Northeast Cape Fear Volunteers are “District Heroes”
The District Committee for the Northeast Cape Fear District would like to recognize as a
“District Hero” each of the people who volunteered to help with our Fall Roundup program by
running a Signup Night. These heroes are Scott Ellen, Todd Brohaugh, Walt Whittemore,
Jeff Serens, Genee Young, Michael Martin, Sara Jackson, and Thomas Jackson. These people
graciously donated their time and energy to help our Scouting program grow and for this, they
deserve our thanks. The Northeast Cape Fear District takes a great deal of pride in honoring
these volunteers.

Scouting can assist schools in a number of ways
One of the simplest and most obvious things we can do is involve as many youth members and adult leaders as possible in
quality Scouting activities. A recent study indicates that boys involved in Scouting are better students, are more likely to
graduate, and have better math and science skills (both hot topics right now), than boys who have not been Scouts. The
same research also found that parents introduced to leadership positions through Scouting are more likely than others to
take on leadership roles in school, sports, and community activities. Local Scout units support schools through a variety of
services and activities. Here are some ways our local Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Venturing crews work with
schools:










Flag ceremonies for school board meetings, school events and PTA/PTO activities.
Service projects on school grounds (landscaping, trash pick up, minor maintenance needs).
Eagle Scout Leadership & Service Projects for schools (building playgrounds, developing nature trails,
improving school grounds/facilities).
Scouting volunteers involved in PTA/PTO and other school activities.
Booths, games, exhibits at school fairs and festivals.
Providing refreshments for school open houses and curriculum nights.
Leaders/Scouts teaching skills to students during school hours (such as flag folding and etiquette, use of
maps and compass, environmental awareness, character development, etc).
Proving subscription to “Boys’ Life Magazine” for school libraries.
“Thank You” delegations of Scouts delivering messages and/or items to principles, teachers, and staff.
Scouting volunteers and parents serving as mentors, volunteers, tutors, and reading partners.
Its important local Scout leaders develop an ongoing relationship with school principals in a true spirit of service and
helpfulness. Principals can guide local units on the opportunities for partnership.
IMPORTANT NOTICE – National Policy Change in Annual Recharter Process for Scout Units
Effective January 1, 2015 the National BSA organization will be implementing a new Rechater Policy. A unit that has not
renewed its Charter by January 31, 2015 will be considered “separated” and immediately dropped from BSA’s membership
registration. There will no longer be a 60-day lapse period for units that do not re-new their Charter on time.
Volunteers will retain access to MyScouting, MyScouting tools, Internet Rechartering and Internet Advancement for only 30
days after their unit has expired and become separated.
Your assistance is required in preparing for this annual Renewal/Recharter Process change. We ask that all units turn in the
Charter paperwork no later than January 31st (2015) to ensure that your unit does not drop. If you have any questions or
need assistance please contact your District Executive or the Council Office at (90) 395-1100, ext. 29.

Remember Cape Fear Council in Estate Plans
Please remember our Scouting program in the Cape Fear Council as you make your estate planning decisions in the future.
A gift to the council’s Endowment Fund will keep the Boy Scout program strong for generations to come. Your attorney,
accountant or financial adviser can help you in making a permanent bequest to our Endowment Fund or set up a charitable
remainder trust. Please give this your heartfelt consideration.
BSA Policy Regarding Participation of Scouts in Political Rallies and Events
Uniformed unit members and leaders may participate in flag ceremonies at political events and may lead the Pledge of
Allegiance; however, they should retire after the ceremony and not remain on the speakers’ platform or in a conspicuous
location where television viewers could construe their presence as an endorsement or symbol of support.
In addition, photos of candidates or Scouts in uniform or BSA marks and logos are not allowed in political campaign
materials of any kind. Volunteers and professionals must be alert to situations that would imply that the BSA favors one
candidate over another. Strict observance of our long-standing policy against the active participation of uniformed Scouts
and leaders in political events is mandatory.
Council Fund-Raising Policy
Scout Units are not permitted by BSA by-laws to solicit direct contributions of money. No fund-raising activities are
approved to be conducted by Scout Units during the time periods that Council–approved fund-raising projects are being
conducted. Those time periods are as follows:
Camp Card Sale
Popcorn Sale
-
February 1 thru April 30
September 1 thru October 31
Scout Units must fill out a Unit Money Earning Application and submit it to the council office for approval in order to
conduct a fund-raising activity.

interested.
Tinsley Eagle Scout Scholarship Offered
A scholarship of $2,000 will be awarded to a deserving Scout who earns their Eagle Scout Award during 2014 by the
Betty and Ellis Tinsley, Sr. Eagle Scout Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will be presented at the Annual Council

Designate United Way Contributions to Boy Scout Program
United Way campaigns are currently running at companies and businesses throughout the eight
counties in southeastern North Carolina served by the Cape Fear Council. Many of our parents,
volunteer Scout leaders and financial supporters will be asked to give to the United Way at their
place of employment.
As these financial pledges are made, please consider designating your contribution to go to the support of our Boy Scout
program here in the Cape Fear Council. Whenever you fill out and sign your pledge card, please look for the section where
the United Way agencies are listed and mark that you would like for our Boy Scout program to receive your support. Also,
please be aware that even if our Boy Scout Program is not listed, you may still write-in the “Cape Fear Council – Boy Scouts”
as your choice. This can also be done with both CFC and SECC campaigns
This commitment by you will help to support our budget for the operation of summer camp and our year-round operation
of the Cape Fear Scout Reservation and help to provide training and kits of information for our new Scout leaders who are
recruited throughout the year. It will also help to provide other services which are vital to our Scouting program.
The Cape Fear Council is not funded by United Way in six of our counties. The only funds which are received by Scouting
are those contributions which are specifically designated to the council or are given directly to our Scouting program
through the Investment in Character Campaign each year. United Way funding currently provides less than 1% of the
overall budget to provide the Scouting program for more than 14,000 persons throughout southeastern North Carolina.
Your designation will help to increase this amount and ensure that more dollars are provided to our Scouting program. The
Cape Fear Council does receive funding from the United Way organizations in Robeson County and Scotland County.
2014 Fall Roundup Sponsored by McDonald’s
The Coastal Carolina Co-op of McDonald’s Restaurants has been the sponsor of 2014 Fall Roundup recruiting program
within the eight counties of the Cape Fear Council. This is the 21st year for McDonald’s to sponsor the Fall Roundup
program. Please pass along your thanks to them anytime you are in a McDonalds’ restaurant
Giving Every Boy the Opportunity to Join Scouting
The Cape Fear Council has had a good Fall Roundup recruitment effort through the end of September. Nearly 1500 new
Scouts and their families have already signed up to enjoy the adventure and promise of the Scouting program. We expect a
few hundred more Scouts to sign up during October. This exciting success would not be possible without the leadership,
sacrifice and commitment of volunteers throughout the Cape Fear Council. Thank you to all of the volunteers who have
been instrumental in giving every boy the opportunity to join and participate in our local Scouting program!
Below are a few ideas your Scout unit can still do to give every boy the opportunity to join Scouting:
•
•
If anyone came to your Join Scouting Night (Scout Party) and hasn’t been in contact with their den, be sure
you follow up with them
Have your boys wear their uniforms to school and ask them to invite their friends to the next meeting
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Re-stock and blanket the community with flyers, posters, and yard signs advertising your next meeting
Make sure your pack has a presence at any community function (parades, festivals, etc)
Encourage adults in your pack to wear their Scout uniform to youth sporting events, clubs etc
Write a thank you note and visit with your school principal and let them know how well your pack did
recruiting new Scouts. Ask if there is anything that the school needs help with. Good school relationships go
a long way to ensure future cooperation
Submit stories to your local newspaper of all the great activities your pack is doing
Conduct a fun activity and encourage Scouts/Venturers to invite friends to this event
Provide Scouts with a quality program, this will keep them active and excited about Scouting
Ensure all leaders are trained and well prepared for their roles
Each child that we invite to our program represents an opportunity to spread the values and mission of
Scouting, thanks for all your Hard Work!
