From the District Vice-Chairman
Good day El Capitan District,
On 02 May 09 many people went to
the Trainers EDGE training so they can present BSA classes using the new BSA
method called the EDGE. There were 22
people taking this training, we had 7 people. I want to thank these people for
taking the time to attend this class and say we are on our way to providing an
outstanding training team for the El Capitan District.
Only 27% of our
leaders in the District are trained for their current position. Tour permits,
insurance, "Two deep trained leadership", charter requirements, and our Scouts
require trained leaders. Our new trained Training Staff will be setting up a
schedule for all the BSA training requirements for you to select from for your
training needs.
We are expecting to have YPT (Youth Protection Training) at
Roundtable several times a year. This topic will be discussed on 06 MAY 09 at
the District Staff meeting. We will publish our monthly news letter following
this meeting to let you know when YPT will be presented at
Roundtable.
Yours In Scouting,
Michael Mannix
El Capitan District Vice-Chairman

UPCOMING
OCBSA EXPLORING ACTIVITIES
Exploring
is a co-educational, work-site based program. Exploring
gives youth an opportunity to visit community organizations and explore
the dynamics of various careers. Local
community organizations initiate an Explorer Post by matching their
people and program resources to the interest of young people in the
community.
The
result is programs of activities that help youth pursue their special
interests, while discovering a world of career possibilities.
LEARN ABOUT NEW INTERFAITH
VENTURING CREW
The greater Huntington
Beach Interfaith Council has chartered a new interfaith coed Venturing
Crew and is inviting high school students and youth group leaders to
learn about opportunities that this might open up for them.
The coed Venturing Crew
emphasizes the Religious and Community Life Award which represents:
- Tending your own faith.
- Respecting the beliefs of others.
- Understanding other cultures.
- Serving
your community.
- Transforming our society.
Those
interested are welcome to attend ongoing informal small group
Interfaith Dialogue this summer.
For more information, call Don
Garrick, Venturing Crew Organizer, at 714-848-0860, Diana Sloane, Trust
