addition to the assistance needed to deliver theprogram. By “no man is an island”, we meanevery leader has a mentor or a friend she or hecan turn to when they need help.

Since the very early days of Scouting, Com-missioners have been there, behind the scenes,helping unit leaders succeed. For the experi-enced unit leader, often all that is needed is justa friendly word of encouragement or a note ofappreciation.

For the brand new leader, the commissionercan be a very welcome oasis in a desert of newjargon, unfamiliar procedures, and high expec-tations. No matter what the experience, unitleaders can find themselves challenged by prob-lems that can best be worked out by thinkingthem through with a friend and mentor. One ofthe tenants of leadership is to use the resourcesof the group. Part of that group is your unitcommissioner. He or she is there for you -- notto do it for you -- but to help you find theanswer.

Unit commissioners come in all shapes andsizes. Many of them have walked in the shoes ofthe unit leader and have “been there and done

Unit leaders are the backbone of the Scout-ing program! By teaching and by example, theyouth in our programs learn the values of goodcharacter and good citizenship. By organizationand planning, our youth experience the fun andadventure that attracts and retains them in thisgreat program. By commitment and dedication,other parents become involved, which gives usthe depth and breadth of good role models, in

that.” Some of them are not as experienced, buthave a genuine desire to help -- which is really allthat is necessary to be an effective commissioner.Commissioners help units succeed by “beingthere.” They observe. They bring informationabout district or council events. They knowwhere to go to find answers or to give feedbackfrom unit leaders. They are particularly helpfulat recharter time because they have been trainedto know how to fill out the form and how toavoid the pitfalls of the process.

Every unit has a commissioner. Every unithas a leader. Every unit has youth members whodeserve the best program we can deliver. Foreach and every one of those youth members, Iencourage unit leaders to welcome your com-missioner into your unit and take advantage ofthe help they can provide!

We’ve seen some interesting statistics lately about wills and bequests in America. Didyou know:

70% of the people in this country who are old enough to have a will do not have a will of any kind.

70% of those who do have wills say that their will is not up to date, or it does not dispose of their property the way they want it to.

20% of all the people who die each year have no surviving spouse, children, or parents to leave their estate to.

Wills provide many ways for you to benefit your local council. But, of course, you canalso benefit your church, schools, and other worthy organizations you support. You canleave specific amounts or property, or you can leave a percentage of your estate. You cancreate memorial gifts in honor of a friend or create a charitable trust to generate incometo you and your family. The possibilities are almost limitless.

A will gives you a lot of options as you decide how your estate will be distributed. But,if you have no will, you have no options. Please call Jason M. Baxendale at (816) 942-933 ext.129 for more information about giving to Scouting through your will. It’s achance to make a significant gift to Scouting and also protect your estate for your fam-ily, loved ones and other organizations.

Let us know how we can help.

Bartle Scout Reservation – Tribe of Mic-O-SayThe Tribe of Mic-O-Say was conceived to intensify the aims and ideals of the Boy Scouts of America. The purpose and

ideals will carry over into a Scout's life wherever he may be, but the basic program is for the Bartle Scout Reservation. It isa boys' program. Leaders are brought into the Tribe so they may interpret and encourage these principles in the lives ofboys. The requirements for Mic-O-Say should not be discussed with Scouts. To do so could mislead Scouts by thinkingthey will be called because they have met what they perceive to be the minimum requirements.

CALL NIGHTThe fourth night of each session is a general campfire call night for the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. The call night portion of

the evening is a ceremony to be witnessed by Tribesmen and registered Scout and adult campers. In adherence to thecamp visitors' policy, as stated in this summer camp leader's guide, visiting hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

We Salute Troop 299 for their Dedication and Loyaltyto Helping their Community

Saturday, three days after ice, in a housestill dark and cold, the Senior Patrol Leaderof Troop 299 called the Mayor of Prairie Vil-lage. “What can my Troop do to help ourcity recover from this disaster?” was the ques-tion posed. The mayor, not sure how toanswer, said he would call back with a plan.While waiting, the church that sponsors theTroop was contacted with a similar requestand responded with a list of three house-holds that needed help with yard clean up.

Last Saturday 20 Scouts and 8 adultsarmed with chain saws, rakes, trash bags,and clippers responded to the call. Theeffort was contagious. One house becamethree, then another and another. TheScouts marveled at the outpouring of grati-tude as people who could not do the workwatched young men at their best. In all tenyards were cleared of debris. The city ofPrairie Village has responded by placingTroop 299 on their Emergency Responselist so people who need to can call for assis-tance. The calls are already coming in.

Do a good turn daily? “Yes we can!” isthe response from the Scouts of Troop299.

Scouting at Troop 299? “We buildbetter men!”

process. We concentrate on membership inthe fall, but this does not mean that boyscan’t join throughout the rest of the year. Inorder to help reach year end requirementsfor Quality District, a benchmark; ChiefScout Executive’s winner’s Circle requires usas a district to have a 2% increase in mem-

bership June, 2001 over June, 2002. Springrecruitment not only brings new boys intothe program, but it also helps us bring backboys who may have become inactive at theend of last year. It may only take an invita-tion to these boys for them to rejoin the pro-gram.

Living The MottoIn the eyes of one Independence family,

Scoutmaster, Gene Pittman, of Troop 1492 wasdefinitely in the right place at the right time.After the ice storm of late January, the Lackeyfamily was outside cutting down fallen and bro-ken tree limbs. When one limb fell on the leg ofCarolyn Lackey, panic and fear set in. Luckilyfor Carolyn, Pittman just happened to be dri-ving by and noticed that the family was in trou-ble. Carolyn, who suffered from a compoundfracture, could have experienced more severeinjuries without Pittman’s knowledge of what todo in an emergency situation. “He knew whatto do because of his Scouting background,” saidLackey. “He knew not to move me, as well as,how to keep my parents calm. We later foundout, if I had been moved, I could have sufferedfrom shock.” Pittman claims he did not thinkthat his actions were out of the ordinary. Hesimply said that he was following the Scoutmotto, “Be Prepared”, and tries his best to liveby it every day. Other leaders within Pittman’stroop say that he truly does follow the Oath andLaw of scouting like no other.

In November of 2001, Pittman celebrated30 years of service as a Scoutmaster. He washonored with the Silver Beaver award, and wasrecently elevated in the Tribe of Mic-O-SayCouncil as the Keeper of the Wampum. He hastraveled to Philmont and always camps with histroop wherever they go. He is a fine example ofleadership within a unit, but also encouragesother leaders to get involved in events and rolesoutside of the unit. In addition to Pittman’s 30years of service, the troop itself celebrated its30th anniversary in February 2002. Hats off toGene and all of the other leaders and youth thatgive Scouting a fine and reputable name.

In-School Unit Sucess StoryIn-school units are an important method for

reaching the youth of our community in everyway possible. These units meet once a weekafter school. Youth have the opportunity to par-ticipate in the Scouting program without everhaving to leave the school. In-school units arerun by a program aid, which provides the lead-ership for the boys. Within the Blue Elk dis-trict, one unit in particular, Pack 4143 withThree Trails Elementary, has been experiencingwonderful success. Under the leadership ofMisty Lewis, the unit has turned into a fullyoperating pack. Lewis and her cub scout havebeen participating in community service pro-

jects, working on activities to achieve advance-ments, and holding courts of honor to recog-nize those advancements. The unit itself hasexperienced growth in numbers through bothboys and parents, with increasing parent partic-ipation along the way. Thank you to Misty forall of her hard work to make this in-school unitgreat!
