The Boy Scouts of America provides a wide array of leadership training to help ensure that new adult and youth leaders have the tools and resources they need to ensure a great program for local Scouts. The Cayuga County Council is fortunate to have a cadre of seasoned Scouters who offer these training opportunities year round.
This month Council Training Coordinator Ron Thomas along with faculty members Bill Jennings and Tom Ohl conducted Cub Scout Leader Basic training for 19 new and enthusiastic adult leaders.
Congratulations to those who completed this training including: Todd Franklin, Brian Rindfleisch and Gary Lindstrom, Pack 6, Owasco; Jeff and Wendy LaDuca, Pack 11, Herman Avenue School Auburn; Christina Sears, Pack 40, Genesee Elementary School Auburn; Jannette Elster, Pack 43, Casey Park School Auburn; Chris Russo, Pack 50, Cato; Jeff Day and Denise Schaeffer, Pack 54, Union Springs; John Janke, Krista Scholeno and Romona McCall, Pack 55, Moravia; Jennifer Baliva and Christa Baliva, Pack 56, Port Byron; and Bob Ward, Beth Bowden, Joe Bowden and Andrew Rodan, Pack 59, Weedsport.
Each month Roundtable Commissioners Cathy Feocco and Tom Ohl provide themed seminars that provide program ideas, support and resources for leaders to take back home and use directly with their Scouts. Boy Scouting themes to be conducted in the coming months will include cooking, wilderness survival, pioneering and orienteering. Cub Scout Leaders will explore “Celebrations around the World,” “Cub Scout Car Show,” “Litter to Glitter,” “Leaf it to Cubs” and “Abracadabra.”
Local Scouting also seeks to create as safe an environment as possible for young people to enjoy its program's activities. Working with Cayuga County Child Protective Services, our council conducts “Youth Protection Guidelines Training for Volunteer Leaders and Parents.” Adults come away from this annual course with a much clearer awareness of the kinds of abuse, the signs of abuse and how to respond and report should a situation arise.
In addition, award wining DVDs are provided to our unit leaders to use with Scouts and their parents. “It Happened to Me,” developed for Cub Scouts aged boys 6 to 10 years old, addresses the four rules of personal safety: Check first, go with a friend, it's your body, and tell. “A Time to Tell” is a DVD directed toward 11- to 14-year-old Boy Scouts and stresses the three R's of youth protection: Recognize, resist and report. All of these materials are available to borrow or copy from our local council office.
Every Scout deserves a trained leader, and we commend all of our volunteers who invest their time to complete leadership training for their role in Scouting. By doing so they help bring to life the magic of Scouting for young people and their families in our council.
