ib i “scouters — « \ x C) 4 The Nevada County Nugget, Wednesday, February 17, 1971 Annual fund drive is under way The. annual fund raising campaign to support Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts in the Golden Empire is under way. Scout Executive Bob Lambert said local business firms are being solicited’ now by a team of businessmen, On Feb. 27, the drive will begin among parents of scouts. He reminded citizens that a "sustaining membership" of $20 will support one boy in the program for a year. Lambert also had this explanation about "who pays for your boy's Scouting?" The material comes from Scouting Magazine: "When your son becomes a cub scout, boy scout, or explorer, you as his parents join in a partnership with the Boy Scouts of. America, Scouting ‘ lends a strong right arm to parents, teachers, clergymen, and other community leaders in training tomorrow's responsible citizens — your son and his friends who will be "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." "Your boy's scouting experience is made possible by many people who contribute their time, talents, and resources as members of. scout units, chartered institutions, local councils, and the national council, “But time and talent aren't enough; for scouting, like all good programs, costs. money. The job of securing funds is made .much .easier whenever parents and friends of scouting understand how scouting needs and uses their contributions. me "Part of his'scouting expenses are paid by your son himself. The very process of paying his own way, preferably with money he’has earned and saved, becomes part of his scout training. He pays his annual national membership fee, his unit dues, his Boys' Life magazine subscription, and his ‘camp fee. He buys his own uniform, handbooks, camping equipment, and other personal items, At an impressionable age he acquires the solid American traits of thrift and self-reliance. "The same training in selfreliance and competent management of affairs is gained on a group basis in your boy's unit ‘his cub scout pack or boy scout troop or explorer post. ? adult volunteer. Through the unit budget, the adult leaders teach the boy leaders and members to figure their needs and to balance expenditures against income. "A troop, for example, needs such things as tents, patrol cook kits, badges, good turn contributions for worthwhile community projects, and postage. The total income from weekly dues is estimated, and then additional funds are made up by approved money~earned projects such as wastepaper drives, handicraft sales, yard work, and car washing. "By pooling individual dues and working collectively the boys as a unit continue to share in paying for their scouting. Institutions ‘such as churches, ‘PTAs, service clubs, business and labor groups, veterans and fraternal organizations, and other civic organizations are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America to sponsor packs, troops, and posts for boys in their communities. A unit charter sets standards of performance that require the sponsor to provide an adequate meeting place and adult leaders. The sponsor often provides additional program facilities and material. Its physical contributions are financed through its operating budget. — "Scouting requires men and women of character who are willing to be trained for leadership positions, No dollar value can be placed.on the priceless investments of time and talent of these volunteers who help pay for your boy's scouting. “"Community. leaders. interested in scouting join together under a charter from the National .Council, Boy Seouts of America, They operate as a local council to serve. existing packs, troops, and posts and to organize new units to bring scouting to more boys. Your local council as a voluntary organization receives its operating funds from individuals, corporations, and foundations. In most communities these sources Support scouting primarily through the United Fund. "In addition many parents and friends of scouting with a special interest make an extra financial contribution by enrolling as sustaining members. Others express their interestBUSINESS BILLBOARD THE GIPSON'S 273-2861 Sit back and let classified ads do the selling, renting or buying for you.

"The council owns and operates both summer and yearround camping facilities for troops and posts, The protec-. tion, maintenance, replacement, “and expansion of this property are made and paid for by the council, A staff of program specialists assists unit leaders in camp with their boys, A portion of camp expense is not covered by your son's fees but is borne by the council. "The council employs a staff of professional, scout executives who give’ full time to the administration of its affairs. These men are trained to organize community leaders and resources to provide an educational program of scouting for your son. "For work with all its scouters the council maintains an office or service center witha . clerical staff. Here the records essential to the unit in which . your son is a member are kept; . visual } and badges, literature, aids, and other program aids are sold and loaned. "The council conducts formal training programs for volunteer leaders and gives them on-the-job guidance. Councilwide activities such as camporees, merit badge expositions and community service projects stimulate unit programs, The Boy Scouts of America didn't just happen to become the free world's biggest boys'
organization. By national coordination of the efforts of chartered institutions and local councils during more than half a century. nearly 13 million adults served a total of more than 35 million boys. "Standards of program and leadership are maintained on a national scale so your son finds himself in a familiar. group wherever he goes! Activities and methods are updated by modern research. Comprehensive literature and aids for boys and leaders are published, Volunteer leadership training courses are developed and administered. Quality uniforms, equipment, and program aids are sold, at a fair price through scout distributors. A staff of experts in fund raising, ,camping, conservation, health and safety, volunteer training, public relations, and other youth service fields serves local councils. A corps of 4200 career scouters is selected and trained by the national staff, the majority of whom serve in local councils, "All this costs money. The national office is financed by boy and adult membership fees; the sale of uniforms, equipment, literature; Boys' Life subscriptions; and a few miscellaneous sources .of income, SAFE AS AMEBICA Ty, tata hom, eo hoME* tuts tyte te * mete Wy, ‘, ete Mitt vets ny Na "x LF ‘“ sea New member of NID board still AWOL The second Nevada Irrigation District board meeting since Alfonso Arden was appointed a director was held Wednesday without the new man being present, ™ Arden had not returned his certificate of appointment. and oath. of office to the Nevada county clerk as of 10 this morning, The Union was told.
