News About Gene Warber

Please note that Gene stayed 16 long days in the hospital and is now at home recuperating.  He is well enough to remind everyone that although he cannot personally come to your house to make sure that we stay on top of all the paperwork, he would consider it a great honor if you could do without his assistance as he goes through a lengthy recovery process.  It's all the boys and the paperwork makes sure everyone is covered, gets credit and keeps the world moving.

MEMBERSHIP  HOW ARE THE SCOUTS (AND UNITS) DOING?

FACTS and STATS. . .

The "How are the Scouts doing?" tracking charts below are provided to show how many new Scouts have been recruited  - and registered - starting with the 1st month of the fall recruiting period, August, and on through to the end of the calendar year.  The tracking charts are going to be an ongoing, living record that is updated regularly as additional new member registrations are received in the council service center.

HAS EVERY ELIGIBLE BOY BEEN INVITED TO JOIN SCOUTING - REALLY?

Every eligible youth in the North District DESERVES to be given the opportunity and invited to join Scouting.  The first chart below indicates how many and what percent of the boys currently enrolled in the 80 public and private schools within the North District are currently registered in a North District cub scout pack.  The chart also indicates boys that are registered in a North District cub scout pack, but that attend a school located outside of the North District. 

This information is provided not to embarrass anyone or any pack, but to emphasize the importance of conducting well planned, well advertised fall New Member Night in every school during September and a second/follow up New Member Night in October and . . . as the need indicates, even a third New Member Night in November to give "EVERY ELIGIBLE BOY" the opportunity to join Scouting.  Offering Scouting to every eligible youth is not just a one or two times a year thing - it needs to happen year round, every month.

Inviting boys to join Scouting isn't just done at a Spring or Fall New Member Night.  Your current members should be encouraged to invite their friends and neighbors to be apart of the fun and excitement that they are enjoying in your pack activities and events.  Your current members can be recognized for "bringing a friend" that joins Scouting with special recruiter patches and other recognitions.

The second chart below shows the number of Tiger Cubs registered in each pack to date and points out the importance of giving special attention to offering Scouting to the 1st grade boys.  Every pack should have a Tiger Den with a minimum of 6 Tigers and their partners in it.  After all, where do the future Wolfs, Bears and Webelos come from?  - Tiger Cubs.  Where do the future pack leaders come from?  - new members' parents (especially Tiger parents).

MANPOWER - NORTH DISTRICT LEADERSHIP

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN AND WOMEN

Each committee needs to have a minimum of 3 people on the committee so that it can effectively fulfill its primary mission of providing support to the units in the district.

There are "Currently Unfilled" positions and we want to fill them.  Some of the positions are short term while others are year round positions.  If you are interested in serving in one of these "Currently Unfilled" positions OR know of someone (in Scouting or not) that might be interested in supporting the the youth and units of the district; please don't hesitate to contact District Nominating Chairman Jim Metcalfe at 486-4526.  There are "job descriptions" that outline the particulars of and what the area of responsibility is for each of the positions on the District Committee.  These "job descriptions" are available for anyone who is or maybe interested in a particular position.  Click on this link if you want to read over the district plan.

UNIT SERVICE

This is is where "the rubber meets the road" - Unit Service.  Dedicated people helping packs, troops and crews to provide a program to their youth members through direct support, guidance and current up-to-date, timely information.  This is the "frontline" coaching staff better known as the District Commissioner Staff.  The Unit Commissioner to unit ratio should be one Unit Commissioner to every 3 units.  As you can see below, there is a real need for more Unit Commissioners in your district. 

What is the real need?  Ask yourself as you look at the chart below how Stan Maletz can actually service all of these units?  In Scouting we need to work as a team and many hands make work light. 

Think you can offer the service of a Unit Commissioner?  Contact District Commissioner Stan Maletz (343-4449 or smaletz@verizon.net) regarding becoming a Unit Commissioner.  Keep in mind that a person can not serve as the Unit Commissioner to a unit that they are registered with or have been registered with within the last 2-3 years.

NORTH DISTRICT COMMISSIONER STAFF updated 1/5/2012

$$$ FINANCE & MONEY MATTERS $$$

IS YOUR UNIT DOING A FUND RAISING EVENT OR PROJECT?

If your pack, troop, crew, ship or post is planning to conduct or is conducting a fund raising event it is required that a Unit Money Earning Application be submitted to the council at least two (2) weeks prior to the start date of the fund raising event.  A Unit Money Earning Application is not required for units participating in a council fund raising event like the popcorn sale but, the unit does need to inform the council that they are participating in the popcorn sale and who the unit's Popcorn Chairman (aka "Unit Popcorn Kernel") is and how to contact that person.

DID YOU KNOW?

Camp (aka coupon) Cards are still available and can be sold until the supply is exhausted.  There's still plenty of time for your unit to take advantage of this quick and easy fund raiser.  Your unit can still get in on the Camp Card sale.  Your unit could have them available at your Popcorn Show 'N' Sale locations.  Cards can be picked up at the Council Scout Store or from Gene Warber (he has cards with him, just give him a call at 639-1983).  Each Camp Card sells for only $5.00 each and your unit keeps 40% of your unit's total sales. Each Camp Card has 12 coupons that are good to use through Dec. 31, 2011 (with one exception).  Eight of the coupons can be used multiple times up to the 12/31/11 coupon expiration date.

TRAINING

TRAINING COURSES AVAILABLE

Leader Training Opportunities Abound

District Cub Scout Training Chairman Michelle Jones has scheduled multiple instructor led training sessions this month and in the coming months.  These are excellent opportunities for current pack leaders and those new pack leaders that your pack will be recruiting during the fall New Member Nights to get the "how to" information that will make their leadership position much easier to understand and accomplish.  Of course, leaders can choose to take the "position specific" fast start and basic training by going online at www.MyScouting.org , but at these instructor led sessions there is the opportunity to ask questions and exchange information with the other attendees and instructors.

Listed below are the dates of the coming training sessions.  Just click on the name of the session to open the sign up/reservation form.
