Tour Plans Changing

Please share this email with your volunteers!

New Tour and Activity Plan to Go Live May 1

When compared to the former tour permit process, the new plan will no longer require signatures or approvals. Rather, as the plan is completed online, the required prerequisites for that type of trip or activity will be displayed.
For any prerequisites that have not been met (for example, not having someone on a trip who has Hazardous Weather training where this training is required), and before being allowed to submit the form, the person completing the form will have to certify that all prerequisites will be met prior to conducting the trip or activity. Once submitted, an email notification will be sent to your council, chartered organization, committee chair, unit leader, and emergency contact to let them know that a plan has been submitted. Receivers of this notification can log in to MyScouting and review the plan.
Other tour and activity plan enhancements include the following:

• Because email notifications will be sent once a plan has been submitted, it is important to maintain current leadership information in the system.
• Links are provided to current program-required training and education.
• System prompts and warnings are included.
• You will be able to review and fix any deficiencies flagged by the system prior to submitting the plan.
• You can store, retrieve, copy, and reuse completed tour and activity plans.
• Files such as trekking plans and flight plans may be uploaded.
• Unit volunteers who currently have access to the tour and activity plan will be able to view and update all plans submitted for their unit up to the day before the scheduled tour date.
• There will be leader certification of the plan prior to submission.

The Tour and Activity Plan Training Video can be found once you log in to your MyScouting.org account.

Merit Badge News

  Time for re-certification! I sent out the re-certification emails with attachments on Friday, April 6th and have already had a good response from you.  It is imperative that all current counselors review this information and respond back to me by May 4, 2012.  A new YPT certificate will be required for all those whose YPT expires this year.   Keep a lookout  for the Kayaking Merit Badge hopefully coming at the end of May and for Search and Rescue Merit Badge in June or July.  There are one or two other badges in the works.  I’ll let you know as I get permission to “leak what’s new on the horizon”.   Don’t forget! For the time being you are to still use the current version of the MBC Listing, dated 1/4/12, posted at crosstimbersdistrict.org/documents/badge.pdf.                                           The username is tiger and the password is Eagle29.  Both words are case sensitive.  This version is good until the re-certification process is completed.  Any questions, contact me.   Charlie Oliver​ 817-467-5418 ceoliver@swbell.net

Clean up Help- St. Barnabas

Arrrowmen,

I hope everyone came through yesterday's storms OK.  I know it's short notice, but I'm forwarding this to you and hoping that the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service can come out to help St. Barnabas; it was hit pretty hard and needs help with clean-up.  This is home to Pack 399, Troop 445, Troop 1932, and Crew. Adults and Scouts would be coming out to help their own. 5 pm Wednesday at St. Barnabas. (One block West of Martin High School on Pleasant Ridge.) MEET AT LITTLE ElEMENTARY.

Please, if you can, let's see if we can lend a hand. Bring your own work gloves.

Thanks.

Yours in the spirit of the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service,

 

Gary Faletti

Subject: Special RequestEveryone,

Can I get everyone up to St. Barnabas on Wednesday night at 5 pm.

I was over at Guy, Amy's and Adon's house and they all got hit hard.  The church also got hit hard.

Even though the boys are small, there is a lot of clean up that is away from the buildings that needs to happen.

Lots of roof shingles and limbs that they can help pick up and I am sure our charter organization will appreciate that. We do need to keep them away from the buildings though as there is a lot of damage to the roof and walls of the buildings and people working around that.

Will just do our part by cleaning up the areas away from the buildings.

Also, CBS was out there tonight and they want to see our Cub Scouts in action and will send out the news truck on Wednesday night if we get enough scouts to help out.

I'm thinking 5 pm would be a good time to meet.  Help out the church and get our scouts on tv.

Thanks,

Greg
