February Law and Cub Scout Theme Scout Law-Friendly A scout is a friend to everyone, even people who are very different from him.
HOW DOES THE THEME“FRIENDS NEAR AND FAR” RELATE TO THIS POINT OF THE SCOUT LAW? A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He offers his friendship to people of all races and nations, and respects the beliefs and customs of others. Friends Near and Far reminds us that we are part of something bigger than our own community. By living the Scout Law, we are accepting of the world’s peoples and their values.

Upcoming Information
Did You Know? February 8, 2016 will be the 106th birthday/anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. What better way to celebrate than with a “birthday party” called the blue and gold banquet? In nearly all packs, the blue and gold banquet is the highlight of the year. It brings families together for an evening of fun and cheer. It’s often the pack meeting for February, but can be held a different time during the year.
The banquet can be like a regular pack meeting, with songs, skits, stunts, and awards. Or it can be something differ-ent and a little more special. Your pack may decide to bring in an entertainer such as a magician or a storyteller. Some packs invite former members and other Scouting or community leaders to take part. Or you could have a video or slide show of what the pack did during the last 12 months. Some packs use the blue and gold banquet to put on an impressive ceremony for Webelos Scouts as they cross over into Boy Scouting.
Some packs make the banquet a potluck dinner affair, having each family bring a covered dish. Other packs prefer purchasing the food, having it prepared by the parents’ committee, and prorating the cost among those attending the banquet. Some packs have a formal dinner while others just do a cake and ice cream celebration. Every pack is different in numbers of people and budget, so the plans need to be finalized within your pack, with the banquet committee and pack committee working closely together.
December Roundtable the team presented 4 different themes and we also posted the information and handouts on our website—www.deseretpeakcubscouting.com , in the handouts section.
Thanks for all you do! Roger Ekins, CS Roundtable Commissioner Michelle Ekins, Vice Chair/ADC-Cub Scouting

When can adult leaders wear the BSA’s Trained patch? Posted on November 24, 2015 by Bryan Wendell in Ask the Expert, Scouting 101, Scouting Tips, Training
The BSA’s Trained patch sends a clear message to Scouts, fellow Scouters and parents. It says, “I know what I’m doing.” So which adult leaders are eligible to wear this badge of honor? It depends on which program you’re in, but there’s one place
every adult leader must start: with Youth Protection Training. Adult leaders in units are considered trained and eligible to wear the official Trained emblem when they have completed Youth Protection Training and the training courses outlined below. They’re also eligible to wear it if they have completed Youth Protection Training and a previous basic training course when it was current. Here’s everything you need to know about the BSA’s Trained patch: Who can wear the Trained strip? Registered adult leaders who have completed Youth Protection Training and the training courses for their program, which are outlined below.
What are the program-specific requirements? These requirements are for adult leaders. The emblem may be worn only in connection with the emblem of office for which training has been completed. In other words, if you’re an assistant Scoutmaster and a Venturing crew Advisor, but you’ve only taken training for the assistant Scout-master role, you would only wear the trained patch on your Boy Scout uniform — not on your Venturing uniform.
Cub Scouting: Position-Specific training for your position. (Pack Trainers take Pack Commit-
tee Challenge and Fundamentals of Training.) Chartered organization representa-
tives: This Is Scouting and Training the Chartered Organization Representative.
Which patch should I wear? There are two versions: one with red letters and one with green letters. Either may be worn with any BSA uniform. It’s the wearer’s choice, though he or she may wish to match other leaders in the unit. Where do I wear the Trained patch? For shirts with pocket sleeves, the emblem is worn on the left sleeve pocket flap above the badge of office.

Organization
The course is designed to be a
highlight --"a mountaintop
experience" -- for the course
participants. Careful planning and
strict attention to detail provides a
physical/logistic support and program
second to none. Add to this a
thoroughly prepared and enthusiastic
staff and it is little wonder that most
Scouters return from Wood Badge
inspired and prepared to do an even
better job of providing Scouting to
boys.
We would love to have you join us!
