Pack 189 added "I am looking forward to working with other Packs!". "We have gone camping before, but not this big of a camping event," stated Mr. Winfield, Cubmaster, CP 98. Mr. Wilson, the Assistant Cub Master for CP 133 remarked "scouting has a proven pathway of success for our youth. It is great that Packs from in and around Philadelphia will get a chance to scout and grow together."

Campership Forms Available

Its that time of season! Camperships are need-based aid provided to scouts attending Cradle of Liberty sponsored camping programs.  This aid can reduce the cost of camp by up to 50%.  To apply, you will need to fill out the below application, and submit it to your Unit Leader for their certification.  Once it is certified, camperships should be submitted to Anthony Weiss (District Executive) with a 50$ deposit for each application.  All applications must be received by May 1st.  For more information, please contact Anthony Weiss.

Camperships are available for our council-sponsored camps, including Cub Scout Day Camp, Cub Adventures at Camp Hart, Cub Weekends at Camp Garrison, and Boy Scout Summer Camp at Resica Falls.

Download your campership form here.

Cub Scout Summer Camping Opportunities
Cub Scouts have the opportunity to participate in three unique programs this summer.  If your Pack would like to stay local, the Triune District is recommending the Northern District Day Camp, which is held the week of July 27th.  If you are looking for a sleep-away opportunity, we recommend signing up for either Cub Adventures or Cub Weekends at Camp Garrison.

Friends of Scouting Season
Friends of Scouting is our annual giving campaign to assist in sustaining Scouting in the Philadelphia region.  The monies contributed to this campaign help fund programs such as:

  • Camperships to in-need families
  • Scout Resource Centers in Philadelphia and Valley Forge
  • 2 camping reservations operating a total of 4 camps
  • Cub Scout Summer Camping
Please contact Anthony Weiss (District Executive) to schedule a Friends of Scouting presentation for your unit.  You can make you pledge now by going to colbsa.org/fos

New Tour Plan

The tour permit process was replaced effective March 1, 2011.  Units planning to travel for an outing will now need to file a “Tour Plan” with the local council.

In order to make for a smooth transition for volunteers, and given that national council only recently announced these changes, we will still review plans filed on tour permit applications if submitted in the next few weeks.

Just be aware that new trips being planned that require council review will need to have the new “Tour Plan” form submitted. Attached you will find the new Tour Plan Worksheet and a document prepared by our Risk Management Committee that might be helpful to you as a unit leader.

For further information, visit the national “Tour Plan” website. Please dispose of any “Tour Permit” forms you may have and replace them with the attached “Tour Plan” forms.

Key differences in the new plan include:

-The council is the reviewer of all tour plans; no regional review is required.
-The tour plan consists of a tour planning worksheet that is completed by the unit/contingent. After processing, the council retains the tour planning worksheet and returns the tour plan to the unit.
-The plan can be printed on standard 8 ½-by-11-inch paper!
-21- vs. 14-day advance notice requested for units to submit the plan for your review.
-A single point of contact (not on the tour) for council use included.
-Defined reasons/times when a tour plan must be submitted for council review.
-Updated Pledge of Performance.

For more information and to download the new Tour Plan form, please visit:

Fwd: ANNUAL BSA HEATLH AND MEDICAL RECORD

 
-----Original Message-----
From: brock.man@comcast.net [mailto:brock.man@comcast.net]
Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2011 10:33 AM
Subject: ANNUAL BSA HEATLH AND MEDICAL RECORD

Dear Parents,

 

During the entire month of March you will hear me ask for your Scout's Medical Form.  This is the large two page medical form that must be completed by your Scout's physician.  If you have not turn this form in you should do so now. This form is especially critical if your Scout is going to summer camp.  Every year there is a problem where medical forms are submitted late or submitted but not filled out properly.  By turning your medical form in now, it can be reviewed and it ensures we have the medical form ready in time for camp.

 

The importance of the medical form cannot be understated.  Hopefully it will never have to be used, however in a medical emergency, this form could be vital in ensuring that your Scout receives the proper medical treatment, especially if there are special circumstances, such as certain illnesses, medications, allergies, etc.  Additionally this medical form ensures that the proper contact information is on hand. 

 

Also, this is an annual form meaning it expires after one year.  All returning Scouts should have received this form in September.  This form will be distributed again in September at the beginning of the Scout year.  Each year you will need to have this form completed.  The expectation is, once you receive the form you will get it completed and turn it in as soon as possible.  Therefore the due date is as soon as you can get the form completed and no later than the end of the March.  If you are a new Scout and just joined, the expectation is the same that you will get the form completed as soon as possible.

 

If you have not turned in your form, please make an appointment with your Scout physician now to be able to turn your form in as soon as possible.  The form is online at http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/34412.pdf  If you need a copy of the form you can print it out from here.  Additionally you can fill out information online and print it out.  You may print it as separate 11 x 81/2 sheets or by one 11 x 17 sheet.  We also have forms available at every Scout meeting. 

 

Please follow these instructions:

 

   1.  Do not attach immunization records to the form.

   2.  Do not attache a copy of the physical to the form.

   3.  Read the form completely and fill in all necessary information.

   4.  Please take note to fill in the immunization information.

   5.  Once the form is completed make a copy for yourself.

   6.  You must attached a copy of your health insurance card. (This is the only document that can be attached).

 

 

The importance of your cooperation on this matter is part of our number one priority and this the safety and well being of all our Scouts.  I must insist that you take the time to attend to this matter. If you have already submitted your form, I appreciate your cooperation.  If you are having problems getting a doctor's appointment or some other issue, please contact me immediately and will try to find a way to help. However, please contact me as soon as possible.

 

Additionally there is another one page form titled 'Personal Health and Medical Record Class 1'.  This form should be completed as well.  This form does not require a doctor's signature and should be filled out and turned in right away.  This does require recording immunization dates.  If you have that information bring it to the next Scout meeting and a form will be available for you to fill out.  The purpose of this form is to provide basic health information for leaders to have on file.

 

Thank you,

 

Yours in Scouting,

 

J.R. Brockman
