Scouting Week In Review – December 10th, 2010
December 10, 2010
Hello Scouts! For those of you who don’t know yet, we started a brand new Facebook page just for Scouts this week. Hurry and “friend” us because we are randomly giving away all sorts of Scouting goodies to our fans. You could be a winner, and all you have to do is like our page!
This week we’re aiming the national spotlight on some very special Scouts. These young men have done some amazing things and have demonstrated tremendous bravery and determination. Congratulations to them and if you know of a story we missed, please feel free to tell us all about it in the comments field below.
On to the week in review…
Twin Cub Scouts Receive National Awards For Heroism
Who says you have to be a grown-up to do what’s necessary in an emergency? The Wesson brothers of Sandwich, Illinois know first hand that 7 year olds can do it too. And this week the twin boys were both awarded a National Certificate of Merit by the B.S.A.! The honor is awarded to a youth member or adult leader who has performed a significant act of service deserving of national recognition.In October of 2009, the two young men rushed into action when their mother became very sick. They had recently received training for this very situation during their Cub Scout Pack 345 activities. They called 9-1-1 and looked after their mother until Paramedics arrived. They remained calm throughout the ordeal and even had the foresight to open the door for emergency responders and show them the way to their mother.
This is a great story and being awarded for their efforts makes it even better. Way to go guys! Local Twins Take Care of their Mom.
Arizona Boy Scout Receives Award For Saving His Mother’s Life
Isaac Johnson, a 13 year-old Boy Scout from Queen Creek, had received training for choking victims just weeks before. So when his mother began choking at a fast-food restaurant, Isaac knew just what to do. He jumped out of his seat in the car and performed the Heimlich Maneuver and saved his mom’s life.
Isaac received the Boy Scouts of America National Heroism Award last week and was honored at the 2010 Superstition District annual award dinner.
It is heroic to save a person’s life, but truly incredible when it is the life of your own mother. Here’s the whole story – Arizona Boy Scout Awarded For Saving His Mother.
Arizona Scout Earns Eagle Scout of the Year For Conservation Efforts
16-year-old McKay Bagley, also from Queen Creek, Arizona (see story above), received the Eagle Scout of the Year award from Grand Canyon Council this week.
In 2002, a wildfire damaged a large portion of the ecosystem in their area. McKay realized that the plant life was unable to reestablish itself because the wild animals were trampling or eating it before it had a chance to flourish. So he and other volunteers spent a weekend putting in closures to stop the animals from entering the areas around the creeks. This should allow the plant life the time it needs to reestablish itself.
Great job, McKay. What an awesome way to help the environment and provide a great example for Scouts all over the country – Two Queen Creek Boy Scouts win major awards.
Two Michigan Scouts Earn Rare Award
As Dale Raar and Brian Fee walked down the street one afternoon, they suddenly found themselves in an unenviable position. Just in front of them, a 14 year old boy was exiting his school bus when he was struck and critically injured by another vehicle.While adults stood by watching, not knowing what to do, the two young men immediately ran to the injured boy’s side, which was in the middle of a busy roadway, comforting him, keeping him immobile and maintaining his airway until emergency responders could arrive. Had it not been for their efforts and quick thinking, officers say that the accident could have easily resulted in a fatality.
Take a look at the video on this page and you’ll see that these young men deserve every bit of credit they receive. Awesome job! – Holland Teen To Receive ‘Rarest Award’ from Boy Scouts of America.
California Scouts Earns 128th Merit Badge
How many young men do you know who have earned all 128 merit badges? Do you know anyone who has even come close? We’d venture to say that most of you don’t. That’s why we wanted to bring you this story of awesome Scout spirit and sheer determination.
Rob Nelsen, a 15 year old Eagle Scout from Irvine, California has done what many simply dream about. On December 4th, he earned his 128th Boy Scout Merit Badge…that’s every single one of them! The time and energy that Rob has put into this achievement is amazing. A commendable job indeed!

4-H Week In Review – December 10th, 2010
December 10, 2010
Hey 4-H’ers! Welcome back to our 4-H Week In Review series. This week we’re bringing you a refreshing assortment of cool stories from around the country.
As always, if you know of a newsworthy 4-H story, don’t be shy! Post it below in the comments section.
Here’s a really cool and fun way to gather food donations for your local pantries.The Buffalo County 4-H Youth Leaders Council will be going door to door looking for porch lights that are on. If the porch light is on, they will sing carols in exchange for canned food items. Donations will be distributed to the elderly involved with the Buffalo County Aging and Disability Resource Center.
This is a great way to help your community and spread holiday cheer all at once! You could also ask for blankets, coats or other items that would help the needy in your area.
Super idea Buffalo County 4-H! You guys and gals are doing a great thing for your community members – 4-H Council Carols for Canned Goods.
The Louisburg Explorers 4-H Club spent last Sunday shopping for holiday gifts – but they weren’t shopping for anyone they know.
For the 7th year in a row, the 4-H members and parents gathered to purchase holiday presents for families that are less fortunate and would otherwise not have much under their Christmas trees. This not only makes a family’s holiday better, it teaches the 4-H members about volunteerism and citizenship.
We know that these “adopted families” programs happen all over the country, so let us know about your experience by leaving a comment below! Here’s a link to the story about the Louisburg Explorers experience – Explorers 4-H Club Brings Christmas To Those In Need.
This week marked the event that Wyoming 4-H’ers have been preparing for for months. The Wyoming FIRST LEGO League Championship was held at the Casper Events Center on Sunday.Teams designed and built robots made of Legos and tiny parts, and programmed them to do 14 different tasks. Sixty teams from all over Wyoming earned a spot in the Championship this year, but only one could end up as champion.
Find out all about the competition and which team came out on top – Students Compete in Robotics Challenge.
For the first of hopefully many years to come, 4-H was involved in the Great American Louisiana Seafood Cook-off, an annual event in New Orleans.
During the event, 4-H members from all over Louisiana were able to show off their culinary skills. Organizers hope the 4-H cook-off will become an annual part of the event.
As a seafood lover, I only wish I would have been there to taste some of their creations. Very cool! Click this link to see the video – 2010 4-H Seafood Cook-off.
On Dec. 5, several thousand Michigan 4-H members and their families from 49 different counties filled the Breslin Center for the Michigan State University Lady Spartans game. It turned out to be the 3rd largest crowd ever attending a Lady Spartans game!4-H displays and material were setup throughout the arena and the 4-H Pledge was recited by the crowd.
Here’s a great blog post with more details of the event. Sounds like it was a great experience for everyone involved! – Day at the Breslin Celebrates 4-H.
Well, that’s it for this week everybody. We know there are some stories and announcements that we missed, so if you have a story or news event you’d like to share, just leave it in a comment below.
Now It’s Your Turn! Leave a comment below and let us know what you think!
Have a great weekend, stay warm and we’ll see you next week!
Teaching Kids and Teens About Volunteering – Part 4: Maintaining The Enthusiasm
December 9, 2010
Once you have convinced your child to volunteer, it is very important that you help maintain their enthusiasm for helping other people. Always remember that once you’ve succeeded in getting your kids enthusiastic and passionate about volunteering, your job is far from over.
As you probably already know, kids and teens can inexplicably change their minds in an instant, and without recourse. So it is vital that you’re ready for this to happen and not get caught off guard. Always be ready for resistance. Of course, this may never even happen, but it is best to be prepared should your child decide that their volunteer experience isn’t one to continue.
Think ahead of time about the different things that your child could possibly come up with and have a plan ready to deal with it promptly. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to sway them back in the right direction.
Some of the common reasons that children “go cold” on volunteering are listed below along with what you can do to help them get through it. These are only suggestions to give you an idea of what you may encounter. Every child, family and situation is different.
Your child is not comfortable around people they don’t know. If your child is uncomfortable around unfamiliar people, let them know that they don’t have to do it alone. The very first thing you should offer them is your own company. Let them know that you will go with them and make it a bonding experience for both of you. If they’re at the age where hanging out with a parent just isn’t cool, then try to have them get their friends, or younger family members interested in going with them. You could also offer them the opportunity to volunteer to help animals, where human interaction is usually limited to just a couple of people.
Your child claims that they need the time for schoolwork and social life. Make sure that your child understands they are not committed to a single volunteer activity. There are tons of volunteer opportunities that can be done in a short amount of time. They also do not need to commit to volunteering on regularly scheduled time. Lots of volunteer activities are one-time, or have very flexible time commitments. Offer to help them search for something that would fall into these categories.
Your child says they are becoming bored with their volunteer activities. Most things will become boring to kids if they do it long enough. This is why it is so important to consistently praise your kids for the work they are are doing and, more importantly, get them to realize and understand the impact they are making on the people to whom they are offering their time and energy. When a child feels like they are making a positive difference in someone else’s life, it can have amazing effects. Also, when you praise your children, be sincere. Don’t just say it – say it with empathy and really mean it.
Let your child try to find their opportunities on their own, but help them along if they stall. Remember, as we discussed in our previous posts, it’s OK for you to say no. You are the parent and you have final say. If you feel the activity is inappropriate or involves inappropriate people or a bad environment, then you’ll have to say no. But try to make it positive by steering them toward something similar which you feel would be OK for them.
If things get tough and you seem to be getting nowhere, remember that you have to have patience when you’re dealing with kids and teens. Just remember the benefits we discussed in part 1 of this series should things become difficult. Take it slow, lead by example and stay calm. When you’re trying to convince kids and teens to continue volunteering, patience and understanding will go a very long way.
Volunteering can make such a huge difference in a child’s life. It can teach them compassion, responsibility and other powerful skills and values that will last them a lifetime. You can successfully have your child volunteering if you follow a few simple guidelines: Take your time, be a good example for your kids, ease them slowly into volunteering, find the right opportunity for your child and maintain their enthusiasm.
Not only will your child reap the benefits of volunteering, you will have a sense of accomplishment and the knowledge that you have done even more to help your child succeed in life.
