CLICK HERE for Registration Form | New | YPT for all Adults | | Greetings Inland Empire Scouters, It is re-charter time! A focus area of re-chartering is ensuring that all of our adult leaders are current with their Youth Protection Training (YPT). CIEC and BSA continue to target having 100% YPT leaders. Last year YPT became mandatory for all new registrations and re-chartering of leaders. We also urged those leaders with ‘soon to lapse’ training to renew their training before it expired. Since then, our council-wide percentage of YPT trained leaders has moved steadily closer to the target. Everyone’s efforts are noticed and appreciated. We can further focus on safe Scouting and looking out for the health and welfare of our kids as we move into a new year. Help widen the focus of Youth Protection by encouraging our scout parents and guardians, who aren’t registered leaders, to take YPT. They are a largely untapped resource for keeping our kids safe. We will all benefit by having more eyes and ears paying attention to scout safety. This path will further Youth Protection’s being such a part of our culture that it becomes second only to the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Remember, you don’t need to be a leader to support CIEC and BSA’s Youth Protection efforts. Youth Protection Training can be best accomplished via the Internet through www.my.scouting.org. Yours in Scouting, Joe Cleary, Council Youth Protection Champion | New | Notes from our Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh | | We need to develop a growth strategy that is based on achieving the objectives of our local councils, and I believe our first priority should be maintaining — and strengthening — our proven legacy programs. This means evolving the quality of our programs so that we are delivering a high-energy Scouting experience that reflects the interests of youth today while also representing our key Scouting values and methods. The following areas of focus — designed to help us achieve this evolution — are key components of the draft growth plan that our officers will be discussing next week at our board meeting: - We must ignite an Exploring Explosion. This coming January, we intend to launch Exploring Explosion, a mission-driven, nationwide program that will provide youth with real-world, hands-on career experience in partnership with thousands of organizations in the public and private sectors. Delivered in conjunction with Learning for Life, the program has the potential to significantly attract more youth who are interested in career and leadership development, and engage more volunteers and professionals to support these new members. By actively participating in Exploring Explosion, councils stand to advance their local programs and attract new board members, financial resources and new capacity designed to help build traditional Scouting programs.
- We need to innovative — truly innovate — a more effective entry point for introducing families into Scouting. I think we can do a better job when it comes to making Scouting more inviting to our youngest Scouts and their parents. By March, I’d like us to have determined an ideal approach for introducing Scouting to the whole family. As our demographics change, we know that recent immigrant communities do not have a generational involvement and we need to introduce them to our values proposition. As part of this approach, we also need to consider how we help these young Scouts advance through their programs in a timely and meaningful way that keeps them interested. This means helping them feel accomplished and also continually challenged to reach achievable goals. Additionally, local councils have embarked on innovative programs to reach out to younger youth. We need to truly study this and determine if this is helpful or harmful to overall growth in the program. In every case, we want to innovate while not doing so at the expense of our powerful brand or the values component of Scouting.

New | Inland Empire Heart & Stroke Walk | | Check out the C.I.E.C.'s Pack 1230, Tania Martinez and Debb Walker all from Mt. Rubidoux in the Oct/Nov issue of "Riverside Magazine". They were there to support the 13th annual Inland Empire Heart & Stroke Walk at Rancho Jurupa Parck. Click here for the link and scroll down to page 32. | New | Big Bear Lake Outings with Troop 646 | | At the end of August, Troop 646 went camping in the Big Bear Lake area at the Serrano campground. The Scouts had to come up with a menu that did not involve Dutch Ovens, as there were no charcoal fires or campfires allowed. It was a Patrol vote to BBQ Cheeseburgers, which ended up being very tasty! The Scouts worked on Rank Advancement and two Scouts earned their Second Class Rank. We also had a Scout that earned his Cooking Merit Badge, which is Eagle required. The weather was perfect that weekend, but the "Summit" Fire had started just as we left the Campground. Luckily that fire ended up not harming anyone or any structures. Serrano is a very nice place to camp and we would definitely go there again! Back up to Big Bear we go on the last weekend in September. Only this time it was for our 2nd Annual Planning Meeting, so the Scouts could plan out the year 2016! The meeting started on Friday night with rules and games. Then on Saturday the Scouts planned out the 2016 Calendar with themes, activities, campouts and other outings. For fun, we walked to the Alpine Slide to take a few rides and hang out. The Scouts also enjoyed Foosball and Table Tennis. For dinner, Mr. Saldana made his famous Carne Asada Tacos and fresh Pico de Gallo. We enjoyed "Indoor Skillet S'Mores" for dessert and watched "Mc Farland USA" that also counted for requirement #5 for the Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge. On Sunday, we finished up the meeting and cleaned up. Overall, it was a very successful weekend! Christy Eimen, ASM, Camping/Outings Chairperson |
New | Cub Archery | | Our Cub Archery day on Saturday dawned bright, sunny, and hot! It was a clear day with no clouds, and the boys really had to seek shade and drink lots of water. There was a lot of heat radiating off the concrete! The Cubs in the morning session were super excited, but well behaved, and the Webelos in the afternoon session had a bit of wind, which always makes it slightly harder to aim true. As always, a good time was had by all! Don & Laurie Curtis, Co Chairs, Cub Archery Congratulations to our top shooters in the A.M.

He grew up in Ardmore, Oklahoma. He graduated from Ardmore High School in 1940 and later graduated from Murray State College in Tishomingo, Oklahoma in 1942. He was accepted to the University of Oklahoma (Norman) as World War 2 broke out. Attending the University that summer and early fall, the President of the university assured all students if they volunteered to serve their country, a place would be reserved and available to them at the close of war. Glenn and many of his colleagues volunteered for artillery. Glenn became a “90-day wonder” as he had terrific math skills and chemistry knowledge and soon was sailing across the Atlantic in preparation for D Day as a 2nd LT in the 87th Infantry, 334th Field Artillery, Battery C. When his artillery 105 mm Howitzer guns broke loose in the LST crossing the English Channel, the captain of the ship was forced to return (many others simply sunk). Glenn's Battery C caught up with Patton's 3rd Army at Le Harve, France, and soon engaged in heavy battle at St Lo to Paris before pushing north into the Battle of the Bulge. Glenn typically spent two weeks on the front lines in field observation and two weeks commanding the guns for Battery C throughout the war. He saw plenty of action and earned a Bronze Star. Glenn was promoted to Captain as battery commander by the end of the war and chose to stay with the Army Reserve after the war. He was transferred from the Patton's 3rd Army to the 5th Army and was stationed at Ft Campbell, Kentucky. There he commanded a 21 gun salute for President Harry Truman at Soldiers' Field in Chicago that summer, which was a proud moment for him. That Fall, he returned to the University of Oklahoma to complete a degree in Civil Engineering. One of his battery officers was a University of Oklahoma graduate, who convinced him that civil, rather than chemical engineering would be a perfect field for him so he declared civil instead. Glenn earned a bachelor's in civil engineering, obtained professional engineer and surveyor's licenses in the states of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California and later earned a masters in Public Administration from the University of Southern California. Having survived the war, Glenn chose to love others and sought peace and understanding. He was guided by the love of God and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Glenn married his true love, Mary Ann (McLeod) Wilson, in 1948 as he finished his degree from the University of Oklahoma. Mary Ann accepted a job in Ardmore, OK upon graduating with a bachelor degree in music and christian education from Westminster Choir College, Princeton, NJ. They met briefly at the train station. She was coming into town and he was leaving on a reserve assignment for the summer. They met again at a Christmas party that December and were married on August 15th the following summer. They moved to Riverside, California in 1960 after living 11 years in Ardmore, OK and Ft Worth, TX. An excellent opportunity was presented to him at Colton, CA where Glenn was the City Engineer, Public Works Director and later, City Manager for 8 years, in the 1960s and 70s. They moved to Redlands, CA as he began the final phase of public service with the city of San Bernardino as the Public Works Director. During this time the city was recognized as an All American City, which made him very proud. He worked for Neste, Brudin and Stone for a few years in between and started up GTS Associates, Inc., in 1983, an engineering consulting services company, that closed upon his retirement after 25 years in business. Sons Tim and Scott were engineers with him during much of the business and daughter Salli ran the office while Mary Ann served as Treasurer. Glenn was active in the community with Kiwanis International, a lifetime member of the San Bernardino Chapter. He always felt that the best way to be happy was by serving others. He enjoyed the Boy Scouts of America, and served in many leadership roles in churches throughout the Inland Empire where his wife played the organ and directed choirs. Glenn loved to tell jokes and made choir rehearsals fun. Although Mary Ann may have thought his jokes distracting at rehearsals from time to time, she was his number one fan and laughed with him and offered her support of his career, his interests and the raising of their children. Glenn also served on the boards of the San Bernardino Community Hospital, National Society of Professional Engineers, California Society of Professional Engineers, American Society of Professional Engineers, Society of Civil Engineers of the Inland Empire, City Managers Association of the Inland Empire, American Public Works Association, and participated in Math Counts for many years, promoting math skills in youth and encouraging many in an engineering career. Early in his life Glenn was a Rotary Club member and loved to quote the fourway test when dealing with people: 1) is it the truth? 2) is it fair? 3) will it build goodwill and better friendships? And 4) will it be beneficial to all? He said any people problem could be solved by using the four-way Rotarian test and his Christian belief of loving his neighbor as himself. Glenn was a devoted family man and proud grandfather of twelve grandchildren: Laura Wilson and Ashley Thompson of Hemet, CA; Lisa Gregg of Brooklyn, NY; Lynn Thompson of Oviedo, FL; Katherine Vosahlo of Kennewick, WA; Keith, Katherine, Karley and Kenton Wilson of Tustin, CA; and Glenni and Jamie Rankin and Dale Wilson of Redlands, CA. He also has four great-grandchildren: Devin Burr and Addison Hubbard of Kennewick, WA and Kylie and Liam Thompson of Hemet, CA. Glenn is survived by his four children: Timothy Wilson and wife, Robin, of Hemet, CA; Claudia Burr and husband, John, of Sun City West, AZ; Scott Wilson and wife, Susan, of Tustin, CA; and Salli Wilson and husband, Todd, of Redlands, CA. He was proud to be the grandson and great grandson of Methodist preachers and had the scripture on his desk of John 13:35, “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” He loved, laughed and lived. He served God, his community, and his family with grace and honor. Services was held at Redlands First United Methodist Church on Saturday, October 10, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his honor to Redlands First United Methodist Church, 1 Olive Street, Redlands, CA 92373 or the Boy Scouts of America, P.O.

We need courage to enter into the transformation process. God of autumn, the trees are saying goodbye to their green, letting go of what has been. We, too, have our moments of surrender, with all their insecurity and risk. Help us to let go when we need to do so. God of fallen leaves lying in colored patterns on the ground, our lives have their own patterns. As we see the patterns of our own growth, may we learn from them. God of misty days and harvest moon nights, there is always the dimension of mystery and wonder in our lives. We always need to recognize your power-filled presence. May we gain strength from this. God of harvest wagons and fields of ripened grain, many gifts of growth lie within the season of our surrender. We must wait for harvest in faith and hope. Grant us patience when we do not see the blessings. God of geese going south for another season, your wisdom enables us to know what needs to be left behind and what needs to be carried into the future. We yearn for insight and vision. God of flowers touched with frost and windows wearing white designs, may your love keep our hearts from growing cold in the empty seasons. God of life, you believe in us, you enrich us, you entrust us with the freedom to choose life. For all this, we are grateful. | Joe Daniszewski Scout Executive/CEO California Inland Empire Council California Inland Empire Council, BSA PO Box 8910 1230 Indiana Court Redlands, CA 92374 909.793.2463, Ext. 120 877.732.1450 FREE 909.793.0306 Fax Monday Memo is from Scout Executive Joe Daniszewski and contains his reflection on what is happening within the Council.
