Scouting Values

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through nearly a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Time to Recharter Your Unit!!

Why is Rechartering Important?

Chartered organizations partner with a local Scout council to provide the support necessary for unit operations. When an organization adopts Scouting as part of its youth and community outreach program, a committee is formed and leadership is selected. The committee members and leaders help to organize and operate the unit in conjunction with the organization's special needs or desired outcomes.

The Northern Lights Council provides the chartered organization with program materials, literature, outdoor camping facilities, leadership training, assistance in recruiting members, liability insurance, record keeping and supplies such as uniforms, insignia and awards. Chartered organizations are issued a charter, effective for one year, to operate a pack or troop. The charter year is not necessarily the same as the calendar year or program year. A few months prior to the charter expiration date, the district executive, unit commissioners, unit committee members and leaders all take a role in the preparation and execution of the rechartering process.

Recommended Actions To Keep Your Unit/Scouts Healthy And Safe This Season:

Provide your unit leaders with simple training to recognize influenza-like illness (ILI). A key signal is feeling feverish or having a temperature greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius) if measured, especially if combined with one or more of the following.
Upper respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose)
Body aches, headache
Fatigue, Vomiting, Diarrhea
When on an outing, have a plan to isolate (quarantine) suspected ill individuals, contact parents, and removal of sick individuals from your outing/camp. Be prepared to implement those procedures.
• Communicate with your leaders, scouts, and parents to drive home this key message:

If you are sick, STAY HOME! Parents, if your Scout is sick, KEEP 'EM HOME for at least 7 days after symptoms began or 24 hours after symptoms resolve, whichever is longer. Want to know what to do if you have flulike symptoms? See (CDC)Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
