Silver Beaver Award
The Silver Beaver was introduced in 1931. This award is the highest award any council can give a vol-unteer who shows dedica-tion to implementing the Scouting program in their communities.
For their faithful service to family, church, com-munity and Scouting, the Northeast Iowa Council and the National Court of Honor of the Boy Scouts of America is pleased to honor our 2009 Silver Beaver Award recipients:
“Hempstead Heroes Did Their Duty” This February, Honor Medals were presented to the Scout-ing members who became heroes of the almost drowning incident at Hempstead High School this past year. I was asked by the media if I was proud of them and that was easy to answer – Yes, of course. Another predictable ques-tion was, “How did Scouting prepare these youth for ex-traordinary action?” I was also asked if Scouting taught kids to practice CPR. It was no coincidence that the youth that came to the rescue of that boy in the pool that day where both members of the Scouting program. It turns out they were from the same troop. They had practiced the tests of advancement and out-door living. Cooperation, leading & following, were not new to them. They had counted on each other before. Per-haps even more important, Scouting influences character and character was what these youth showed when faced with fear.
We can all be proud of these Scouts who saved a boys life.
“MUNTER LODGE”
As you enter camp C.S. Klaus and round that last corner to the dining hall you may be a bit sur-prised with what you see. Yes we are excited to announce the remodel project of our dining hall “which is now the Munter lodge”. This project is nearing completion which will include: a new roof, siding, deck/storm shelter, addition to the dining hall, addition of a Handicap accessible shower, addition of bathrooms, new septic system and more.
You will not recognize the wonderful work that has been done over the past 5 months. Thank you to C&D Construction, Durrant, several vendors and the many volunteers that have helped along the way. Most of all we are grateful to Duane Munter and although he passed away many years ago his memory will live on through this wonder-ful project. We will have a grand reopening some-time in the spring before Camp starts. Look for that date in the next issue of the Nor’easter.

2010 Centennial Jamboree
Celebrate 100 years of Scouting in the U.S. with 50,000 Scouts. While the National Jamboree, held every four years has been a long tradition since the 1930’s, the upcoming Jamboree in 2010 is different in almost every aspect – it is the Centennial Jamboree of Boy Scouting. From July 26th to August 4th, about 40,000 - 50,000 Scouts from the whole country, as well as from some foreign coun-tries, are celebrating 100 years of Scouting at this one-time event. The Jamboree is located on over 3000 acres of Fort A.P. Hill, near Bowling Green, Va., an historic area near Washington D.C. For ten days, this area will be trans-formed into a buzzing city of 18,000 tents and 3,600 patrol kitchens, while the perfect infrastructure of Fort A.P., including bus systems, telephone and Internet, first-aid stations and a hospital, police and fire departments, post offices, food warehouses, a daily newspaper, and retail stores provides for a smooth and safe environment.

Friends of Scouting
One of our largest sources of funding for Scouting
“People like you and me, through our Friends of Scouting contributions provide 16% of the funding for Scouting in the NE Iowa Council”. It was noted by both David Welsh and Steve Schill, General Campaign Co- Chairman. “Together we make it possible for the council’s 1,040 vol-unteer leaders to instill in our 3,873 youth members, the Scouting values that will last them throughout their lives.” Being a kid has never been easy, and today it’s harder than ever. There are a lot of different choices to make. Scouting helps kids make choices that make a difference for a life

“The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light” ~ Robert Baden-Powell In Scouting, this is the time of the year when Webelos make that pivotal decision in their lives: will they continue on into Boy Scouts? But wait a second...why wouldn’t they? Why is this such a big decision? They’ve already been in Scouts for nearly five years—why would they give it up now? I’m sure there are many factors that play into this, but a lot of it is probably fear of the unknown. In a study done by a nearby council, they discovered the reason most Scouts didn’t cross over was lack of encouragement by their parents. Why wouldn’t parents encourage their son to cross into Boy Scouts? Maybe those parents didn’t fully understand the greatness of the Scouting program. Cub Scouts is just the building blocks. Once they join Boy Scouts, the true opportunity begins for them to develop leadership skills and values that will last them a lifetime. Most Cub Scout parents probably don’t realize that in Boy Scouts, their son will be given so many opportunities to lead his peers at either the troop or patrol level. In what other organization would a twelve-year-old be given this opportunity? They also might not realize the regional and national leadership opportunities available through the Order of the Arrow and Venturing. For who would choose to not have their son be given these opportunities? Maybe those parents didn’t realize the flexibility of the program. Your son has baseball on Tuesday night? That’s great! Just have him come to the meetings whenever he’s able. There’s no penalty for missing a meeting every now and then. Your son doesn’t like camping? Does he like swimming? What about sports? What about auto mechanics...or science experiments...or agriculture? Those are all topics that can be explored through merit badges. Maybe those parents didn’t realize the adventure opportunities available through Scouts. Would your son enjoy hiking in New Mexico? What about scuba diving in Florida? Or touring Washington, D.C.? Maybe those parents were never encouraged by others. We all need to take ownership of this program to make it work. So when you see someone, educate them about Scouting. It might make all the difference...

By the end of the month, this changeover will be complete, with Bill Strauss taking over as District Commissioner and Rick Leute taking on the role of Program Chair. The individual taking the District Chair position will be announced later this month. We look forward to building off past success as we move on with these new leaders in place.

“ As many of you know I am anxiously awaiting June 19th when I am going to be married to my better half. In preparation for our coming wedding we, and yes I mean we, have been doing everything we can to plan our wedding down to the last detail so that everything will go smoothly when it comes time to say “I do.” Recently I was informed that you have to be a husband on purpose because no one stumbles into being a good husband, it is a choice you make. So why am I telling everyone this? Because this idea holds true in every aspect of our lives. One gentleman I met is a volunteer on purpose, somewhere along the line he wanted this program to be the best. He has worked tirelessly as a volunteer to make sure everything he works on is the best. I have rarely ever heard him say “No” to anyone when they ask him to do something. I know that many of you do this exact same thing for your units. The truth is this describes most of the Scoutmasters, Committee Members, Cubmasters and leaders in the organization. I want to challenge everyone, including myself, to be a leader on purpose. The more we put into this organization the more we will see the young men and women of Northeast Iowa grow. At times this means being there when a youth calls to ask advice, or to step up and help the troop or district committee in a role that they need filled to move the program forward. And if you see someone who needs a little encouragement don’t be afraid to let them know what you think. A little encouragement will move mountains.
Do you have the desire to serve our youth? Do you want to have an impact on the whole Council? Then being on the District Committee is for you! Anyone interested in being a part of the District Committee should contact Bari at the office or by e-mail at [email protected].
